That's your warning.<br /><br />Also, if you're blind, they wouldn't need to be flourescent yellow, would they?

It's a new requirement in the building code that came out last year. I had to do a remodel of a school that required us to have this strip for over 100'. They are a pain in the ass, even when I'm not wearing 6" heels.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619208752908517226noreply@blogger.com
