North Stand Construction Discussion

It’s going to get colder tonight onwards. But clear and sunny on Tuesday and Wednesday. The rest of the week is rain and sleet.

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

Can’t see they would have such an expensive piece of kit on site,just sitting there !!

Right!

If the lift doesn’t start today, I’ll go down on Tuesday and Wednesday for a few hours each day as I’m off work all week.

If CP Overview and SS Skies PM their mobile numbers, I’ll ring you both if I see the lift starting. That’s the least I can do to make up for today.

Quite a few more stood around it now so might be happening yet.
It’s 2 degrees here

Fingers crossed.

I’ve got to nip out for a couple of hours. I’ll keep on checking back.

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?

That's why I was trying to hint, without risking CP missing it, that things might not happen for the first couple hours. Been to a few '6.30 starts' where things don't really kick in till the back of 8, it is sometimes more to get everyone focused and prepped. Particularly in the winter pre daylight.

But then I also didn't of want to be the one that risks CP rocking up at 9am and the thing being a third of the way up in the air!

Think today is a sensible day and looks like they are prepping for it. All depends on how they think they can restrain it in the air if they can't connect it all in the time they have. I guess.

That's admirable of you, but I honestly wouldn't beat yourself up over it.

Even without you speaking to the guy, based on the photos and latest drone footage, today would have seemed an obvious bet and guess. Based on the crane being prepped, strapped and the weather etc.

Forgive me but how do you get footage on a tv in a pub in Australia ??

This is as busy as it’s been (picture of ssskies controller screeen)

While on it, that at least shows the scale of the damn thing, relative to the people around it.
