Chapter 4: Taking it apart · 26 November 2011

Sir Kev is our new best friend!

Demolition · Press & Grand Designs

Loads to talk about but we’re all a bit overcome with it all at the moment, so we’re going out in Leeds tonight with our family to get back to normality!

So, to summarise, the whole gallery seating came out, and I was petrified that the south wall would collapse and with it, bring the whole cinema down. Cue a scene with me shouting ‘be careful! be careful!’ to a million ton JCB that looked like a T-Rex eating our beloved cinema!

And the telly people came down for our first ‘Kevin day’ where we met and chatted with Kevin McCloud who turned out to be a really nice guy and gave us tips, and made us feel really comfortable doing the telly bits.

And we made a fantastic discovery! A Terrazzo floor in the entrance hall. This is 1920s polished concrete!

More of everything later, but here’s a cheesy photo of me, Kate and our new best friend!

Kevin finally gets to meet his heroes...
