Is your kitchen an extension or is it upstairs?
What I'm asking is, is there a roof above your kitchen and not another
floor?

30 inches up from the sink makes it about 5 feet from the floor, or about 2
feet down from the roof, if there is one, if there is, the chances are
you've hit a roof tie - a thick metal strap which is fixed to the wall and
to the roof timbers to prevent the roof disappearing in a storm
