    First, we need to understand the sun and how this has such a huge impact on how a house or apartment should be oriented to achieve a quality living space. For Sydneysiders living in this part of the world, our sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Add to this the knowledge that the sun tilts toward the north in winter, sitting lower in the sky, and moves high overhead in summer, and you soon understand that a northerly aspect will give you direct sun in winter and overhead sun in summer, ideal for year-round all-day sun.

Relocating an elderly parent is a challenging task that often encounters resistance.
