When a person buys an apartment, he does not really think about which floor he will live on. If only there was enough money and the area was good and the shops in walking distance etc. Only later, when the housewarming party has already been celebrated and the euphoria of the first month of living in the new house has subsided, a vile thought may appear: "What the hell have I done!"

When I chose the apartment myself, taking into account my previous experience, I very carefully approached the choice of the "right" floor. Now, looking from the windows of my dwelling at a huge shining sunset, I do not stop congratulating myself on the fact that the floor was chosen well. Want to tell me why I think so?

This is my 24th apartment!

During my not very long life - 44 years - I changed 24 apartments. How is this possible? Maybe I'm super rich and I change apartments like gloves? In fact, everything is much more prosaic. I just grew up in a military family, and they, as you know, do not stay in one place for a long time. So most of the places of residence were changed in puppyhood. When I grew up and became "big", it became possible for me to choose where to live. At first it was the apartment of the wife's parents, then rented, and finally, the first own apartment in the new house that my wife and I bought when I was 35 years old.

It is not difficult to guess that the experience of living on different floors, including those where there was a minus sign in front of the number, allows me to reason competently about which floor is better for living, where is the best place to buy an apartment, what is the significance view from the window etc.

Of course, what you read here, if you want to read it at all, will be my purely subjective opinion. I admit that in some situations, my ideas can be easily criticized or generally regarded as utopian. However... let me meditate on a given topic, write a kind of essay. I would be glad if, when choosing another apartment, you suddenly remember this text and make a more reasonable choice.

Which floor is best to live on?

Imagine that you are standing in front of the entrance to a high-rise building. It so happened that you have the opportunity to be the very first buyers in it. All apartments are ready to move in and still free. Which floor will you choose?

Do not hurry. First, let's look at what are the pros and cons of the lower, middle and upper floors. I'm willing to bet I'll write things that would never even occur to a person without experience. And they really matter a lot. So let's go.

Apartment on the first floor. Get ready for battle!

Let's start with the fact that when I was born, my family just lived on the first floor. Such houses are popularly called "Stalinist". That is, it was built in ancient times and then, probably, it was considered "elite housing", if this concept existed at that time.

Of course you can object. A new, just built house and a "stalinka" of the 40s of the last century are far from the same thing. It is believed that now they have already "learned how to build" and that it is possible to live in a new house on the first floor. I agree. Can. But here's what awaits you if you agree to it.

Problems with the elevator on the first floor

Surprised? No need to be surprised. Although you will never need an elevator, you will nevertheless be required to pay for it regularly every month exactly as much as those living upstairs pay. That's how it's done. I remember what passions flared up when the residents of the first and second floors declared that they did not intend to pay for the elevator, since they did not use it (this was already later, not in this Stalinist building).

Benefits of ground floor apartments

But you can look at the problem from the other side. After all, if you live on the first floor, then you get from the apartment to the street and back much faster. AT ordinary life this may not be so important. But if a fire suddenly breaks out in the house, then you will be very glad that you don’t have to mince up the stairs from the very top floor, dragging the most expensive in an armful, but just go outside, and then still have time to return for the second batch of the most expensive, then for the third etc. Moreover, it is quite possible to leave the apartment through the window.

Yes, and bulky things are convenient to buy, since delivery to the entrance is usually free, and there you can somehow tighten up and drag the coveted new piece of wood into the apartment on your own.

Again - if the apartment is on the ground floor, it is more convenient to keep track of your car left near the house. In which case, you can quickly go outside and "hang lyuley" to juvenile hooligans who tried to break off something necessary from it, for example, a brand name.

Even the inhabitants of the first floors sometimes even have a small "own" plot in the front garden, where you can plant some kind of gladioli and begonias.

And it’s absolutely great if you can leave your apartment located on the ground floor through a separate exit to a fenced mini garden. So you can put a bench, break flower beds, put a swing for a child. A sort of piece of land attached to a city apartment. Such projects of multi-storey buildings are very rare, but they still occur.

