Did anyone capture the big push ? ;-)
Bare plasterboard ???surely that must have been the agreed ( even if piss poor ) or they ran out of cash before the tape and joint was done ??Hopefully the finish to the north stand expansion is better than that of the south stand expansion.

The blue lights on the quad pods fell off other than that it went well once it got goingDid anyone capture the big push ? ;-)
That's what Sisk said, they needed the gap to lift the large beams etcYou can see in the video they have started the steel for the connection between the office block and atand tower. The rods are on both towers but still propped. So I will continue to go along with they needed the space for the long elements at that side.
Btw, pointed them out before but clearer to see now that most of the facade is on. Those missing panels you were discussing in the video, on the inside of the claw to the city square, they are left blank because that is where the steel trusses for the etfe roof will connect. Fairly regular and you can see it corresponding to similar locations on the commercial buildings.That's what Sisk said, they needed the gap to lift the large beams etc
As per coatigans reply it appears it’s part of the link from the shop/ office to the west towerI took this photo of a massive beam fabrication on Sunday but it was also shown on the drone flights so I didn't share it. On the very latest drone flights it's gone but I can't for the life of me figure out where it's been fitted, can anyone else?

Still can’t get my head around an above ground sprinkler tank ?? There are a plethora of fibreglass preformed underground sprinkler tanks on the market , which apart (I assume) a small above ground pump/ control panel would take up little space ???Btw, pointed them out before but clearer to see now that most of the facade is on.

Also that small structure at the entrance is indeed the sprinkler tank room, as bluesmith pointed out. It is shown in the approved drawings, albeit only noted in one place as far as I have seen.
Early morning look around from me today
