The process of laying the sheet linoleum flooring in the new parish hall has begun. Use of this material was a "green" consideration, as it is much more environmentally friendly than conventional sheet vinyl -- and of course a return to the former asbestos tiles is out of the question. As can be seen in the accompanying photograph, the first step is to level all the joints between the sheets of plywood flooring; this is done with the dark material visible along the edges of the plywood. This compound hardens to provide a rigid base for the linoleum. Then the linoleum, which arrives on site in large rolls, is set in place with adhesive. The new floor will not be simply rolled out on the plywood, but is being cut and fitted to produce large-scale geometric designs to add visual interest to the large hall.
