அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்

Do I have to rebuild if a room is in the wrong place?

No. The tradition assumes you cannot move a kitchen or a staircase, which is why almost every placement rule comes with a remedy — usually a change within the room (where the hob sits, which way the bed faces, what is stored in a corner) rather than a change to the building.
