And it all depends on how many GENERATIONS or = levels a person wants to figure. As in the cost of heating with wood, If a person HAD to buy a NEW truck = to haul the wood. And it was used only for haulling wood. Then the total = price of the truck should/could be charged against the cost of heating. Also, if you worked at a job that paid you $500/day,,, and you took the = day off to go swimming or working with COB ,it would cost you $500 to get all wet...( or dirty = and tired ) With that said, If you're ( after work ) going to sit in front of the tv = anyway, you could be doing something that you can have to show for the = time spent. And then there is the aspect of the price of land. And should a person = charge it to the cost of the building? Although I have heard of building = Castles in the air, I have never seen one. And then, even if you get something for free, does that mean it has no = value? So, that is where all the contentions lie... It does depend on how a = person wants to set the value of something. If you are not putting off a = money making job, that is, if no one is willing to pay you to do = something else. Then your labor and time is free. Or is it? There are many ways to look at something, and most people look at it the = way they want to.
