Part 1, Chapter 6 Summary

Allison goes into town and buys supplies so she can move the huge stove into the greenhouse. She stops by Will's auto dealership and picks up four creepers. She then returns to her greenhouse and contemplates how she will move the stove. She decides that it is actually too heavy to move in the way that Will had suggested, thus making the creepers she has obtained seemingly irrelevant. Instead, Allison decides to disassemble the stove and move it piecemeal into the greenhouse where she will reassemble it. She considers the stove in great detail and then cleans it and polishes some of the fixtures. She then begins to disassemble the stove and to haul the pieces - each still very heavy - into the greenhouse.
