Last week, construction crews "popped out" the windows that used to give us a view of the greenhouse space on the first floor. They sawed around the window frame to loosen the window. Then, two strong workers took the window out. This happened VERY FAST. 
After that, a masonry crew laid cement block in each of the openings. Using block and grout from the same company that supplied it in 1983, the match with the older block is pretty close. It looks great, but it does mean that we no longer have any natural light coming in the south wall of the building. This is only temporary, however, as there will be light coming in through windows in the study area being built in the former greenhouse space. We just cannot see this yet.
Friday, March 12, the library closed early (again) because the electrical crews had to relocate power and heating conduit from the first floor office area. This was necessary so that the roof to that space (southwest corner of the building) can be removed. It should come off this week and then crews will place structural steel for the second floor. Watch for these changes.Susan

I can visualize a beautiful library from your photos. It's good that you guys got great and snappy contractors. Haha. Yes, it's important to have a source of natural day light. Good job in picking glass windows! I'd love to see the library once everything's done.
