Sukkah Day 15

1. What did you do today?  Today I helped move the fourth wall over to the final sukkah assembling spot. I also carried a couple pieces of plywood over to our sukkah. And the last thing I did today was that I helped put up 3 out of 4 walls today.

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?    Initially, I was scared to put up the walls. I was also scared to attach the walls because I thought the walls would fall. I was also scared to move the 4th wall because it was really heavy and I thought we were going to drop it.
3. Give a step by step account of what you have done so far to get our Sukkah up to where it is today.  

  1. We wrote out a plan
  2. We modeled our plan
  3. We went and we bought the wood
  4. We combined two studs of each length (8,10,12,16) and screwed them together
  5. We put carriage  to keep our studs together
  6. We started to work outside with making our frame complete
  7. once we finished the frame we had to cut our top plate at a ten-degree angle
  8. We screwed our studs into our frame and we nailed our studs into our frame
  9. once we finished our wall we had to bring our wall over to our final assembling spot
  10. We put 2×4 to support our walls so we could attach them so they won’t fall
  11. We brought over a bunch of plywood
  12. We connected two of our walls with carriage bolts and nuts and washers

 

In this picture, a bunch of my class and I are bringing over studs to go and support our wall so it would stay up.

In this picture, I am putting nuts and washers onto our first three carriage bolts so it would help keep the carriage bolts steady inside our walls so they don’t fall.

In this picture, we were putting the third wall up so then we could use the studs to support the weight of the walls to keep it up until we got all of the walls for sukkah up and connected with some more carriage bolts.
