    Neenah IceHouse

    So far I like the taskboard. It's easy to cut and trim. Even when I "painted" is with water base paint it did not seem to warp. I was careful not to use too much water in thinning the color. Hinesight suggests that I really didn't need to paint it before applying the siding. I am doing a...
