Oh yes! We've found that most people who heat with wood share a profound philosophy. They understand a lot about putting steady work into something....so that we can benefit later! I know this sounds a bit odd to most people, but the thermostat on the wall represents something potentially evil to me....like easy credit and the promise of the American Dream....not necessarily bad by itself, but definitely taking advantage of predictable human nature in a bad way.

Here's our new pride and joy: our woodshed! Built entirely of scrap lumber left over from building the cabin and logs from our property. (Note the wood pile behind it underneath the blue tarp - those are all over the property. Some might find them unattractive, but to me they represent years of heat! (Without having to put out cash or pay the government taxes for the purchase - even better).
