Metricon Failure

We have tried to contact Metricon over a serious statutory warranty claim regarding an extremely serious and dangerous product failure. Nothing back from Metricon over two months of trying to get a response.

The Zampatti Oven temperature switch has failed and fallen back inside the oven. It seems the recess switch mounting had become brittle and completely failed.

This dangerous issue should be immediately referred to Energy Safe Victoria, and a total product recall instigated immediately. Do we instigate the product recall proceedings or should Metricom? or do we go straight to Tracy Grimshaw and then Metricon customer service might respond to this serious and dangerous situation

Are they waiting for someone to be electrocuted ???

Tile Time

Thanks to the closure of Masters - Don't you just love competition The Artisan time range which were like $6.50 EACH (ouch) were sold at a drop your pants rate of just $2.00 so it was time to get the two upstairs bathrooms Fully Tiled = floor to ceiling here is the result...

Baby Cave

We opted for a 3 car Garage which was actually a 2 Car Garage with a Storeroom complete with full insulation and normal room and power point lighting. So it was a space waiting to become a room,

Thanks to Masters closing down I hatched a plan and I went on a daily hunt for materials for the Man / Baby Cave Project.
