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.

The house is finished! We are moving in next week.

Belated April Fools :)

We may not be done just yet, but we are still making lots of progress. The week before last, we got all the doors in and Keith boarded-up the garage so that the house is completely secure. Now that the electrical and plumbing are finished on the main floor, we needed to ensure that people didn't have easy access to items that are easily stolen and resold. Keith also mounted a camera on the side of the house for a little extra security. I like how the camaflodge looks against the housewrap! Good thing that we are not trying to actually hide it from anyone.

Last week Keith also framed-up the garage doors, and we picked out which ones we would be using. This past week the plumbing and electrial was finished on the main floor and we passed both of the inspections. Keith worked on sealing the roof valleys and framing the stairwells over the weekend. He also finished parge coat for foundation and the truss bracing. Both of those items were to finish any outstanding work we need to have done before our rough-in framing inspection this week.
