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.

Knock on wood

Keith, Ronnie, Craig and my father did a lot of knocking on wood this weekend. They managed to get the I joists installed, as well as 2/3 of the subfloor Saturday and Sunday. Keith and my dad will finish it tomorrow and then they will move on to framing the walls. My father-in-law is also coming down tomorrow to deliver additional tools and build the basement stairs. The roof trusses will be delivered this week as well. Which means that by this time next Sunday, it really will take on the shape of a house. You can also see in the slideshow this week the basement slab which was poured this past week. The kids enjoyed running around in their new basement. Speaking of kids, not many pictures of them this week except for them playing dress-up with the winter clothes. Hopefully they will still think it is that much fun to wear them come February!
