Would this work?

This granite countertop is in a bathroom at my job and it is sagging severely. Outside of replacing them the only other idea I have is to beef up the framing in minor ways. Can anyone tell me would my idea actually work?

A. Add more cripples for extra support. A minimum of double what's already there.

B. Turn all existing cripples 90° so that they actually add support as intended.

C. Run a board flush with the bottom stud to the wall length wise to fill in any space.

D. Put whatever size blocks I can fit under space so that the frame has its own support to rest the weight on or possibly building a box to run length wise for the same purpose with the added benefit of being more asthetically pleasing when all is said and done.

Packout keeps on giving!

Who knew these bins were microwavable safe!?! 1100w 4½ mins on high not even the slightest bit of a hint of softening. Forgot your bowl for chili today? Grab your nearest empty bin!!!
