Rejuvenation of our Kitchen and Master Toilet: Day 18 - (22nd May) Installation of cabinets and PD doors

Today was a very eventful day. The first to arrive were the PD doors installers who were very early because the owner of the first unit that they were supposed to do the installation was not present to open the doors for them.

The installers (1 PRC and 1 Malaysian) were not bad. When they dismantled my common toilet door, they were quite careful and ensured that cracks in the walls and tiles were minimised. The PRC installer was rather patient and meticulous. He would check each part of the door and open/close the door several times, making adjustments and applying grease at the joings before he's satisfied of the installation. The Malaysian installer was also very careful when applying the silicone around the doors. I would say that they did a decent job :)
[Afternote: We noticed some scratches on the doors and the master bedroom toilet door started creaking.... time to call them for rectification ...]

The carpenters came at around the same time as the PD Doors installers. There were 3 carpenters that came. Generally, their carpentry works were quite good. The only deficiency is their installation. The rectifications that I would require them to do are as follows:

1) Scratches in the interior laminates of 2 doors of my top cabinets
2) Bad installation of the pull-out rack. They didn't measure the racks properly even though I've already given them a sample. They had to fabricate another piece of side-backing which was a few mm shorter. As a result, the interior looked very ugly. They also didn't install the pull-out racks properly and there was no allowance at the bottom-most rack.
3) Huge gaps inbetween doors to the extent I can see the racks
4) Wierd joining of the bottom interior panels.
5) Odd opening/ closing of the 2 doors beside my hood. Basically, the doors when opened will knock against the tempered glass. The correct method is for the doors to open away from the hood. (No common sense)
6) Imperfect abs trimmings
7) Odd design of the dish rack. The side panel attached to the disk-rack stopped mid-way and did not run all the way down to my tiles top. As a result, there's an odd corner.
8) Bad application of silicone at some areas because the carpenter forgot to smoothen the silicone.
9) Warped door
10) One interior panel was badly laminated to the extend I can see bubbles
11) The doors for the rubbish chute were fabricated wrongly
12) They didn't attempt to seal up the gap separating the sink and my hob.

I have informed Jason that I need to speak to him. He said will drop by tomorrow morning to check the quality.

One surprise of the day was the appearance of Uncle at around 3.30pm. He made a surprise check but unfortunately he did not pick up those flaws. Good thing was that he arranged for the air-con man to install the trunkings for my master toilet to be installed. However, the aircon man damaged by marble flooring... the worker cleaned the trunking on my marble flooring and in the end, there were streaks along the floor which cannot be cleaned away !

He also called Ah Di from SL to deliver a small piece of marble skirting because it was damaged by the tiler while hacking away the tiles.
