Could have been worse.... at least it didn't take a complete rebuild 
of some major components!

You say that MDF is expensive.... how much are we talking, since over 
here MDF is cheap.. everyone uses it for everything.  So cheap that 
we use 1/2" or 3/4" MDF ripped down to 2" strips instead of buying 
pine.... 2" x 1" for framing stuff...
