Today my group had to paint our plywood black. We are doing this so we can have a base color to spray paint vibrant colors onto.
We also needed to create corner stability wood and that was my job :3
This is one of the corners that I put it up. This looks like one of the 10 ft wall ones. those were really high!
Include AT LEAST 3 photos from Today. Make sure each photo has a CAPTION.
1. Sukkot represents impermanence (something that should not be permanent). Explain if you believe or disagree that our Sukkah, which is safely standing on its own, is violating that.
I think that it is not violating that because we put the sukkah up and it is very very stable.
2. Describe how this Sukkah project has changed your perspective (how has it changed, what has it changed about, has it changed for the better/worst).
I think it has changed my perspective because of the wood working. This has honestly been the biggest woodworking project I have ever done before! I was familiar with some screws and nails but some things were newly introduced to me such as Carriage bolts.
3. Explain how you have used your body thus far to build this Sukkah.
I have used my body by hammering nails, screwing in screws and cutting with the saw. I have also used a lot of strength to lift the walls, walk them over to a place, and put them up in a place.
4. How do you plan on getting guests into the Sukkah?
I plan on having the classes from lower school finding times to come in as it is their responsibility to get their kids into our sukkah. As for outside guests, I think we should decorate the sukkah in a way that makes it welcoming so when parents drop off their 7ht grader at school they can think that sukkah looks nice I wonder if they would let me go in it?
5. What are some activities you wish to do in the Sukkah?
I plan to do A LOT of celebrating. I am definitely not the only one when it comes to saying how long this project has been and honestly it’s also been very hard.
