Mr Sifter Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 On its way down this morning ....................... by hand Spoke to one boy of the demo boys yesterday. They're bringing the bricks down by hand so they can then pull the whole structure down towards the main stand. They've got to take the bricks out first to ensure they don't end up on McLeod street once the building has been pulled. Yesterday saw the demolition of the near side gable end of the old admin block too. So as you look at the main stand, the only bit of (the admin) building left was the gable end nearest the stand. That's where the power was coming into the building, so they've had to wait for that to be cut off before bringing that bit down. It may be down by now, I've not passed today.

DETTY29 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I don't know about the time scales for the opening of the new location (the final planning decision for it is only due this evening), but the Nursery's newsletter suggests that the nursery staff and kids moved to Dalry PS during the week commencing 28 November. Out of interest was it passed ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairneyhill Jambo Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 To the people taking the photos, top work I check this thread every day, and love seeing the progress! I think it would be a good idea to have a dedicated thread for pictures of the works being done so we can see the progress being made.

BigC Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Just a reminder that I set up a FB group so that people can see the progress (without having to come onto page 200 of this thread and wade through arguments about grammar). https://www.facebook.com/groups/1154852404581539/ If people who are passing could also post pics there it would be appreciated! I don't want to lift the photos off here without permission as not everyone will want their pics nicked. Unfortunately I don't pass the ground too often so don't get an opportunity to take pics myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August Landmesser Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 There'll be some glorious floodlit/night-time shots at the Killie game - you won't be able to get into the stand for folk stood on McLeod Street with cameras, like birdwatchers when a lesser spotted Gusset Tickler lands in the park...

Nookie Bear Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 There has to be a premium moment when the stand is fully exposed, visible from McLeod Street and still intact. At that point, I would love Hearts to do something like invite all the ex players who can get there to gather in front of it for a mass picture. Too sentimental?

Stephen Muddie Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) No, it's not. Possessive pronouns don't have have an apostrophe. The other examples you provided are correct but it doesn't apply to 'its' when showing possession. Illogical as it is, or is that "it's"? No, well, yes, well it's ok in one way but not its other so it's got itself all twisted up in its own knickers, that it. I think it thinks it's it. I for one have never liked it. Mike and all the others are so much more predictable :-( Edited December 9, 2016 by Stephen Muddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thanks for the photos Farin, they look great. Amazing to see thats the offices now completely taken down, the community building having its final part removed, trees now coming down and all thats left to do is the nursery which you would imagine will be started from next week. And all work from the demolition expected to be complete in two weeks. I do look forward to seeing Tynecastle next week to see the difference.
