    You didn't specify which was which, but I hope the green is the old one.

    I think I might disappoint you. The new one is the solid green with geometric mdf accents.

    Both are pretty unique concepts. As long as you are happy....

    The accents are cool. The shade of green is ok. The entire wall the same solid colour though, not my taste.

    I've done a few, they're not crazy hard if you are using the proper tools (ie not a couple of screwdrivers) and are careful. That said, I wouldn't want to do them up a tall ladder.

    Fixed our main room feature wall. The fuck was I thinking with the previous colour? Next project is building a mantel for above the fireplace.

    Not hard at all, you could rip a 4x8 sheet of mdf down to strips the size you want but we used pre primed mdf strips at 1.5” wide. Prepainting took a bit (wall and strips). Using the mitre saw was an afternoons work. Then patched and sanded one day and then painted again. Took 3 weekends in total but we maybe worked 2 hours at a time tops/ if I didn’t have a toddler I could have done it in a weekend.

    Anybody know if this waterproofer is the same as a sealant? My 3 year old concrete sidewalk and driveway has never been sealed so I was going to try this out

    I don't know, for certain. But I have gone with whatever that concrete store sells in Calgary. I think they're a bit off Blackfoot... Trying to recall the name. I'll remember later.

    At any rate - the key with concrete sealers is to buy the most volatile, stinky, smells like cancer from a block away shit you can get. They sell that.
