Quality video as always, Paul. Your efforts are much appreciated. I'm a Man Utd fan that's always had a soft spot for Everton because my Granddad took me a few times when I was a kid. My first memories of football were Norman Whiteside, Bryan Robson, Gordon Strachan playing in red and that brilliant mid 80's Everton side with Graeme Sharp etc. This stadium is going to be a great new home for the Everton fans. Four points out of the last 3 games should keep them up. Fingers crossed.
The idiom "Like pulling teeth" maybe appropriate for EFC fans' view of this season (or more) but at about 20 mins into this video it applies to the dentist sitting in the digger on the NE Corner and the Green gadget on the end extracting the corrugated steel shutters that held the ground when the pit was dug for the water tanks, now encapsulated in concrete.
if you look closely at the base and up the tower of the last remaining White Tower crane at various stages during this video, I think the 'team' may have started the disassembly of that crane. The van at the base was what first drew my attention. I expect, had the video been over the weekend, we might have seen the usual telescopic crane appear to lower the sections (each of the other cranes have been disassembled over weekends when the workforce is at a minimum and particularly as that crane is nearest where the traffic goes in and out of the East Stand to/from the ground).

Excellent and very patient work. Thanks Paul.
Think the old pump house will become a firm favourite with site seeiers when the stadium is up and running.

At 24.33 mins I see that they are working on a terraced inner wall at the official stadium boundary up to the higher Mersey Bank wall.
Breaks my heart that we’re all terrified about relegation and paying for this stadium. It’s stopped the development being an enjoyable experience 😢

you are correct, this was the start of dismantling. i have a long video just uploading now of it happening.
Looks quality once finished. But question is which division will the first game be in?
That brickwork cladding, is it brickwork that's been laid in situ, or is just a brick facade that's made of site and fixed on to a frame.
not sure, i think it was said in a previous video but cant remember
