Mnemonic

You need to go up on the roof and slide down seven times to make this your house. A house isn't a home until you've slid down it exactly seven times, you know.

Imagine sliding down your house from the roof all the way down to the ground. I hope you aren't afraid of heights, because you have to do this six more times.

Mnemonic

If you try to slide down your new house and you land on a tack (たく), that means the house has rejected you. It isn't your home now. You need to leave and find a new home.

As you slide, you close your eyes and really hope you don't end up with a tack in your butt and no home to sleep in tonight.
