The story behind the name

I have always loved sea glass because of the beautiful green, blue and brown hues that are made even more breathtaking when they are tossed in the water. I am also drawn to pretty glass bottles, especially those with unique shapes, textures or stories. When we purchased our land, it had lot of garbage where our driveway now sits. Included in this garbage were lots of glass bottles in all different shapes, sizes and colors. As unappealing as this may sound, there have been many beautiful and unique glass bottles found at the property. While we obviously do not want to drive on a green glass road, the road itself was only made possible after lots of green glass was recovered. So therin lies the story behind the name of the Adventures at Green Glass Road.

Another block in the wall

The blocklayers finished all the work for the screened-in porch, parge coating and the crawlspace piers. They also finished up all the miscellaneous items that needed work. Keith and Ron worked on getting the basement prepped for the slab pour, finished putting on the foundation coating, and laying the drain tile. It was a very productive weekend and we hope this week will be just as productive with three inspections (backfill, draintile and basement slab). Keith and I also want to thank Ken Southard for all his help last weekend. It was a huge help for Keith to have another person on site while he was finishing-up the basement slab grade and gravel work.

In this week's slideshow I have started to label the footprint so that everyone can get a general sense of what you are looking at and how it is reflected on the house plans.

As always, while my husband was hard as work, I was just playing around with the kiddos :) First a birthday party on Saturday with some of Julia and Andrew's friends from school. After naps, we had a great visit with my friend Dell, and her adorable kiddos Evangeline and Wyatt. On Sunday we were just as busy with a great fall expedition to Serenity Farms. The farm is located right over the bridge from where we will be moving, so I am sure that we will go back many times in the future. They had a great hayride, petting farm, pumpkin patch, and a very child friendly Casper's Castle. The bonus was the pink barn they had on site...perfect for a four-year old girl! It wiped them both out, as you can see from the carseat photos on the way home.
