Foam

Grouted

Texture paint and sealed. Still smells to much I doubt he'll ever see this one lol

Here's my "practice" one

I DID THE SAME THING! lol i read her instructions and she something like "after i applied the sealer i threw sand on it it didnt work so i just spray painted it" i figured why put a sealer on if it was just gonna be spray painted... what do you mean it ate through the grout like the grout started to come off? i used the same exact spray paint that she did but i havent seen it yet lol i spray painted it at about 3pm and left it in the backyard since i worked at 4pm today right before i left i touched it it was already dried and seemed fine... so what do you mean it ate through the grout and foam.

Ha ha yeah I don't think i put a thick enough layer ofgrout it didn't eat through all the way! I just sprayed in a test spot then skipped that step went straight to tex paint then the matching sealer it's ok I think I just thought it would be harder

it will be hard to control humidity with a waterfall but would love to see some pics when you get done.
