on flooring
...thing is, about a floor, it's what everything else starts out on, so to put down a new floor you've got to get everything off the old floor, obviously really when you think about it....
Now, admittedly, a lot of what was on the old floor was the new floor, but the aim is to move things as little as possible. We were battening it out and insulating it with 50mm polystyrene, topping it off with 18mm x 600mm x 2400mm flooring boards.
Luckily the apprentice, Young McFugger, was on hand at the start:
so after the first day we had more than half complete, and had suspended some old floorboards for posterity
Next day I cracked on by myself, Young McFugger getting up to no good in the corporate world.
and I finished it leaving the hanging floorboards looking for all that like an art installation
Suspended Floor, Coombes/Jones 2009, wood and kernmantle rope
many thanks to Mr Jones, without whose help etc...

I think you should enter the whole Old Printworks for the Turner Prize as a developing art installation.
