18" rollers

OK guys,

I was wrong. I spoke with an OSHA rep in nevada. Word is that those rollers are not regulated here as long as safety equipment is provided.
Sorry for the big stink.

In my defense, about 10 yrs ago, I was on a union job in chicago, using an 18 and was told by the foreman NOT to use it on walls and ceiling when osha was around. He actually made me hide it in a closet under some drops.
That's when I learned that they were intended for floors only. At that period in time, the trays were really shallow and not very easy to deal with. I guess things changed. I won't use them any more. Time takes a toll on the body and it isn't worth it to me to use an 18.

GLK, I especially owe you an apology. Hope you accept.

I'll take my medicine if you guys want to dish it out.

Thanks for the clarification. You had me wondering, that's for sure....but I don't think anyone had any hard feelings against you because you told us something we hadn't heard before.

I don't care what Brush says about you, you're on OK guy, Joe!

Thanks Joe but it's no big deal. I take nothing to heart. Everybody has different opinions on different things.

where to get

Does anyone know where to get sheepskin 18" covers? All my stores local won't order them singly, and $280 per case seems a little high.

Any suggestions on where to look?
