Supposedly, that weird line indicates where they laid down boards. Now, I presume he meant that they started along the west wall, in the northwest corner and worked their way down the wall towards the stairs. I would have drawn it as a rectangle rather than a line since we're talking about boards covering a two-dimensional area. But, I presume that that is what he meant because what fool would start building a floor without starting in the corner? You'd have to be totally out of your mind to start anywhere but a corner.
So, if we go back to this picture, we are presumably seeing the eastward extension of the boards that were laid.
So, those are the windows along Elm Street on the right. Deep into the picture along that wall is the Sniper's Nest. And presumably, the photographer who shot this was standing with his back to the west wall. But now, look at this picture.
So, that's the door right there to the northwest stairwell, or maybe it was just an opening with no door. Look at the schematic.
But wait. There are stacks of books along the west wall.
Do you remember what I said at the beginning, that no one would start laying a floor except in a corner. And what would you do first? You'd clear out the corner. The very first thing you would do is move everything out away from that wall where you were going to start. And far enough away that you had plenty of room to maneuver and work. So, why didn't they do that? How could they not?
Let's go in closer yet.
Is that a board on the floor? Is that what Bonnie Ray Williams was talking about with this?
What, did they do a strip down the interior without starting in the corner?
Who the pluck knows.
Look: this whole floor-laying thing is BULL SHIT. If they were piddling with it, dabbling with it, it was just for show. No serious construction workers would have ever done anything like this. This is like out of The Three Stooges. And, there are too many damn pictures of the 6th floor showing no floor-building activity whatsoever.
Remember, we are talking about quite a large number of men, and quite a large quantity of lumber and building materials, and quite a large number of tools and accessories, and all of which would had to be squeezed in up there amongst the vast number of boxes and stacks of books. How could there have been room for all that? Plus, there were other workers who reported going to the 6th floor that morning to fill orders. The floor-building is a totally non-credible story. I don't believe it for a second, and neither should you.
