Collapsible scissor grill:
The grill was installed by Three Kim last 3 days.
Charges as below-
10' x 8.5'H - RM1530
Sand surface powder coat black (RM6/sqft) - RM510
Total cost RM 2040.
As you can see from the picture below, some of the metal strips are obviously leaving quite a big gaps when the grill is fully collapsed. The installer said they can't do anything to adjust now as it's the problem when they made it in the factory, whether the worker misalligned the strips when drilling or the metal is slightly bended.
I snapped a photo of it and sent to the ladyboss Ivy but yet to receive any response till now. Heard from his staff that the boss has gone out of town/country....will wait for her response and see what she says. Actually in my mind, I already presumed that they are not gonna do anything but to convince me into accepting it, as it will be a tedious job to dismantle it, rework and re-install again. It's just too much work and additional time needed.
I know that sometimes we must learn to accept imperfection especially when comes to renovation....but if like that, they are just 'okay' but not as the great reputation claims....
Will see~
Updates on the rectification of the collapsible scissors grill:-
The boss of Three Kim came over with his supplier to attend my complain regarding the unpleasant "gaps" as per picture shown above. His supplier claimed that the gaps are unavoidable as the washers on the criss cross mechanism are already at the closest contact. When I asked why do I see others outside can be alligned nicely without gaps, he said those old timer's metal bars are wider in width, so they can fully covered the gaps...nowadays not like old times, material that they order always come less than spec. In another word, consumer like us are the victim when the vendors are saving cost by giving lesser material!! What the~!
Since I've expected the results, so I just need to accept it but lucky that the kitchen wall unit is somehow going to block out the unpleasant scene from my eyesight!
Things is not over yet, on the spot we found another problem. The inner side of the metal strips are found with corrosion mark...the boss Kenment said maybe I accidentally splashed water on it or it kena rain splashes....oh God, I could swear I didn't!!!! Then only I recalled that it was a rainy day when they came for installation. They wrapped it with cling wrappers but it might still get wet... He said will send the workers to come later to do some spraying touch-up, with those aerosol spray.... The grill is new but already with rusty mark now due to their miss-handling, and I'm going to get some aerosol spray touch-up! Can you imagine my utmost disappointment and my frustration!?
