I could use some help determining how to mount a laminate countertop to this half-wall with 2x8 studs:https://ift.tt/2uus1pg have an 8' counter that I will either cut vertically to fit between the two posts (on top), or horizontally across the back to reduce the depth (floating).Will I run into any support issues if I mount it as a floating "shelf" off the back on the wall instead of on top? I also have a sheet of plywood that will go under the counter to help distribute the weight on top of the brackets.I'm using these brackets. I would use two if the counter is going to post to post (about 6.5') but possibly more if I went float and had the full 8'.If I go float, I would likely cut the counter down to a depth of 16-18" and have pine go across the top of the half wall. I think it would look better to have it float and have matching pine across the whole top (instead of only on the left and right wings), but I don't want to sacrifice structural integrity. via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2HSrWUg
