HELP 5Jun 15, 2011 12:23 pm neesh790 - Replacing the rangehood now will be much cheaper it won't be cheaper if they won't let you replace it though! have you looked into whether there are rangehoods around whose installation won't mean re-designing your kitchen cupboards, or are you just taking Burbank's word for it? I'd probably do some research, I can't imagine they'd all be THAT different. surely another one might fit in with your cupboard design? yes, it will be a pain but so are lots of aspects of building and we have to think of the end result.... and yes it may be costly, but so may upgrading it (if they let you...)

Re: Burbank won't let me upgrade the rangehood! HELP 6Jun 15, 2011 12:32 pm I think the key is in your first post.... it's a "medium density housing development". I can see their point... everything will be ordered in bulk and the same for each townhouse to keep the costs down. They can bang them out a lot quicker easier and cheaper when they are all the same. IMO it's just one of those things you'll have to accept as part of building in this type of development, in much the same way people accept covenants in estates. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Burbank won't let me upgrade the rangehood! HELP 7Jun 16, 2011 9:13 pm Thanks all for your input.
