Worse than nails on a chalk board...

I live right across the street from DT (Deseret Towers), which, as many of you know, they are tearing down. Since people like me live so close they are taking it down by ramming a huge cement ball from a machine to break it down piecemeal. Besides being painstakingly slow and causing earthquake-like shakings of my floor, the noise is unbearable. I cringe when I hear nails on a chalkboard, but hearing massive steel beams scrape mercilessly up against glass and wires is something close to Chinese torture. I hope my sanity hangs on just a few more days until I'm done with school.
