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.

A little snow, and a lot of progress!

Well, as you can see in the slideshow this week, we got a little snow. Enough to make everything look pretty...everything except a new roof! Luckily, the weather was decent (30's, no snow, rain or wind), which greatly improved the overall working conditions from last weekend. They finished sheathing the porch, and got all the sub-facia up on Saturday. On Sunday, they were able to get up facia and the shingles on the porch. Keith ran out of daylight hours to take the pictures with the shingles, but I hope to have more pictures mid-week when Keith's dad and brothers come down to visit and help out. I don't think I have ever been more interested in shingles on a roof in my life-I guess building a home will do that to you.

In addition to house pictures, I also included a picture of the porta-john we purchased from Ebay a couple weeks ago. Fancy, I know, and just in time for the holidays!
