I wonder how much the current conditions will be slowing things down
I think it's a cross shape purely because that's the strongest shape.
However, what I don't know is why some panels only have one diagonal cross brace.
I'm having an extension built at the moment - so much, much smaller scale, with much, much smaller machinery - but they are excavating like it's nothing.
I think generally rain is the worst. But cold, even a bit of snow, is mostly okay. At least, that's what the fellas working on my house said.
I am staying there on the 26th. Do you get views of the new ground from the rooms at all?

I think it's fair to say that the 'latticework' pattern will be seen on the four corners of the stadium where there's unbroken brick facade for a few metres. You can see it there - more as a 'watermark' than anything more obvious though. But the perforated rainscreen panels break up the rest of the brickwork around the stadium and just dont allow even that watermark effect to happen.
It was a stupid nod to the past by Meis. I blame him for a failed design in that respect. He was throwing the kitchen sink at this in order to curry favour with the tragical history tour element of our fanbase.
It's just not worked out as far as I can see.
Will it take the look off the stadium? No. It wont. But it definitley shouldn't have made its way off the drawing board.

Rain isn't a huge issue on the larger projects (roof work may be different), as the machinery just deals with it, also dedicated pedestrian areas these days make navigating it all by foot much, much easier. Not quite like it was back in my days on site.
Wind is the killer, at least until they get it waterproof. The speed that wind gets up to on the floor plate, even in a mild breeze is astonishing, you end up practically begging to do some work in the service risers. Ive returned to site to see peo[le mobile platforms essentially thrown off 3 floors up cause it wasn't fixed surely enough overnight.

I see it more as you bring melodramaticI see it more as quality control.
We were in a Dockside room ( views of Tobacco warehouse & Stanley dock )
If you stay on the other side high up I think you'd get a good view.
The view from the road you can't miss it it's Huge.
Can’t pout concrete in freezing conditions.

I am no builder, but where would concrete be needed now? The brickwork is off site, panel things, same with the terraces being pre cast, off site. Pretty much all the ground works would be done ages ago.
