I'd like this to be "unfinished", but what they're doing doesn't really make any sense for getting a "read" on something. They just need to take measurements of the columns and print off a stencil wrap at the proper size. That will get it to a baseline of "acceptable" and an improvement over a blank surface, which isn't something I can actually say about the tiny stencil they went with.
It would absolutely be an improvement at the very least over having either a blank surface or this hilariously scaled down stencil. Ideally they would have added sculpted depth and texture to get it looking more like actual carved wood. But this is Disney in perpetual penny pinching mode where even baseline acceptable is getting hard to come by.
I mean, agreed. At this point, my best case was that they would anchor various carved (or faux carved) panels to the columns, sealing edges and painting them the same base color as the columns so that requisite gaps for elements like the downspouts wouldn't be as obviously concrete, but that's making the best of a situation that really shouldn't have existed in the first place. But if this is what they're going to do, the execution is just insanely bad, and I hope to goodness this is only step one or something.
Probably because they're covered in an epoxy-based concrete paint?
They didn't seem shiny in person... but I was only out there a couple times a week or so ago (like to retrieve my groceries from BS)
Didn’t seem shiny to me either
That’s option “C”…Why do we have to pick, can't it be both???
