Dear Cecil,
Thanks for your reply. Would like to clarify some things:
* The trees planted have about 8-10 ft. distance between them. Also, I planted them in the first place because there was way too much sunlight coming in and the rooms facing that side used to get very hot. These trees also do not have dense foliage. Is it still a problem area? Before planting them, do not think I slept any better. Then all that desolate muddy space used to bother me.
* The plants inside the halls are small plants - money plants, spiders - in small containers. The bigger plants are outside the hall windows on the ledge.
* About the water bodies, if you mean bathrooms, etc., I have tried to put down approx. where each is below:

* Adjoining my bedroom, is the bathroom. Next to it is the toilet. Both open out into the kitchen. Sink in the west corner of this kitchen.This is Flat 101.
* Similar layout of bathroom and toilet in Flat 102. In line with toilet door, along wall, is fridge; next to it filter and vessels with drinking water on a wrought iron stand.

Main entrance: Door of Flat 102 which faces NE.
Building entrance is more N/NW oriented.

If you could please advise on the above.

You had asked about my birthdate and time: My birth date is 3.6.1962
>>and time and day is 7.15 am,
>>Sunday.

Thanks and regards,

Anon
