hello
I have been searching for an old thread about how to build an 'obra' kitchen. I seem to remember Hillybilly building one of her own? Can't find the thread anywhere.
Anyone offer any advice/a good link about how to do this? We're basic DIY-ers so we need a bit of an idiot's guide.
Thank you,
Kelly

Mmm I kinda cheated a bit with my kitchen, it is an external addition to my cueva but I did not want it to look too modern or out of place with the rest of the cueva so I bought new units when I left mucia, rough rendered the walls and ceilings and I am putting facing bricks between the units and below as kick boards.
sorry to appear a bit thick here but what is that?rasillones

How strong are the rasillones? The obra units my mum had made came with a warning that we shouldn't put any heavy pots on them...or sit on them. We want to make ours a bit stronger (because we KNOW our kids will climb up on them to reach things).
And how complicated a DIY job is it? I'm very handy with wood (made our kitchen in the UK) but I've never laid a brick in my life. Any ideas where to find a step-by-step guide?
Cheers,
Kelly

Doh!!!...... the large orange tiles we call them borders and they sit between the vigas. we used the concrete ones specially shaped for the job. Thanks now I know what you are talking aboutRasillones are used in roof construction - you can walk on them
We are just in the middle of our kitchen so I will post a pic or a link when we are finished see what people think.

What sizes do the Rasillones come in
