The fire went out in our woodstove toward morning. My husband wanted the ashes to cool so he could take them outside more easily, so we left it alone 'til we got home from a day of appointments and errands, around 5:30 p.m. It is a bit brisk in the house, but not nearly as cold as in your story!
Oh I remember those woodstove days when we had to let the ashes cool! That once upon a time when we have nothing but a wood stove was horrible LOL I don't miss those days at all. Have a wonderful weekend.

We do have electric wall heaters, too, but not all of them work, and they aren't very efficient. So we rarely use them.
