Anyone ever visit the Glass House on Kootenay Lake? Not as fancy as some of these, but still cool to visit. A house made out of glass bottles.

From website: This unusual roadside attraction was built from over half a million discarded embalming fluid bottles

  Hmmm...what kind of fluids?

  (Interesting place, Van - I'll have to look out for it if I'm there.)

Hey !  That glass house is kinda neat looking.  It would likely be well preserved.

  I love that earth house JJ.

Oh dear Lise.  I haven't had any problem that way at all.  Hmmmm.  Anyone else having a problem with this?

Hey Michel.  Thanks for the explanation of backhouse.  I have never heard that term before.  We always called it an outhouse.....but backhouse tells the story too.
