[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Capt Bob Johnson I like cement board (as used behind tile in showers) as a building base. I prefer the brand "Hardiboard" but others will work. The 1/2 inch thick stuff gives nice weight to the buildings so they won't blow away. My station & waiting platforms are glued down to it using exterior construction adheasive, and they withstood an 80 MPH wind the other morning! The station is the only building so far that stays out all year round. Most of the others go into the garage November to mid April. Station on 2nd winter out and not yet showing signs of distress! [/quote] Capt Bob, I had the same idea about making buildings using the cement-type board. I too have had some really strong winds. You must be refereing too this past weekend!! WOW!!! I lost one shingle and three more were getting ready to fly off my garage. Had to climb upp on the roof Sunday (still pretty windy) and nail them back down. I live in Centreville Maryland (Eastern Shore) not too far from Deleware. dan