If it happens that your water pipe bursts, then you will not "flood the neighbors" and you will not have to repair them if it is proved that the flood is your fault. On the other hand, if the upper neighbors decide to flood someone thoroughly, then you are unlikely to be able to avoid their flows.

And (I almost forgot) children can run around the floor even until they turn blue. No one will come to make trouble from the lower floor for not having it. And finally, the walls on the first floors are usually thicker than on the upper ones, so the audibility will be less (although on panel houses this rule does not apply).

Yes! Something turns out some advantages. It's time to pour tar.

Disadvantages of ground floor apartments

The very first drawback is the proximity of the basement. If you buy an apartment in a new house, then this is not so bad. But in old houses (which are 20-40 years old), the basement really becomes a source of problems. First: it is a smell and dampness. You know, in an ordinary weighted average cellar, something is always leaking. That the sewer will break through, then hot water... All this rises through the cracks to the apartment on the first floor (and sometimes the second - third).

For example, I can cite this fact. My parents live in a house built according to a German project. There are really good apartments, BUT! Every time I enter the entrance, I involuntarily hold my breath and try to leave the first floor without breathing. Why? Yes, I just don’t want to inhale that stench that comes from the basement and the garbage chute (there will be a separate discussion about it). This smell practically does not reach the third floor, but in the apartments of the first floors there is no escape from it. I asked the residents - they are not happy.

Secondly: the already mentioned garbage chute. You know, for some reason it's not so fragrant on the upper floors. But below, closer to the garbage chamber, wow! Especially in the summer, in the heat, when all these impurities, in addition, begin to rot and exude ... One consolation is winter is coming, then the smell is not so noticeable. Continuing the theme: sometimes there are garbage cans right under the windows of houses. They also, you know, do not ozonize the air. I don’t know about you, but I still would like to breathe clean air, as much as possible in the city.

The basement and the garbage chute are not only sources bad smell, but also the neighborhood with restless inhabitants, such as cockroaches, mice, and even rats. In the apartment where I lived after my birth, this goodness was more than enough. The matter was aggravated by the fact that the apartment was communal and none of the neighbors special efforts for rodent control. They felt almost like owners in the apartment. What was the fight of two rats in the built-in closet worth alone - one of the most vivid impressions of childhood! I still remember what a screech was, and the roar was such, as if these were not rats, but two rhinoceroses came together in a deadly fight.

And at night it was better not to leave the room. Rats could easily attack in the corridor and bite on the leg. Brrr!

Now this is probably no longer there, but anyway, the first floor is a potential neighborhood with dangerous creatures. Not now, but over time.

There is another unpleasant moment in living on the first floor. Because of the fear of burglary, you have to decorate your windows with bars. No matter how curly and beautiful they are, they will still be lattices. If there is a fire in the house, and the grate is put on the conscience, then just jumping out the window will not work. Not everything is as simple as I myself wrote a few paragraphs earlier.

And finally - a constantly spitting entrance, because crowds of people will walk past your doors all the time. This is noise, because they cannot go in silence - one must certainly beat the whole entrance. It's the smell of smoke. These are some types looking into the windows from the street. Yes, a lot more. And yet, God forbid, there will be a bench near the entrance under your window. On warm summer nights you will not fall asleep - guess why.

Maybe in time I'll remember something else and add it.

Apartment on the top floor - pros and cons

The highest floor I have ever lived on is the fifteenth. I still live here. Here I sit, writing this text and at the same time looking at the sunset outside the window:

Sometimes such beautiful sunsets happen, just a miracle! Sit in front of the window and take pictures!

Although my floor is not the highest, I still roughly know about the problems that my neighbors who live two floors above face.

The first problem is a hot roof in the summer. Even if the house has a technical floor, anyway, during the day the roof of the house warms up so that there is nothing to breathe in the apartments on the top floor. Air conditioning, of course, is a good thing, but he, the dog, eats electricity with large spoons. So either fry or pay.

