Yah, youze rite.  If one resets back down, one wouldn't be up there up setting any more.

I thought the reset button would be in the General/Developer forum, downstairs from here. I couldn't seem to locate it, but I found a lot of sweet deals on kitchens.

I'm surprised nobody has chimed in on one of those threads yet about how their bespoke custom build kitchen is 20-40% better than the ones advertised, and how they've destruction tested the wall cabinets by filling them completely with cans of the highest density baked beans available in order to select the best fixing to substrate solution currently known to man.
 
For me though there's nothing to beat a proper cabinet makers example from the 19th century of a Welsh dresser hewn from English oak.  Along with a belfast sink and a cast iron solid fuel range they have so much more 'phatness' than modern units and the food prepared in that kind of environment has much more analogue warmth, so much more you can even taste it in a double-blind A,B,X test.

That's cheating on so many levels, and even if you built new with that it would still look like it came from the 50's and 60's.
 
There's no substitute for a REAL carpenter.

Maybe, but the "Karen" model in KIAB comes close, ya?

Jonbouy, you have a point.

And in a related issue, talking of real irons...

My grandmother used to use a real iron to iron clothes.  It was indeed made out of iron, and had to be heated on top of the wood burning stove.
 
I'm sure the clothes turned out 20%-40% nicer.

Easily 20-40%, but I think that 'extra' factor can be put down to the awesomeness provided by Grandmothers rather than the gear...
