Move House procedures

[myfs_140625]

Dear Master

I am moving into my new house. My plan is to get movers to move my existing stuff (eg piano, washing machines, clothes) to my new house on 9th June. And on 11th june, I will formally move into my new house together with my ancestors tablet and existing Buddha statue.

My questions for you would be:

1) is it ok that my existing stuff eg washing machine, clothes etc get move into the new house first (i.e on the 9th of jUne) followed by ancestor tablet & Buddha statue on the 11th?

Some people say the god & ancestors must move into the new house first before the old funiture can move in. Is this true and is it necessary to follow this rule?

pls advise and thanks.

These are some of the considerations:-

1. If the breadwinner and spouse had already slept in the new or resale home especially :

1.1. Used the built in stove to cook a meal:
1.2. Bathed in the home
1.3. Slept in the new or resale home

2. Especially if all these three ACTIVITIES were done say in the same day; then no need to talk: this is already considered as "moved-in".

3. If one brings in a used washing machine; but did not use it; this is in the loose sense - for practical reasons; fine or OK.

4. It is the same thing as an "old" or "existing" dining table brought into the new home. So long as one does not use it for proper dining; then it is technically fine.

5. For example, some people love antique furniture. And say you just purchased this furniture i.e. a set of dining table and chairs. To you it is a "new" furniture as you have never used it before. It is just asking a shop to bring in your new sofa or fridge.

6. Again there is no hard or fast rule; here.

7. Anyway; if one believes in one's god; you do thing that your god will be so petty as to "fix" you up if you bring in old furniture... or the god "gets angry" because one brings in the god's existing altar.. Will the god request that one get's it a new altar?

8. For the die-hards or the "Kia-su"(scared to lose) or worse the "Kia-see" (scared to die) then make sure don't bring in anything "old"..lor...

9. There is no right or wrong, here.

10. Please ponder over this statement: "Frankly, if my GOD is so PETTY; I would not even consider bringing the GOD into my new home."