Another problem is that if the pumps are not powerful enough, then there are interruptions in water supply. Especially during peak hours, when all tenants start taking baths at the same time. We do not have such a problem at home, but in the neighboring microdistrict there is. They are less fortunate.

Thin walls - excellent audibility. The fact is that in high-rise buildings the walls on different floors really have different thicknesses. At the bottom they are thicker, the higher - the thickness of the walls decreases. This is done to facilitate the construction of the upper floors, so that you can save on the foundation and building materials in general.

I remember when we first moved in new apartment, no one lived in the neighboring one for a long time. It was quiet and calm. And then all of a sudden they started doing renovations. And then the neighbor himself moved in and started making noise at night. No, he did not shout, did not turn on the music. He and his wife just sat in their room and talked. And not to say that it's so loud. And we lay behind the wall in our bedroom and could not sleep, because we clearly heard every word. So the audibility on the upper floors is the price for beautiful view out of the window. But, living on the very top floor, you will never be disturbed by the noise from the neighbors from above.

Now that the main pros and cons are listed, let's go through the most common myths that are often taken for granted when buying apartments.

What floor do mosquitoes reach?

It is believed that the higher the floor on which your apartment is located, the less mosquitoes there are. And somewhere up there there is such a point, a border beyond which mosquitoes cannot penetrate.

When I bought an apartment on the 15th floor, I secretly hoped that I would no longer need the good old fumitox. And really, can mosquitoes fly to such a high floor? As it turns out, they can. And not some units there, the most daring and powerful specimens! Not! There are no less of them here than on the lower floors. It is worth opening the window and turning on the light on a summer evening, and in a few minutes you will already hear a nasty thin squeak at your ear.

It is very difficult for me to judge higher floors, but I think that mosquitoes will also be able to fly to the 25th and 37th floors. True, there they will already be disturbed by the wind, which the higher, the more intense it becomes. Probably all the same there is a certain border above which mosquitoes do not rise, but most likely it is very floating. Its height depends on many factors. For example, on a warm windless day, mosquitoes can easily rise to the top of a 25-story building (I recently took pictures from the roof of such a skyscraper and a mosquito bit me there :).

In windy weather, the boundary passes lower. However, in any case, prepare nets, fumitox or something like that. No matter how high you climb, mosquitoes can fly even higher.

It remains only to add that on the ground floor mosquitoes can be present in apartments in winter as well. They can easily breed in the basement if it is warm enough and there is water.

Which floor has the cleanest air?

Again - from which side to look. For example, living on a high 15th floor, we really almost never smell exhaust fumes. And this is despite the fact that the house is located on a busy intersection. So exhaust gases don't bother us.

Quite another matter - could. You know, sometimes in the morning I go out onto the balcony and find this picture there:

If you live in big city, then smog could not be avoided on any floor. The same can be said about the smell of tobacco. With the entry into force of the anti-tobacco law, smokers have adapted to smoke on balconies. Sometimes you go out onto the balcony to get some fresh air, open the window, and a sharp smell of tobacco hits your face, as if you looked into a soldier's smoking room. We have to close and wait for the majesty to pray. Then another majesty goes out onto the balcony and ... this stinking marathon continues constantly, with a break only for night sleep and at the time when all the neighbors go to work.

Here I would like to mention the situation when there is a store in your house on the first floor. This means that goods will be constantly brought there and unloaded. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for noise, dust and exhaust gases.

So it is, but this is true only for the lower floors. For example, in our house there is a grocery store Magnit - quite large. We have an unloading area under our window, but this does not bother us at all, since neither dust, nor fumes from cars, nor smells from stale products simply do not reach the 15th floor. True, it is still noisy, but it is worth talking about the noise from the street separately.

The upper floors are not so noisy.

Let me tell you right now - this is not true. Of course, you will not hear the old women talking on the bench at the entrance, as on the first floor, but all other sounds will be perfectly audible.

When we moved into an apartment on the 15th floor, there was a timid hope that it would be much quieter than downstairs. However, the noise of cars at the crossroads, and the scream of football players on the sports ground, and the music from the summer cafe - all this is heard just as well as on the first floor.

