New Library construction -- Week 1, Day 1

This is it, the week that construction is due to start. The construction manager arrived bright and early to make sure all ducks were in a row. Not much has changed visually since last week though.

Before leaving, however, several trees were painted with a crimson mark. This mark is much more ominous that the one in Nathaniel Hawthorne's tale. This mark means that these trees will not be part of the final landscaping.
