Finally getting to sleep in on Sunday mornings, not having to get up to fill the stove early when the temperature was -30. No more carrying wood from the pile outside to the pile inside. No more cutting, splitting, and stacking 7 cord in the front yard. I'd hate to think about adding MAKING 7 chord of these bricks!

I had to look to make sure this wasn't me posting.
I hated having to keep the wood pile full and the stove going. For a few years, I had a neighbor that would go over and start my stove an hour or so before I came home so the house would be warm for me. I use to set my alarm to wake me up, so I could reload the stove in the middle of the night, so it would be warm in the morning.
I still come home at night and wake in the morning thankful for electric heat, now.
