Sukkah Coming Down

I'm now damp. We're expecting a major storm coming through in the next two days so I brought down my sukkah. It's a good thing I didn't sleep in it last night, woke up to rain so the tarps, the ropes, the string = all wet. When it got humid last night I changed my plans and took down the decorations and brought in my laptop and cot with bedding. Good thing!

Every year we improve on the comfort of the sukkah and getting it up and down.

You can see in the pictures that the limbs and leaves were drying out and were no longer a nice, lush green. The ropes also were sagging, bringing my lovely "roof" of tree limbs lower into the sukkah. The tarps are a huge mess right now because they're wet. We'll bring the totes in and fold up the tarps in a couple of hours. Next clear day we'll spread them out on the lawn and let them dry.

I hated to bring it down but it was time, especially with the weather.

tarps coming down

getting the limbs off the webbing of rope ensured that I got wet! Then taking down said rope off the frame really cemented the fact I was going to be damp.

we'll fold up the tarps in an hour or so, pull in the step ladder and tubs and we're back to normal with the brush/limbs pulled to the side.
