@Felthry oh right, Americans buy houses with the kitchens built into them
@Felthry people usually stay in one place for so long that it doesn't really matter, and it allows them to choose the configuration they want
@Felthry but yeah, with people moving more often the trend goes towards leaving the kitchen where it is
@noiob so i'm assuming here that "kitchen" refers to the whole array of cabinets+stove+oven+refrigerator+sink+microwave??
it feels weird to us that you wouldn't just take the one the house already has in it when you move in
-F
@Felthry well, it's not included, you're expected to take it with you when you move out, or sell it to the next person if they want it
@noiob that feels like a huge hassle, because it's a lot of large appliances to move that may well not end up fitting in the new place
-F
@noiob or do you just have some standardized dimensions for an oven and refrigerator?
-F
@Felthry to an extent, yeah
@noiob @Felthry if memory serves all standard ovens are either 50cm wide, or 60cm wide (that's the one with one or two ovens, regardless of whether they have a built in hob or not) and are either free standing (hob included on top) or built-in (hob separate as it's intended to be fitted into a unit).
Range cookers are similar, in that they come in, I think, either 100cm wide or 110cm I think
@Felthry yeah, or you buy your predecessor's kitchen
