    The Onancock Chronicles the Eastern shore

    We had a fun time at the parade. Definitely small town and that's why we moved here. Everyone had a great time.

    Heat pump. It's a very charming but old house (1850's) that is very drafty and with a wind like today just sucks the warmth right out. It has toughened us up for sure. Next week looks like real nice weather.

    Went to our first rocket launch from Wallops Isl. Was pretty cool. Found a spot about a mile away across the bay to watch.

    I heard it and felt it. Kinda like Farmingdale on Fridays and Sundays in the summer when the rich folk would be taking the choppers out to the Hampton's (we were on a flight path). I won't miss that noise for sure.

    A new tight house with a conditioned crawl space plus the heat pumps will very very nice. Add in the wood stove and we should be toasty. This is a picture of the Quadra Fire Discovery I we're getting. It's not big but rated for 800-2100 sq ft.

    My oil company estimated I used 2 gallons a day to heat the Farmingdale house in December. This was after we moved out and the thermostat set at 60o (the wood stove was obviously not in use).

    I used about 300 gallons of oil per year for my Cape in Farmingdale. Most of that was for hot water or when the stove needed a little help.

    The end of May. Can't wait to be in a nice new house. Will be first time with central air and of course I'll have a wood stove for the chilly months.

    Fortunately it's out of the way. I've taken 2 weeks off during the holidays to recover from all the uhaul trips between NY and VA over the past two months. The cutting starts next week and while it's hard work cutting and splitting (by hand) it's my kind of therapy. Happy New Year!

    My land clearing guy left me two dozen oak trees from the lot I had cleared. It surprised me how big they looked once they were down. I'll be busy this winter.
