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.

Geothermal and Paint-what could be better?

It was a very exciting weekend at Green Glass Road. To start off, Buddy (our HVAC man) placed the ground source heat pump, attached the duct work, and installed the condensate pump. Meanwhile, Keith installed the control circuit for the ground loop pump, the thermostat, the filtered intake registers, and began installation of the PVC pipe to connect the pump center to the ground loop and heat pump. This week David (our electrician) will come to do some work and Keith will finish up with the PVC pipe. What this all means is that we are very close to having air/heat in the house. Very exciting since June has been a pretty warm (and humid) month and I am sure there is even more to come in July and August!

Keith, Ronnie and Craig also did a lot of painting this weekend. Starting with the ceilings and closets and then moving on to the colors yesterday. While I am very excited about the geothermal, I have to admit I was almost equally exctied to see the colors on the walls yesterday. While my mom jokingly chides my color palate for being "too boring", I am happy that the subtle colors blend well together. Neither me, or my husband are huge risk takers (or painters) so something I can live with for 20 years or so is right up my alley! The colors we used in the house were from Valspar. The names of each should appear in the slideshow if you click on the picture. Not surprisingly, the purple walls belong to Julia :)

Speaking of my girly, girl, she had a great weekend catching frogs and playing with them. Over the weekend she must have touched at least eight frogs at her Grandma and Grandpa's house and then one more at our house yesterday. Apparently, she must think that if she holds enough frogs she will turn into a princess too!
