We later purchased wooden sections that required two people to assemble, but only one to dissemble. One year a man working on the neighbors' house was so shocked that a woman was taking apart a succa (modular wooden wall sections held together with screws) that he stopped his work and insisted on finishing the job. I tried to tell him that I was perfectly capable of doing it and that I'd done it before, but he wasn't interested in listening. He seemed to be insulted that I was refusing his assistance, so I let him do it.<br />I agree that calendar pictures make great decorations.
