Sukkah

These are some pictures of the construction of our sukkah.  I didn't remember to take pictures until the frame was already built, but suffice it to say that there was a lot of drilling and forcing of bolts into place.

Update: We've now used the sukkah for three years.  I finally put up just a couple more pictures (since we had better weather) from Year 2.

I forgot to take pictures before this. Here, Ben, Martha, and Jon get the frame settled.

Here I am working on tying the bamboo poles on for the roof.

Ben and Kim help hold the canvas while I'm on the other side tying it on.

Yep, there I am.

Ben, Martha, and Kim work on the side walls.

This is as much as we did the first day -- pretty good, huh?

And the same thing from above. The roof still needs more covering and we haven't decorated, but this is pretty much it.

We have a sukkah down!! After over two days without a problem, the high wind advisory was too much for the sukkah to handle.

We folded up the pieces and put them aside.

Behold! Several days later we put the sukkah back up and finished it.
