Dave Metzger Senior Member Username: davemetzger Post Number: 436 Registered: 07-2001 Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 10:35 pm:    Jerome: I Googled MCF for acronyms and definitions, and found more than 300, from "Money Comes First" to some that cannot be repeated in this forum. None of them come close to fitting the context of door casings or similar trim. Maybe it means an owner who doesn't know what they're talking about. Jerome J.

Working late as well. Sounds like your owner is confused. I usually send those confused ones a listing of available veneers, types, cuts, etc. along with a nice PDF of some color shots depicting doors. Usually that humbly fixes the situation while educating the owner without issue. Melissa J.

Someone sending out a link to this years EU Human Resources "Anti-Harrasement" Power Point presentation (there will be a test) and by mistake keys in the instructions to shut down all cooling piping in all nuclear reactors in northern Europe.

I am sure MCF mystery will resurface, but at this point, I don't care anymore. ken hercenberg Senior Member Username: khercenberg Post Number: 312 Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 10:32 am:    Mind Control Framing.
