Hi Gang!

I don't know if I posted this before but here is a link to my work on a Soo Line Icehouse that was located in Neenah Wisconsin.

I will be updating that gallery often as progress is made

Tom,

Nice work - coming along very well. I noticed that you are using TaskBoard. How do you like it? A number of us requested free samples. I for one am not entirely sure what to make of it... It does not seem to have many advantages over styrene with the exception you can use waterbased glues and paints on it - although that may lead to warping as you noted.

Any feedback on this as a building material?

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 side elevation today and I did not paint the taskboard. We'll see how it works out.

I just updated the photos for the Neenah Icehouse and thought you might like to see it.
