Sukkah Day 16

1. What did you do today (describe the process of what you accomplished)? – minimum 3 complete sentences\

Today I measured the length of some wood for supports. I cut the wood at an angle with the miter saw. Then I checked to see if it was the right angles.

2. What is one thing you have done so far you were initially scared/worried about, but now feel more confident in after all this practice? – minimum 3 complete sentences

I was worried about cutting wood at angles. because I felt it wasn’t as foolproof as cutting it at a ninety degree angle. But now that I have done it more often I can realize that it is as good at cutting it at a ninety degree angle.
