I wanted a semi-custom route for a home office, b it didn’t want to shell out a heap load of cash. My solution was ikea cabinets and kitchen countertops cut to size. Just the cabinets and countertops were under $400.

@holy-cow We may be semi-related, very thin tendril though. My uncle (by marriage) Ed (Edwin) Propst was from Franklin, WV in Pendleton County. His nephew Tom Propst is an LS in L.A. or Orange County, CA I believe now, via Glenville State in WV, which is also my alma mater. My two Propst cousins are still in Clarksburg, WV and both now retired. 

Small world.

That is close to home, home turf that is.  Oak Flat and Fort Seybert are place names I recall in my research.  Anyone named Conrad or Eye, plus plenty of other names, is probably a distant relative as they both arrived prior to the Revolutionary War.  Mainly Pendleton County but some were in Randolph County.

Propst

 I never knew there was a Propstburg. Seems fitting. I've only been through Franklin and Pendleton County maybe twice in my life (I'm 51). Propst was the married name of my mom's sister. They were Bullough's from around Philippi and Buckhannon, WV.

Cleats screwed to the wall and heavy duty "L" brackets at the connections.

The Conrad Cemetery is near Ruddle.  The Eye Cemetery is near Deer Run.  There are nine different Propst cemeteries and two Propstburg cemeteries in Pendleton County.

@david-livingstone Pretty much what I have except more cluttered and my view is better.