Moreover, you will be haunted by sounds that do not really bother the lower neighbors. For example - the whistle of the wind in the windows. I could not even imagine before that because of strong wind you can not sleep at night - it's so noisy (especially if the apartment has 7 windows). The sound of a locomotive railway three kilometers from the house, a plane taking off, the squeal of tires of a car passing by who knows where, the hum of lawn mowers on the lawn across the lake...

On the lower floors, some of these sounds simply die out, passing through the foliage of trees and other natural obstacles. And there are no obstacles on the upper floors. So get ready, as they say hear the world from a bird's eye view.

Apartments on the middle floors

The concept of "middle floor" is very relative. In some houses it will be the 8th-10th floor, in others it will be the second. I could not fail to mention this option, although there is not much to write about it.

I choose

Now let me give my point of view on the problem of choosing a floor for living. If we are not talking about a private house, then when choosing an apartment, I would prefer the top, or at least a fairly high floor. Main reasons - good views windows and cleaner air.

Children ask many questions, very important in life. Adults sometimes simply do not have time to even formulate them. For example, which floor do mosquitoes reach? And is it possible, having climbed onto the roof of the tallest building, not to meet insects there? It is easier for adults to buy a fumigator and not think about them at all.

flying bloodsuckers

To find out how high mosquitoes fly, you first need to understand what they are. These insects belong to the Diptera family, a phylum of arthropods. And in fact - they have only two wings, and legs, or rather, paws, of which 3 pairs, seem to consist of separate pieces. Interestingly, the paws end in claws.

Mosquitoes are terrible nuisances, they interfere with people with their squeak. The squeak is the sound of the wings working at a speed of almost 1000 strokes per minute. Moreover, insects of both sexes emit a squeak, but males, by the difference in it, determine for themselves the best partner for mating. From buzzing if there are these insects in the room. And the answer to the question ofwhich floor the mosquitoes reach can be the most unpredictable.

Bloodsucker and victims

Mosquitoes are distributed throughout the planet, with the exception of the poles. And even then, if larvae brought with things appear in the dwellings of scientists working in the Arctic and Antarctica, then in a warm room they will hatch, grow into adults and begin to multiply. Mosquitoes affect all people on the planet. Even those that live in the mountains are not immune to annoying squeaks and annoying bites.

By the way, only females bite in these insects, which is time to breed. In order for fertilized eggs to develop, the mosquito needs blood, from which it receives glucose and other substances important for future offspring. Males and females, who have already laid their eggs and are not yet ready for a new mating, feed on the nectar of flowers and pollen from plants.

No less mosquitoes bother a person and flies. These insects also live all over the world, and there are several hundred varieties of them. Butto what floor do mosquitoes and flies reach, and is it possible to hide from them at least on the very top floor of the tallest building in the world?

Where to hide?

What is the maximum height a mosquito can fly? "Up to the ceiling" is a traditional joking answer. Indeed, why should he strive upwards, if nearby you can safely have lunch or dinner, if not with blood, then with nectar and pollen. And yet it's just interesting - how high can this insect fly, if it is really needed? By nature, they have a sense of survival, and you can survive where it is warm and humid, where there are plants, which means food, and warm-blooded animals or people, so that offspring can be raised.

There is evidence that mosquitoes have been seen even in the Himalayas, at an altitude of more than 5000 km above sea level. Perhaps the insects themselves would hardly have flown there, most likely they got there along with people. Larvae or already adults - no one will say, but the fact that they were able to survive there is a fact.

But high is not only in the mountains. On the last floors of multi-storey buildings, you can also hear squeaks and be bitten. These insects can use the elevator, fly in shafts and air ducts from apartment to apartment, from floor to floor. So the answer to the question of whetherabout which floor mosquitoes fly, surprisingly simple - to the last. And even higher, if necessary, to the roof, where perhaps there are puddles of water where you can lay eggs so that new generations hatch from them in the sun.

