Hi Joe:

It all looks great.  I love the cutout/channel you've created for the waterway under the Hellgate bridges. I'm interested to see your progress as it unfolds.

One question I have is this: How did you cut your homasote?  Did you take it outdoors and use a jigsaw?  Or did you use a utility knife? Homasote is wonderful material once it's fitted and in place but it can be a royal PITA to work with before then.  I'd love to hear your approach including what worked and didn't work for you.

I did take it outside and cut it with a jigsaw. It was indeed messy. It would have been too hard to cut with a knife due to the curves.

Then after I fit it, I took if off again and painted it in the garage. Less chance of getting paint on the carpet.
