Due to various issues, this is the first year in about two decades when the winter wood supply wasn't in the shed, cured and dry. Nope. My wood is in the shed (thanks to my daughter, who spent a gruelling two weeks splitting and wheelbarrowing and stacking with me in August), but it is either uncured but dry, or cured but soaking wet, or both.
So. The house is so cold that my toes and fingertips hurt. Solution? Bring some cured-but-wet wood into the house and store it in the stove oven until dry. And curtain off all areas that don't already have a doorway. The stairway gets the first curtain, which I made by painting a large piece of canvas with acrylics.
