Cabinetry installed. Rangehood issues

Had 5 appointments today
- security
- blinds
- rangehood
- landscape
- wardrobes

Issues
- Security guy couldn't find his wires at the front of the house - it had been moved, but I'd taken a photo so managed to contact site supervisor to find them - they'd been pulled out, probably while installing the eaves.

- Rangehood - this one I should have known.  My rangehood is back ducted meaning it goes straight out the wall of the kitchen.  Forgot.  Put down pipe there. Face palm.
Rangehood guy makes it seem like it will be hard to move down pipe, so instead, he will go roof ducted.  Means useless $350 ducting, need an extra 5 ducts costing $600, and rather than a few hours work, it will take a day. NOOOOO.
Message site supervisor. Thank God that he can move down pipe!
Plumber pointing out where the down pipe should be!
- Landscaper. Sounds like I need to fill in a lot of soil, may also need more retaining walls.  Going to move my herb garden to have better light.  Also no point having the clothesline where it currently is as there's no light.
- Wardrobe. I was a bit useless, didn't really know what I want...

Things completed
- My cabinetry! Kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. 

Complete with expensive condiment
and bin drawer
Annoyed that the broom cupboard again has a fixed shelf, however it is higher, so should fit an ironing board.
- Garage floor
- Doors, architraves and cornices being completed.
- Stairs and hand rail
- Electricity meter
- Bricks acid washed
- Missing powerpoints

Also thank God my retaining wall is finally being resolved.  Going to build it at a reasonable cost. Only annoying thing is that I now have to have it further off the boundary wall to make it less than 1m.
