Mini-Construction update

Our sukkah is finally up. We use an "EZ-Lock" sukkah - a frame of square metal rods that are designed to lock together with no more than the persuasion of a rubber mallet, with a nylon tent that wraps around the four sides, and three wooden beams (we gave one away, so we only have two) that support the bamboo mat used as s'chach. It takes about 45-60 minutes and two people to put up the whole 6x8 structure, and it holds a rectangular table, four chairs and a little tv table. jonbaker will decorate it tomorrow, but we are basically done with holiday prep.
