If you can't find MDF, see if any of the yards carry "Truepan". It's got the properties and strength of MDF, but it's approx 25% lighter. It is a little more expensive though but well worth it, especially on larger builds.

Yeah, Holland is right outside of Toledo... You know where Spring Meadows shopping center is... That's Holland... and I live right across from where they have the Strawberry Festival every year.

As far as Brian, Not totally sure. If he worked mornings I'm sure I'd remember his face, but we have a ton of turnover in morning people so it's hard to remember all the names.

Do you know Brian Lomeli? I think he used to work there.
(he got fired a while ago, had to have surgery and since he already had lates they told him they just had to let him go)

(Holland is by Toledo right?)

The reason that the price of MDF went up is because the price of glue went up do to slacking sales towards the end of the season and through the off season. Menards building materials manager told me that he hopes it goes back down a little towards the end of spring (but I'm not keeping my hopes up)... Also this is a little known fact on the same and commodity items (like lumber), but Menards has a policy that they don't advertise or mention to customers... If you find it somewhere else cheaper (within the region), then if you ask for them to not only price match it, but also knock 11% Off... They will ;) , but you have to ask for it and they will double check the price of the competition that you state is cheaper.

The price of MDF has gone up along with most building supplies. MDF is a commodity item and the price can change daily @ Lowes and HD. I was the manger of the lumber deptartment at Lowes and had to deal with alot people bitchin about it too. Also just cause one Lowes has it for 19.99 doesn't mean the others will. The price changes by district usually and they won't price match anything out of the district either. (unless you bitch enough then they will)

Also Lowes of HD should be able to cut it for you. Just make sure they use a tape measure when they cut it becasue most of the time the ones on the saws are not exact.
