I moved into a new house and they had a drop ceiling. I tore down the drop ceiling and i want to frame the ceiling and put up sheetrock.
I have sheetrocked before, but i've never framed anything. There are ducts in the ceiling so I'll have to build a soffit to lower the ceiling about 12" from the floor joists. Anyone have any links or books to learn how to do this?
I've read a couple links on the web that said it's just like building a wall and turning it sideways. Should I use 2x4's nailed together parallel?
Thanks in advance guys and gals,
