I pull it back and notice there’s a hole in the floor boards that has been stuffed with old rags – weird bodge job I think and I start to remove the bits of material… (3/9) pic.twitter.com/Yd8l3K2crd

Once it’s unrolled, I realise the paper is also folded in half – this had better be worth it… (8/9) pic.twitter.com/X8yedalLsk
