Sukkot weather

It's been rainy all week here, which made putting the sukkah up (holiday begins tonight) challenging. I briefly considered doing it last night after Shabbat, but I didn't want to bother the neighbors with late-ish noise from assembling the metal frame. I figured if it was still raining this afternoon I'd do it then anyway. I won't melt.

The rain stopped today around 2:30. Huzzah. I've got assembly down to an hour, which is why I could try to wait out the weather. (I had previously hauled all the parts out of the garage onto the patio.)

While the lattice walls are attractive, I'm starting to think that cloth walls would be easier to manage. I can probably find attractive cloth. (Though I'd have to, *gasp*, sew.)

Chag sameach to those who celebrate.
