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.

Garage doors-check, porch celling-check, siding and trim...in progress

Well, we now have spiffy garage doors where we used to have plywood! That sure does make life easier for my husband. He can now open them up with a handle, rather than screwing and unscrewing the panels when he needs to get in the garage. As you will see in the slideshow, Andrew would also like to open them-or at least hang on the hardware for awhile. In addition to the drywall that was finished this week, Keith and Craig also got the screened-in porch celling up. I think it looks great and I look forward to many afternoons lounging on my chair staring at that celling before I take a nap! :)

They also worked on putting-up more siding, trim, and freize board(and yes, "freize" is actually spelled that way). The siding and trim is taking more time than Keith is used to since vinyl goes up so quickly. That being said, we like the way the finished product is turning out. For those of you who are wondering why there are white spots on parts of the lap siding-do not fear. It is just the cement residue dust and it will be washed-off when this is all installed.
