How Shit Gets Done: A Practical. Part Two: Making Decisions

I bought a range hood last Saturday. I bought it because it had the features Choice sensibly said to look for (and I agree) and because it was floor stock that was available Right Now. I didn't know Right Now meant 45 minutes while the sales fellow did a well-intentioned but stubbornly silly job of dismantling it and packaging it up.

Nevertheless, I walked out of the store with an essential piece of kit for the Shiny New Heaven.

I went to the Kitchen Chap's factory and showroom to drop off the range hood, and pick out doors and colours and cosmetic stuff like that. I've made a preliminary choice, but am likely to change it this week as I have what some believe is an unnatural hatred of round edges on kitchen cabinets (honestly, it's a working surface, not a bloody table), and so I have to choose a different coating.

I have already chosen handles. Neither they nor the laminates nor the vinyl door coatings are pink, the colour of the Current Hell Hole.