Mosquito "nurseries"

Mosquitoes will feel good somewhere high in the mountains if they are warm, nourished, and have somewhere to breed. And for offspring need water. It is she who becomes the nursery for the larvae. Therefore, any puddle, barrel of water, indoor aquarium can become a breeding ground for squeaking annoyances.

How to defend yourself?

Mosquitoes are ordinary insects, human neighbors on the planet. But they are so annoying, like flies, that people have dreamed of getting rid of them for centuries. They bite, causing itching, and some species also carry all sorts of diseases. Mosquito squeaks are very disturbing, especially at night when you need to sleep. And even though you live on the first floor, even under the very roof of a high-rise building (to which floor mosquitoes fly, it’s already clear - to the very last), you can’t just hide from their annoyingness. Therefore, people learn to deal with these neighbors.

Help in this different ways. For example, geneticists tested genetically modified males unable to fertilize a female in the Cayman Islands. After such an experiment, the number of these insects in the test area decreased markedly. But such an experiment is impossible on the entire planet, because mosquitoes are an integral part of the ecosystem.

According to some information obtained from the study of the symbiosis of plants and insects, it became known that mosquitoes carry useful substances that plants cannot obtain in any other way. So you can not destroy these insects! In addition, some insectivorous animals also feed on them, which benefit humans too. The easiest way to get rid of bloodsuckers is in the immediate vicinity of people - in houses, in city squares and parks. This can be done by protecting windows and ventilation inlets and outlets with special nets, including fumigators and ultrasonic devices that can repel these annoying mosquitoes, as well as flies, using repellents while walking or working in summer cottages.

Mosquitoes and flies are part of nature, just like humans. But man is a rational being who understands his responsibility for the whole world. So to completely destroy what nature has created is dangerous for humanity itself. And the phrase "Protect nature!" will forever remain relevant.

Each of us thinks about which floor is better to live on. The solution to this issue depends not only on personal preferences, but also on comfort and safety.

So, for example, the first floor is still in disgrace with the Russians. The discount for such apartments is very significant, in some cases even up to 20 percent. However, the last floors also go at a reduced price, because few people want to face a roof leak or become a victim of a thief who can climb into an apartment directly from the roof. Although it is fair to say that all this is relevant only for old high-rise buildings.

AT modern houses under the roof there is a technical floor, and in elite high-rise buildings, the last floors are the most expensive at all (they are often taken for penthouse equipment). In standard dwellings, apartments located from the fourth to the seventh floor scatter first.

How to choose your floor?

And yet, on which floor is it better to live in high-rise building? Let's try to figure it out.

First floor

1. Pros: In the event of a collapse, fire, or any other emergency, leaving the first floor will be the easiest, at least if the windows are not tightly barred.
2. Cons: apartments located on the ground floor, most often become victims of robbers. They have the most high level noise, dirty air, and also basement dampness is felt, and mosquitoes torment in the summer.

Second floor

1. Pros: quite safe. Good for the elderly and young families with children.
2. Cons: the same as the apartments on the ground floor, except to a lesser extent.

Third floor

1. Pros: in old five-story houses it has always been considered optimal.
2. Cons: if the elevator breaks down, the first inconvenience will begin. It is not catastrophic to overcome this distance on your own, but it will already be difficult to lift the furniture.

Fourth to sixth floor

1. Pros: from the point of view of ecology, they are the safest.
2. Cons: In the event of a breakdown of the elevator, you will need to be in good physical shape to get into your own apartment.

seventh floor

1. Pros: standard high-rise buildings are golden mean. The noise level is low, the air is cleaner, the fear of heights is not yet felt.
2. Cons: for people with an unbalanced psyche, as well as those suffering from cardiovascular diseases, it is better not to settle higher.

From the eighth to the sixteenth floor

1. Pros: most bright apartments located on these floors. Even very tall trees are shorter.
2. Cons: if there are smoking pipes nearby, alas, their negative impact on these floors will be most noticeable.

