Sunny,
I had meant to respond before, but I wanted to do it now. I am happy to gather and to go via email or to keep posts public to help.
My personal energy number is 7 and my biggest issue has been that I love my house, but it is an East group house and I am a West group (along with the person who lives with me in the house who is a 6 energy number). As a result, my front door faces E (straight east as the street runs north/south). My best directions are in the back of the house.
Feel free to post if you have gone with #2 or something else.
Best,
Clio
