At least I have a while to figure out an alternative (or, as you suggest, stock up).Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-47503926569770820032009-01-19T09:28:00.000-05:002009-01-19T09:28:00.000-05:00Don't forget to stock up on those 100 watt incande...Don't forget to stock up on those 100 watt incandescent light bulbs. Congress in their great wisdom has mandated that they no longer be produced after 2012. By 2014 you won't be able to buy incandescents between 40 and 100 watts.<BR/><BR/>Not to say that compact flourescents aren't a good idea (I have them in all the high-use areas of our home), but they won't do much for keeping pipes warm...<BR/><BR/>Wesley in VAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-71652460259010399782009-01-17T07:31:00.000-05:002009-01-17T07:31:00.000-05:00We rarely get snow on Ocracoke, but have had signi...We rarely get snow on Ocracoke, but have had significant snowfall in the last seven years. Check out these two pages from 2002 & 2003:<BR/><BR/>http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news010402.htm<BR/><BR/>http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news012303.htm<BR/><BR/>Ocracoke Preservation Society has information about houses in the historic district. On your next visit ask them to let you use their library. Diabando was built by my Uncle Marvin & Aunt Leevella Howard, and is still in the family. Lighthouse neighbor was the home of Floyd and Rita Styron, but I'm not sure who owns it now.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-685490053084891852009-01-16T21:20:00.000-05:002009-01-16T21:20:00.000-05:00How often do you have snow on Ocracoke.

I am mostly interested in the house across from Village Craftsman, The Diabando, and the one beside the Lighthouse, The Lighthouse Neighbor. I have a book I bought awhile back from the Village Craftsman, The Walking Tour Of Ocracoke, but I don't think it mentioned these two houses.Thanks. Pam from Goochland, Va.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
