Granite Tile Installation = Dream House?

by: Eeyan Quinabo

There was once a time when building a house is all about how much the budget is and what kind of house it is. No other concerns. No other thing matters except for the house to be built and as soon as possible.

But now, from roofing to flooring to wall designs, to paint and window tinting, to granite tile installation and granite fabricator installation, from stone floor installation to granite countertop installation. I mean I can't even believe such terms exist. But like everything else around all of us, change happens and words and vocabulary, along with hairstyles, clothing and the weather is no exception to the rule. Nobody escapes the only permanent thing on earth and that is change.

When I was still a young girl, I told myself that I want my own house to be near the beach or to have its very own garden leading to an overlooking cliff. I want a sunroof for the master's bedroom, I want a solarium and a lot of animals that my children can take care of and plants and trees that would dot my environment. I want my own patch of paradise on earth.

Now that I am very close to having my very own dream house, it makes me smile that I am being asked whether I want to use this over that, like for example tiles over concrete or no tiles, and other things that do not matter way back. I even ask for assistance and suggestions though for the most part of it, I try my very best to have my very own ideas.

At times, there are things though that I don’t agree on with the people who suggest things to me. Take for example a granite fabricator California prides itself of is somebody that does not even pass my criteria. So it takes more time. Furthermore, just like everybody, there are so many different perceptions and factors that could affect our decisions that is why I don’t I am not the ideal client. I am very idealistic, and I insist on what I really want.

When I was a child, my only goal is to have my own house, I even had this belief that even if it’s going to be a small one, what matters is that I own it and the people inside it love me. I never cared about the size or even the rooms inside the house, as long as I own it and I’m with the persons I love, that’s what matters.

Now that I am in my early twenties and for the first time, having my own house built, I realized that, dreams have a way of changing, not for the good but for the better. The dream house I had when I was a child still matters, I still can live on that house. But the thing is, I cannot live in it with my future family. So now, I am planning on a ten-roomed house. For the big family I am going to have someday, I think that is
