Hang in there Jen, you can survive living with teenagers, despite wanting to play ginger bread house at times and stuff them in the oven.
And when they come back to reality in a few years, it'll be great.

It's been getting down in the 40's here at night. Very tempting to fire up the range, to be able come down to a warm kitchen and a hot tea kettle. But the days are still warm enough that it'd seem like a waste of coal having to open doors and windows to cool off the kitchen.

Last week I started having a short hour or 2 wood fire at night just to keep the morning temps in the kitchen above 60

The 116 is warming the house now since I’ve started cleaning the range and want to move it across the room as middle son suggested before he left. The Incredible Pink is good. Still had to use elbow grease and not finished. Bumper is stubborn. Will try nano silver wax as local store has nought else serious.
The Pink is terrific on my old wood floor. Marvellous. Wonderful. Better than what I was using that is good even.
This is not a diary but I’m putting in these unremarkable pictures to compare the next cleaning to in case it needs to be done again.

Sigh. My daughter just told me she and her brother are thinking of joining an Amish community because it’s a better way of living. Funny they might be softened by coal life.

So I had tried a butter wax that did nothing but the nano wax does show a protective coat shine considering how worn down the door opener was I’m pretty pleased. Next time I’ll try to get rid of the scratches before I apply it. That part is the only one I’ve done so far. Two tiny bottles and it says wear gloves.

THANK YOU!!!!! I appreciate that. Lol. Terribly exciting because I have 30-60 seconds to get the stuff off after I rub it on. Stress.
Now to do the rest of the stove and it will probably shine up better than the two ash catchers.

I would think the wax is also better at allowing easy cleanup of any food that drops onto the range while cooking.
Regular black stove polish is ok for that if the spill is wiped up quickly. But, let spilled food dry and it doesn't clean off without hot water, which then takes off the stove polish, too.

I’ve dw40ed the cap that squeaks when it spins and will paint and grease it. Maybe I’ll put a couple more feet on the chimney also.
I know I shouldn’t take pictures of really bad looking work but they shouldn’t make that red stuff red and it was very hard to handle.

Ahh yes, fall in Canada. Love the pic of the sugar maple turning in the back round Jen. You are the ambitious one, to be up on the roof. But the blue skies and fall foliage is worth the peek. Good job on the chimney.

Thanks, Joeq. Those are Bonnie’s trees. She’s gone now sadly. She grew up on the ranges too, like the next neighbour.
