If stairs have to be built in the North out of compulsion, how should they be made?
Leave some space in the North and build the stairs of wood, since wood also represents Mercury and is light. If a cement structure is unavoidable, leave even more space. Never make them anticlockwise or spiral: anticlockwise and rounded stairs should not be built anywhere in the house.

Are stairs made of mixed iron and plywood acceptable in the North?
Stairs should not be built in the North at all; if they must be, use wood. Many showrooms with wooden double-height staircases are found to do very well, because wood represents Mercury just as stairs and business do, so wooden stairs boost intelligence and keep business running.
How should the number of stairs be counted, and how many should there be?
Count the risers: each time the foot rises to the next level (each tappa) is one stair. Keep the number odd, and since stairs carry three currents named Indra, Yama and Raj (like ida, pingala and sushumna, or plus, minus and neutral), count Indra, Yama, Raj in turn and make the last step fall on Raj or Indra, never on Yama, as the 8th would. Then the current reaches the upper floor positive.

The waste water of the whole house goes out from the North. Does that have an effect?
If it goes out deep underground there is no bad effect. If it runs about 9 inches below the surface, the effect is very large. At about one and a half feet deep there is no bad effect.
