Yawn!
Which bit of Mr. Norman's statement that "the floor construction guys" "Didn’t work for the Book Depository" can you possibly be struggling with, Mr. Collins? These words all on their own rule out ALL Depository employees--------whether 401 Elm or warehouse. These men, who were helped out on the floor-laying project by some Depository employees when business was slack, came in from outside.
He is explicitly asked in his 6FM interview to name some Depository employees who helped out specifically on 11/22/63, and on the spot can only think of Mr. Givens. (Mr. Norman did not himself help out on 11/22/63.) He is however then, immediately after this, explicitly asked to name one of the carpentry crew, and cannot name a single person, being able only to give a physical/personality description of one of these men. This again proves that he knows there were two groups of men working on the floor-laying project: "carpenters" (outside team) + Depository men (helping out).
Now while Mr. Norman cannot speak with certainty to the question of who exactly was on six 11/22/63, his information that he, Mr. Williams & Mr. Jarman avoided the sixth floor for their lunch break because they had reason to expect it would be noisy, tells us a crucial fact: there were men on the sixth floor who were not expected to take their lunch hour at the same time as the Depository men. Such men cannot have been Depository employees---------they must have been members of the outside carpentry crew.

When considering that your interpretation of those isolated words contradicts everything else known about who was on the sixth floor (and who wasn't), it is reasonable to believe that your interpretation cannot be correct. A more reasonable explanation is that Norman is considering the Elm Street building the depository, and the separate warehouse building as something separate. Mr. Sample is the only one who used the words "outside contractor." And workers from the warehouse could be considered from "outside" the depository by Norman. Again, considering the totality of the evidence regarding who was (and wasn't) on the sixth floor that day, this is the only reasonable explanation.

LHO couldn't remember Norman's name (as someone who he claimed walked through the domino room at his lunch time) and he had worked with him that same day. The interview with Norman was done 28-years later.
Now while Mr. Norman cannot speak with certainty to the question of who exactly was on six 11/22/63, his information that he, Mr. Williams & Mr. Jarman avoided the sixth floor for their lunch break because they had reason to expect it would be noisy, tells us a crucial fact: there were men on the sixth floor who were not expected to take their lunch hour at the same time as the Depository men.
