Does increasing the energy of the South-East or South-South-East raise the chance of theft, fire or accidents?
No, this idea is wrong and should be removed from the mind. An element's own zone can bear any amount of that element: kitchens burn daily in the South-East, factories run furnaces there day and night, and a plant in Goa melts quartz in its South-East without such problems; high mountains in the South-West only strengthen the earth element there.

A washing machine uses water, so why can it go in the South-East?
What runs it is electricity, which represents fire; the kitchen in the SE also has water. So a washing machine can go in the SE, ESE, SSE and also the North-West.

In farmhouse landscaping the corners are often hidden for the design. Is that the harmful covering of corners?
Yes, it is not good; industries whose corners were fully covered have suffered losses. The rule concerns the corners of the whole land at the boundary wall: covering inside an industry or along a side is acceptable, but not a corner (vidisha). A small 3 to 4 ft landscaped bed in a corner is fine; the problem is when the whole zone, for example the entire South-East area, is covered.
Is a tall chimney in the South-East a dosh?
No. In practice even very tall chimneys in the SE showed no dosh, because the fire element always goes upward, as swar vigyan also shows; a rising chimney suits fire.
