Outhouses
The corners at N-W, N-E and S-E belong to air, God and fire. Any erection therein, which restricts free movement of air along the walls, interferes with smooth operation of the natural process allott
ed to the respective corners. Not that a cover is entirely forbidden, the only precaution required is that a distance, say about one meter, is provided between the outhouse and the compound wall or the periphery for circulation of air in the corner . Moreover, the roof of the cover at N-E should be low, say not more than two meters. In the other two corners the height should be less than the height of the main building. None of these three corners may be utilized for storing lumber, scrap etc. N-W is suited best for employees and vehicles. S-E is suited equally well for employees but as a second choice for vehicles.
The position at S-W is different. This belongs to the demoness. Hence, we do not allow freedom of air in the corner. The outhouse in this corner is erected adjacent to the two walls and the height of the roof may be kept higher than that of
the main building with advantage. Utilization is recommended for lumber, scrap and all such material which mostly remains static or out of use. It must not be used as a garage, else the vehicle would get neglected and develop faults conducive to stagnation and expensive maintenance. The accommodation in this corner is not to be allotted to an employee. Else, he becomes obstinate and unruly. If a tenant is put there, he assumes a firm foothold and may never agree to leave.
The Plot & Topography:
We continue with the study of the requirements in respect of the space lying between the periphery and the main house. We covered some details regarding utilization of the corners for outhouses. To conclude, it is necessary also that no outhouse comes into contact with the main building. There should be gap enough to permit circumvention of the main house.
Other items which fall outside the main house in the compound are, underground water storage, well, fountain, septic tank & soak pit as also trees and plants. Surface drains also have to be taken into account.
Underground water storage & well
These are located only in the north-east zone but off the diagonal connecting the north-east angle with the south-west angle. A fountain or a waterfall is also very beneficial to have in the north-east zone.
Septic tank and soak pit
The best place for these is the western end to the northern side of the house. The second best is the northern end on the western side of the house. There is absolutely no alternative slot for these items.
