Oh! :-(

Have you been down to the construction site and the main gate opposite Joe Mercer Way to see if there is any activity around the steel frame? If the lift is happening today, there should be lots of visible activity going on.

Surely the lift won’t be tomorrow as rain and snow is forecast from tonight into tomorrow.

My whole YouTube career started with a similar story. 3 well known YouTube droners sat at Anfield one day waiting for a big lift to happen and in the end admitted defeat and went home.
I turned up at 6.30am the following day just as they started the lift and I went from getting a few hundred views of a video to 30k views overnight.

You still got a link to that video by any chance? While you kill some time while the builders all drink their tea and facetime their union reps.

Starting to think your got-lucky on-site source might have been a rag? ;)

Don’t even go there.

I’m starting to feel bad about no lift yet.

Maybe I should have stayed quiet and not said anything?

You can only go off what people say to you. After watching what was going on for quiet a while, the person I spoke to who was in charge, seemed genuine and honest about what he told me.

In a worst case scenario all I can do is to apologise to CP Overview and SS Skies for wasting their time, if the lift doesn’t happen today. Or throw myself off one of the towers during the night.

He doesn't need to mate, he can see them from the sky!

I am only messing mate. No it was a great bit of chat to ask and get told about, maybe the plans have changed, or maybe a 6.30 start just involves that much preparation and coordinating. Or they could be waiting for the temperature to rise by as little as 2 degrees. Not for the workers btw, but the equipment and connections.
 
Very little activity around it at all, the other cranes are quite active but that new one hasn’t moved at all

You and others know how it is in the construction industry.(not making excuses for the lift not happening yet) There are numerous things that can set things back.(including duff information)

I’m guessing. It’s 10am. If the lift doesn’t start soon or before midday, will it happen?

It looks like an apology is incoming to you from me. :-(

Are you going to stay a bit longer, or are you going to call it a day?

What's the temperature?

The tempature is only going to drop during the day as cold weather comes down from the North, and rain comes in from the west, leading to significant snow fall tomorrow. I’m assuming when that happens there won’t be a lift until the weather improves later in in the week?

Has anyone estimated how long the lift will take and then how long to fix it securely? If the weathers turning, perhaps they've knocked it back for a few days?
