I'm cutting up Homasote. 5 sheets -- most are getting split down the middle but some of the others will be getting trimmed to 1 foot widths.
After all I've said about it, I've abandoned the knife blade in the Skilsaw. (or jigsaw, whatever you call it). It just wasn't going through and the blade was heating to blistering temp. I put in my coarsest blade and went at it. The second coarse blade went a lot faster. But I lose time sweeping up the dust and trimming the cut edges.
Anyway, I've been told to get the Homasote down on the layout even if there are no joists and things on the L-girders.
