As you may remember, the Adams' family was rocked when the Glass Studio was leveled by a terrible fire last year. Since then, my father in law and Husband have decided to rebuild.
Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management required that the ashes be tested for lead before they could be hauled to a landfill. The tests came back over the limit, so they had to make arrangements to have the ashes hauled to Birmingham for disposal. In the mean time, Charles had some temporary buildings brought in so that they could continue working and replacing the inventory that was lost in the fire.
Over three months (and ridiculous amounts of red tape) later, the site was cleared and rebuilding could begin. For those of you that know Charles, patience is not his strong point, and he was rather anxious to see the progress start.
At long last plans were drawn, construction teams were lined up, and ground was breaking!

There is a new General Contractor on duty and she runs a tight ship!
A month later, we have a foundation, walls, and a roof!

The new Glass Studio will have a show room and candy shop upstairs with the storage, work space, and loading dock downstairs. While there may be less square footage in this new building, there is more available work space and will actually be more 'user friendly.'
Can't wait for you all to come check out the finished product! I'll keep you posted on the progress here, but you can also follow us on Facebook.
