In the spring of 1980, at the age of 66, he began work on the project on the grounds of his house on Prince Edward Island. More than 12,000 recycled glass bottles are cleverly linked together to form a 6-gable house measuring 4x6m. The house opened to visitors in 1981. Impressed with the unique architecture, visitors urged Mr. Arsenault to build more buildings out of glass bottles. By 1983, he had completed a tavern made of 8,000 glass bottles and a prayer hall made of 10,000 glass bottles.
