• The power pole should not be in the north-east corner of the plot as this is the place for water.

• If you have bought a plot of irregular shape, you can divide it into two regular plots by separating it through compound walls.
• Create a shop or garage on the south-west side if the plot has an extended portion in this direction. If the plot has an extension on the north-east side, construct a small temple and plan a garden, if the extension is in the north, the east or the north-east side.
• You can also use Vastu pyramids to nullify the impact of plot extensions in different directions. For instance, a lead pyramid can be used in the south-west extension or a brass pyramid in the north-west extension. Similarly, copper strips are ideal for the south-east extension.
