Measure your main door from outside your house using a chinese compass (Luo Pan) or you can based on your compass apps from your phone, though accuracy may differ due to frequency. Based on the arrow of where it show, in San He Feng Shui that is considered the "Sitting" of your house where your house seated on.

When your house is sitting in any of these three directions, it is strongly advisable not to renovate your house (even drilling into the wall is considered activation of the energy). If you have no choice but have to start renovation, you would at least have to select a good auspicious date (not through Tong Shu as that is considered a beginner level of date selection) to begin the renovation, but it is advisable not to move in for one year as not to be affected by the negative energy.
