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.

We have power!

If we had nothing else in the blog this week, THAT would be noteworthy in and of itself. The power company came out (and we paid them) eight weeks ago. Our electrician thought it would be a week or two. So it was great to finally see the pole in this week and know that Keith can stop lugging the generator back and forth every weekend to the house. We also passed our wall check inspection on Tuesday. This is great news, as it went even more smoothly than we had expected.

Keith spent most of Saturday prepping for the insulation guys to come in this week. We stopped by after Julia's swim class for a quick lunch break and for the kids to do some housekeeping. As you can see from the pictures, they are quite enthuastic about using the hand broom and dustpan. Check back in five years for an updated progress report on whether that is still one of their favorite past time activities!

Sunday Keith and Ronnie got the plywood up in the front and back porches. They also put in the subflooring in the bathrooms and laundry room. We have siding, well, drywall and garage doors all being installed in the next couple of weeks. So stay tuned for lots of progress pictures to come in April!
