Reference shelves are comin' down

The workers are on a break right now, so the pounding in my brain has subsided. The shelves are about 1/2 gone and most of the books are off too. It's weird to have the workers right here behind us at the desk, but it's also interesting to see them in action. They really just work and talk to each other about the job. I guess in my mind I was hoping for some chain gang songs or something. Mel says the banging will actually get louder when they put in the new stuff. It seems to me it couldn't be much louder, but I guess it's the concrete drilling that will really put the noise over the edge. I can hardly wait!
