Roof And Poison Arrow

[myfs_88310]

Dear Master Cecil:
Standing at the side of a house, most of the roof looks like /\ -- an arrow points to the sky. Is it a poison arrow? Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. The test for a real treat is : for us to stand inside of our house - Main door and windows and look out directly. If we do not see a threat slicing straight into our house, this is normally not a threat.
2. However, if it is an angle of a house and it `cuts' into our house, this is considered a threat.
3. For office buildings, reflective glass can be considered as a threat, since it reflects or deflect light.
4. For the home, a threat can seeminly come from the walls of another house. For example, if the afternoon sun, shines onto this wall, and from our window, we get a really bad reflective glare, this can be considered as deflected, sha qi.
A simple solution is the use of a set of day curtains on this window.
5. Therefore, everything should be considered as a threat.
6. For all homes, it is a real advantage to have a symmetrical roof as this is symbolic of an UP sign. As the profile of the house looks like an arrow pointing upwards:-

Can one see an `up' arrow much like the profile of a house.
Warmest Regards,
