This article in Construction News gives a highly-detailed insight into the modern methods of construction employed by Laing O'Rourke to build Everton's new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock that began with completely doing away with blockwork.
From hammer rigs, thixotropic grout sealing and precast concrete lattice landings to screed levels, transparent polycarbonate roofs and plug-and-play toilets, the article explains in intricate detail how the stadium has got to the point where it is on the way to its anticipated completion in December next year.

I don't mind the idea of requesting to be home on boxing day and using that for the first game

Use those couple of months to play under-23 games, live concerts, dirt track racing, scout jamborees, demolition derbies etc… anything to pull in a crowd and stretch the facilities to iron out any kinks.
It would be so typical of the numpties who run the club if we'd have to close BMD after a game or two due to “unforeseen circumstances†ie the bogs don't flush or, the turnstiles start to jam etc…
A few more months won't kill us.

I just clicked on the link at the top of the main thread, and I got straight onto the article. Perhaps, you have something in your browser preventing you from doing the same, but it isn't a paywall site as far as the link is concerned.

Spurs have joined the list of "new build" victims with Harry Kane leaving and guaranteed trophy-winning managers failing. Hard to imagine they were in the Champions League final just weeks after moving into the new place.
Our final "dip" (because we're already ahead of the curve starting as we did at the first digger going in) is going to rewrite the record books.

As someone who is totally impractical and struggles with even simple basic DIY a lot of it went over my head but what I can see we are going to have a super state-of-the-art stadium. The timeline video is good to watch.

I'll just have to try every day till my 30 day embargo is lifted.

My main worry is that this is the article I viewed in the last 30 days and that I've already completely forgotten about it and that senility beckons.

If, only the Everton Board, could get the reality of life, for Everton FC.
