Hi everyone,

Bathsheba suggested I post in here for some suggestions.

Since moving into our house three years ago, everything seems to go wrong. We built the house and it was one fight after another with the builder. They did stupid things, as builders do, like plastering the walls before any electrical work was done, etc.

Anyway, since moving in we've battled everything. Mail doesn't get delivered. Our council rates are an absolute joke - resulting in court summonses twice, and both times the council admitting it is their fault. Fighting with an electricity company, a big 4 bank, the list goes on and on. Each time we've won the battle, but it's taking a massive toll on DH and I as a couple.

To make everything worse, I m/c my first baby, DD was born with hip dysplacia and we went through the entire brace/surgery/plaster/brace merry-go-round for 11 months. The pup we bought when we moved in had 15 vet visits in her first year - she had a skin cancer on her leg, something wrong with her tail, eye irritations, the list just went on and on and the vet couldn't quite believe it. DH has lost two jobs this year and last year - once because of the GFC, and this one now because the company he works for is contracted to BP and they're cutting back on spending to allow for the oil spill blow out.

My house is L shaped. The cut out is the back left corner. The house is rectangular, with the third bedroom jutting out the back, making it L shaped. We've built an enclosed pergola there, with the two house walls framing one half, and our back and side fences framing the other. Outside we have a half wine barrel fish pond, a coonara heater, a hanging chair and some dragonfly metal work. The outside of our house is a earthy coloured brick, like the colour of wet clay. Inside walls are soft yellow with white cornices, ceiling and skirting boards.

I really don't know much about any of this, but if anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to give our house a more positive and lucky energy, I'm all ears. If plants are the suggestion, the backyard is pretty much full shade. The only light coming in comes through some tinted roof sheets.

Thanks to anyone who has gotten through all of this and thanks again to Bathsheba for suggesting I post here.