Seventeenth floor and above

1. Pros: excellent panoramic view, clean air. Heat, as you know, rises, so these apartments are also the warmest.
2. Cons: during a fire, the greatest danger lies in wait here. In addition, toxic products also tend to spread from the bottom up.

Last floor

1. Pros: in the event of a fire, help can be provided from the roof. On the top floor, you can equip a fireplace or attach part of the attic.
2. Cons: very high risk of robbery. If the house is old, the water pressure will be weak and leaks can often occur.

Thus, the most favorable for living is the central part of the house. Therefore, if you are wondering which floor is better to live in a 17-story building, then pay attention to the eighth and ninth floors.

Where can one breathe more comfortably and freely?

The state of our health is directly dependent on living conditions. It is clear that the purest and Fresh air outside the city, but, unfortunately, not everyone can afford a luxurious mansion. Therefore, it does not hurt to know which floor to choose.

First of all, let's talk about the characteristics of air. What air is considered clean and what is dirty? Let's do a comparative study:

1. Clean air contains 21 percent oxygen, while polluted air contains only 15 percent.
2. The nitrogen content in clean air is 77 percent, in polluted air it is 71 percent.
3. Clean air contains 0.03 percent carbon dioxide, while polluted air contains 0.108 percent.
4. The percentage of impurities from dust, soot, xenon and neon in clean air is 1.97, and in dirty air - 13.9.

It is worth noting that in cities the air is not always so polluted, but the proximity of the highway, for example, will make the overall picture depressing.

Why is dirty air dangerous?

Polluted air causes whole line diseases:

• Sarcoidosis.
• Diseases of the upper respiratory tract (allergic rhinitis).
• Exacerbation of chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract (bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis).
• Alveolitis ( inflammatory processes in the lungs of a non-infectious nature).
• Bronchial asthma.

As you can see, the list of potential threats is quite impressive. Now let's talk directly about the floors and their air properties.

The floor rises - the air improves

1. First - fourth floors. Here there is an accumulation of exhaust gases, whose maximum concentration is kept at the level of the third floor. However, there are trees outside the windows. But the grass in their shade grows so poorly that often the lawn under the windows is not an aesthetically and ecologically attractive object, but only a dusty surface.
2. Fifth - seventh floors. Exhaust gases do not reach the fifth floor, however, from the seventh and above, harmful substances accumulate from the pipes of enterprises.

Seventeenth floor and up. There is constant electromagnetic radiation here. Since the house is reinforced concrete structure, electric waves are not passed through, but circulate around the apartment, while part of the background is given out to higher floors. The intensity of the cumulative background depends precisely on the height of the floor, which is why the upper inhabitants are more likely to suffer from bad mood and headaches.

Thus, the best choice in terms of air purity will be apartments located from the fifth to the seventh floor. However, the rest should not panic buying gas masks, because following certain sanitation rules, you can significantly improve the air quality in the apartment.

Air purification methods

1. Do not smoke in the apartment.
2. Clean hoods regularly. As a rule, due to accumulated dust and dirt, they do not let air through at all.
3. Get rid of excess carpets. Not only are they a relic of the Soviet past, they are also real dust collectors, which are very difficult to clean thoroughly.
4. Plant several plants about half a meter high. The gold medal for oxygen production belongs to sansevieria (other names are pike tail, mother-in-law's tongue). Also keep in mind that wet leaves absorb carbon dioxide much better than dry ones.
5. Ventilate the apartment more often, even if the house is located in the immediate vicinity of the road. This will significantly reduce the concentration harmful substances in the air.
6. Spend regularly wet cleaning in the house.
7. Periodically wash curtains and curtains, because they accumulate a lot of dust, especially if they are made of synthetics.
8. Put plastic windows. Due to good insulation, they pass much less dust and dirt.
9. Purchase special air purifiers.

Feng Shui says so

I wonder what the Chinese teaching will tell us? How will the chosen floor affect the harmony of your life? We offer to find out which floor is better to live for health according to Feng Shui.

