New job....
Caught up at the big ceiling job, and started this one Monday. What a nightmare prep wise. Took 2 of us all day to prep and prime the louver section.

I call mini rollers (sub 4 inch size heads) as slim jims cause you can get them in to tight areas.

Sorry I fell asleep last night....

No spraying allowed, gotta brush and roll it all. We are gonna be here awhile. There are 2 of them almost identical.

As for that louver section.........mostly all the slim jim as you called it. Heard a few names for them, usually just call it a mini.
