I have been trying to accurately place the ba-gua for my house, but am confused on a few elements.

1) There is a room over the garage on the second floor. When I place the ba-gua for the first floor, do I include the garage in the footprint of the house? It sticks out beyond the rest of the front of the house by 10-15 feet (depending on where you draw the line). Including it would mean that Knowledge and Career are cut off by quite a bit. Excluding it to the degree that it extends beyond the front edge of the house at the other corner means that the entire Mentor/Helpful Friends gua is either in the garage, the laundry room, the back hall between the garage and the laundry room, and a corner of it is in the guest bath. This also leaves a bit of a jut in the center (career) where a rarely used guest bedroom is located. Which is correct?

2) Does the second floor ba-gua have to be the same size as the main floor? The second floor of the house is 13 feet narrower (except for a 12 foot wide room that juts out - it's not overly used either).

3) No matter where I draw the lines, Helpful Friends are in the garage on the first floor. How can I cure that? Will activating that area on the second floor help or counteract it?

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give!
