Dream House

I know someone who is building her dream house. It has 3 floors, a balcony overlooking a golf course and a swimming pool. However this person, who is currently living in another house which most people would consider a dream house says she prefers her current house. Unfortunately she can’t stay there anymore because her husband has sold it! She isn’t really looking forward to moving because of the prospect of maintaining the house. Just thinking about it gives her a headache.

I think she should have central air conditioning. I hear that the level of noise for central air conditioning is less. The air is also pulled through sophisticated filters. The filtered air is then routed to the rest of the house through return-air ducts. I can’t imagine having to maintain so many air conditioning units. A central one would be better for her.

She showed me a plan of her house the other day. It has a walk in wardrobe, his and hers sinks, a room with balcony for her husband and her as well as for her daughter. It is indeed a house anyone would dream about. However, it is true. Maintaining it would be a headache indeed. That was what I felt when I moved from my 1100 square feet apartment to a landed property. Sometimes I wish I was back in my apartment. I could clean it in10 minutes flat. :)

    Hi MG,

    Your title captures the essence of “materialism” in our “so-called developed and supposedly civilized” society.

    “Dream House” it will be BUT one should strive to have a Dream Home instead. If it becomes a dream home ultimately, that will be good but if it remains just a dream house, then … .

    A dream house without “life” is also just a dream house. A dream home is one that is full of life, joy and happiness plus sadness should be one that everyone should look for in life ;P

    Hello Greg. You are soooo right! :)
