The wood-burning helicopter My husband has always had “ideas,” one of which was a wood-burning, self-propelled wooden helicopter. He is always reading articles about different ways to build and try new projects. The first I knew of this project was when he began bringing in large sheets of plywood. When I inquired what he was doing, he informed me of his intentions. Of course, I had a lot of questions, and he was very convinced this was a great idea. He worked diligently on this project for about a week or two. (I have blocked much of the cost from my memory.) The next thing I knew I was hearing all this hammering and tearing of wood. He had begun construction on this project only to find out this helicopter could not be removed through the basement doors. Now I understand men will be men with their big boy toys. But when you are just starting out with two small children and only one income, all you can think about is that money going down the money pit. We still have a good laugh about it just the same.
