Tortured Prims and textures

I was looking through the forums and wasn't sure if this would be in the building forum or the texture one, but it's more related to building than designing textures.

Anyway, I am building Noah's ark and the endpiece on the roof is is an odd shape, so I tortured a prim to get it to fit. Looked good, but when I applied a texture, the flat side texture was warped. I look at the prim from the bottom, and the face in question is most definitely flat, but from a face on perspecitve, it looks like it is stretched out a bit. See the image attached. I ended up just coloring it for now, but is this normal for a non-tortured face to have a tortured texture?

To see the whole thing, go to Woraksan (28, 204. 78)

That did it - thanks so much! I was all over that tab, or so I thought, looking and looking. Now I need a "That was easy" button. ;-)
