Yup ... could be worse though ... my vet and one of his assistants have 8 and 11 cats respectively. Incidentally I have since asked my wife to stop looking at the Facebook posts from shelters who have high kill rates....
When we finished our two and a half car attached garage into my wife's art studio, I built an insulated wall and left most of the "half car" portion as a cold storage wood room. I installed an insulated door between the studio and that room and can stack just over 3 cords in there.
I put in French doors into the studio from the outside. The access door to the wood room is right inside those exterior doors.
It makes it really convenient to load up a winters worth of wood in the fall. It also makes it really convenient to get the wood all winter long.

I am jealous! I would like to do something like you have done, one day. I really don't like letting all the warm air out of the house as I go in and out to bring in the wood, a box at a time (banana boxes work great, by the way). Seems counterproductive.
I will be adding a makeshift vestibule to half of the front porch this year to keep the wind out as we go in and out for loads. I am thinking about hanging shower curtains with extra weight at the bottoms. The neighbors probably won't like it much, but perhaps it'll temporarily distract them from all the blue tarps around that cover the stacks.
