Our house is heated entirely with a wood stove. While making a fire does not seem too dreadful now after four months of not making one by April I hate heating with wood and dread going outside to get wood. But I’m cheap so I suck it up and do it every year. One more weekend of chopping wood and the shed should be full.

There was a wood stove in a house some friends rented up in Prescott Valley. The room with the stove (the front room) was hot, but the rest of the house fairly cool/cold. The rest of the house being cold didn't bother me, since when I stayed over there it was because I was passed out on the couch in the front room.
