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

Today I measured where we need to cut our whiteboard. We need to do it in a weird way because little kids are short and our whiteboard is not so we have to trim it down a little and we also have to cut it around the window. After that, I faced the rather difficult task of screwing in our window. You wouldn’t think this is difficult but it is really hard to screw in upside-down pieces of wood.

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 of 3 complete sentences

At the beginning of this sukkah building, I was worried about making straight lines for all my cuts because previously whenever I work with Kaufman on a project he always makes me redo my lines about 4 times. I had to make straight lines in this project for both our studs and more recently the whiteboard. With all the extra practice I really feel like I’ve progressed in my ability to make straight lines.