So, remember, houses with how many floors are the most favorable in terms of energy:

1. Three-story.
2. Five-story.
3. Seven-story.
4. Nine-story.
5. Twelve-story.

The following buildings are unfavorable:

1. Four-storey.
2. Eight-story.
3. Thirteen stories and up.

In skyscrapers with more than twelve floors, you will feel uncomfortable, as your energy will not be enough to fully develop the space. There may be a feeling of restlessness and instability, as if you were suspended in the air.

A person does not always choose his floor on his own - often karma does it for him. Living on a particular floor, you can solve your fateful problems. Thus, behind any floor there is a special karmic lesson.

What floor is good to live on

Which floor is better to live in the city? Consider each floor separately:

1. Living on the first floor, you can find the key to solving many problems in your life and get rid of negative emotions. Destroying destructive attitudes, you step on the path of renewal and progress.
2. On the second floor, it will not be possible to get away from problems - they will have to be solved, daily proving their significance and viability. Talk less, work more.
3. Residents of the third floor will have to learn independence, become faster, higher, stronger. Learn to overcome obstacles and you will be able to temper your will.
4. Those who live on the fourth floor will need the ability to listen and hear others, make friends, or at least just good neighborly relations. Uncommunicative or, on the contrary, overly aggressive and conflicting personalities will be forced to reconsider their communication policy.
5. If you want to improve your destiny, then, living on the fifth floor, you should not focus solely on home and family - social activities are shown. And then you will understand what the harmony of life is.
6. Living on the sixth floor, learn to get rid of different kind addictions and try to make a living on your own.
7. Seven-story buildings face a difficult path of spiritual self-development. You need to try to harmonize your own energy, which will certainly lead to an improvement in circumstances.
8. The inhabitants of the eighth floor can only be congratulated: they have no serious karmic problems. There is only one bad habit- negative thinking. Learn to take a positive view of what is happening, and then everything will be fine.
9. Nine-story buildings often have the gift of a predictor: it is important to develop it in order to comprehend the laws of the universe.
10. The tenth floor is just made for leaders. If you show passivity, unrealized energy will inevitably lead to illnesses. The only caveat: despite your authoritative position, do not turn on the tyrant - lead people behind you gently and from the heart.
11. On the eleventh floor, you need to stimulate your brain activity. You can not do science, but you must train the mind.
12. The inhabitants of the twelfth floor will be able to achieve a lot if they take control of their indefatigable temperament. Become the master of your own life and choose the right path.

If we talk about the length of the house, then it is best to choose medium entrances. Corner apartments contain the least amount of the overall energy of the house.

Thus, according to Feng Shui, a house is a living organism, the energy of which accumulates inside and dissipates on the sides. But there will be this energy with a plus or minus sign, it depends only on you.

Well, now you know which floor is better to live in a high-rise building. However, do not forget that when building new houses, all modern tendencies and building codes, which means that many of the problems we have considered in this article simply will not exist. Therefore, we advise you to rely on your own taste. Happy living!

What floor do mosquitoes fly to is one of the frequently asked questions, since you can meet them on both the 10th and 20th floors. For there is no defined maximum height. From a theoretical point of view, the insect is able to rise no higher than the third floor of the house. Gusts of wind impede further upward movement. However, these same flows can bring the pest to any height.

How high do mosquitoes fly

Small creatures on their own cannot fly above 15 m above ground level. The body weight of an ordinary mosquito is about 3 g. The slightest wind currents impede movement, make it change its trajectory. Based on natural instincts, natural needs, pests do not have to travel long distances up. They try to stick to the earth, grass, reservoirs with stagnant water.

On a note!

Insects rise to a height of up to 100 m from the surface of the earth. On the last floors of a multi-storey building, you have to put. This does not at all indicate the unique flying ability of a small creature, but indicates the presence of concomitant factors.

How abilities are multiplied

According to official information, the flight height of a mosquito in the wild is limited to 5 meters. nectar, pollen of plants, it makes no sense to rise above greenery. Females, for which they are looking for a potential victim. Insects prey on animals, birds, and, if possible, attack people. It makes no sense to climb to a height of more than 5 m.
