Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Diamond Feng Shui outline of house

I checked with coaching about this a few weeks ago, but now that I look more closely I am still in doubt.

Here is the problem. the out line of my house could be represented roughly by a square until you add the attached garage.

the garage sits on one side of the house and the garage is close to half again the length of the house, but not near as deep so it creates a missing area in front of the garage. Like a very chunky L shape with the garage being the top part of the long side of the L. i understand it to this point and have the perimeter drawn to include the garage.

The problem is two rooms that extend along the front of the house. (at the short end of the L shape) without the garage they are easily more than one third the lenght of the house.

But with the garage, they no longer fit the rule of one third the length or more. Yet they feel like part of the house, and of course the garage is just a garage.

i have the drawing now including them - making a lot more missing area, but it feels right. "by the book" these two rooms would be extensions. but only because the garage creates a longer wall on that side.

So even though these two rooms are more than one third the length of the house, they are not more than one third of the length of the house/garage.

I was told this was the correct perimeter - the larger outline including the protruding rooms. But I did not ask specifically about the one third rule at that time. I want to make double sure that I have it correct before working any more with the grid of my house!

Thank you!

Best,
