Grumblings about the WONDERFUL glass supplier

As promised, here is my entry about the "wonderful" glass supplier and their works. You would have thought that only carpentry would cause delay, but well, glass works too, and more troublesome as well!

For those who have been faithfully reading our blog, you would know by now that our lil corner is like a glass house, aka fish tank, lol. The construction of this glass house cocked up not once but more than 3 times, and it's getting extremely annoying. First of all, the glass supplier fixed the balcony's glass door at the wrong position. Both pieces should be sitting on the divider that separates the living room and balcony, but yet.... have a look at the pics below and you will know what I mean...

It's freaking ugly!!! MAnz, so pissed! Apparently, according to the glass experts, they were unable to fix both doors at the intended position as it would be dangerous, being too near to the edge of the concrete beam. Their logic made sense. Our ID insisted that it can be done and reassured us that the problem would be solved. Two days later, he came back and tell us that NO, the glass supplier can't fix the doors at their intended position afterall cos of the same reason - safety. He was wondering if we were able to "live with it" but we insisted that he redo the tiling to reposition the divider. He finally relented, but the tiler took a few days to rectify the mistake. See? Kena delay again.

Secondly, the glass supplier took the wrong measurement for the connecting door between our MBR and WIW as well as the MBR toilet's door. Guess what? Kena delay another week as they needed time to fabricate new pieces of glass. Arrgh!

Thirdly, not all those glass works that were completed are perfect. Either they didn't fix a seal, or the lock was faulty, thus, more delay. These are very minor issues that can be rectified within an hour, but they took an amazingly long time. Till now, not all problems have been rectified and it's annoying!

Fourthly, due to oversight of our ID who told them that our kitchen will be housing a thick solid surface worktop instead of a slim one, the measurement for the glass backing was wrong and now, the kitchen glass backing is sitting in our living room collecting dust. They are now fabricating a new piece, but at the rate they are going, it looks like we're gonna have to wait for yet another week, sianz! So pissed! How to handover by National Day you tell me lah??!

Last but not least (I can't recall if there are any further cock ups at the moment, but I am sure there are), the supposed full height WIW mirror did not reach the ceiling and it looks freaking weird!!! Our ID is supposed to solve the problem, but at the rate he is going, I bet it will be another long wait.

This entry is just about the problems we encounter with the glass works. There are also other cock ups we have yet to blog about. Will do so when I have the time!
