Aravot for Hoshannah Rabbah in place of ordinary ones?
See Kitzur Shulchan Aruch סימן קלח - דיני הושענא רבא
מִנְהַג נְבִיאִים, שֶׁכָּל אֶחָד יִטּוֹל בְּיוֹם זֶה עֲרָבָה מְיֻחֶדֶת, מִלְּבַד הָעֲרָבָה שֶׁבַּלוּלָב.
So you shouldn't be using the same …

Washing for bread before Kiddush. Convenient for sukkos?
Take a look at OC 271 (12) MB{58} where the משנה ברורה (quoting the מ"א) states that the entire discussion of when to wash refers to the person making Kiddush.
The rest of the family (and guests) can …

A metal frame above a sukkah
The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch in 134:4 writes that it's best not to rest the Schach on something that could become impure - like a wooden ladder or tools (with long handles).
However, if done, the Sukka …

Halachik source for saying ushpizin
The קיצור ש''ע ילקוט יוסף in דיני ישיבה בסוכה בשאר ימות החג says it's customary to do so:
יג נכון להביא כסא מפואר לכבוד האושפיזין, מעין דוגמא למה שמביאים בעת המילה כסא לכבוד אליהו הנביא זכור לטוב, …

is it ok to use the walls of the sukka as a hanger
It would seem from the last Remo in סימן תרלח - סכה ונויה אסורין כל שבעה that it's not a problem.
Preferably you should make a condition - verbally, before that Chag begins - that the hanger is not p …

Should you not rejoice with your spouse also?
Your observation - of the missing wife in the verse - is the basis for the halacha that one may not get married during Chag.
See the Torah Temima and the Rabeinu Bachyeh on the verse that mention this …

Why not start BaHaB on Iyar / Marcheshvan 3?
The לוח דבר בעיתו explains (regarding Rosh Chodesh Iyar 5769) that the reason we don't announce בה"ב on Rosh Chodesh is that:
אין מברכים את המתענים בה"ב בחדש ניסן או בשבת ר"ח, השבת הקרובה, כמו שנא …

Can I use a Lulav or Esrog from last year?
My great grandfather (in S. Germany) used to save his Lulav from year to year in his coat closet.
He would remove the outer leaves and the insides were apparently still fresh enough to be used.
For t …

May one eat outside of the sukkah during chol hamoed if there isn't a sukkah nearby where on...
It would seem from the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (135:22) that they would need to eat in the Sukka.
הַיוֹשְׁבִים בַּחֲנוּת, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהֵם דָּרִים חוּץ לָעִיר וְהַחֲנוּת הִיא בָּעִיר וּרְגִילִין …

Does one need a sukkah to eat bread/mezonot at work
I think I answered your first question here already - that a Sukka is still required for meals, but not snacks.
As to your second question if one is actually exempt, is there still merit in avoiding …

How could they stone with esrogim without a court case?
It's not a capital offense to perform a service in the temple incorrectly. So you don't have to assume that he was killed.
That said, the Mishna in Sanhedrin פרק ט - משנה ו mentions that if a Cohen p …

Shehecheyanu on Lulav during Kiddush on Sukkot night?
Firstly, if you don't have the intent to exempt the Arba Minim with the Shehecheyanu during Kiddush then there's nothing to discuss. You would have to say Shehecheyanu the next day before shaking th …
