Can you see the progress?

Appearances indicate that workers are making great progress on the library project. Exterior walls keep rising - at this point the second floor walls are almost complete on the southeast corner of the building. And, they have begun some work on the inside of the existing building. Yesterday they took out another exterior window. This is an amazing feat to watch as they "pop" out the old window (8 feet wide by nearly 5 feet high) and replace it with a plywood barrier. No broken glass, no mess, but a bit heart-stopping. They also began building a barrier wall on the inside of the second floor. This will protect library users as the workers remove cement blocks to create the openings for the storage room and tutoring center. Sadly, the wall will block our "bird's eye view" of the construction.
