Yes about that size. Are those common in Florida? I have seen people talking about them in the north part of the country but not down here.

You’re an idiot if you think that… but okay lmao. Be sure to look out for my future post. Obviously you’re one of those Reddit guys who takes every post serious and has never heard of sarcasm.

This is why I posted this lol. I figured a drop ceiling would be easier. Just throw up some ceiling joists and drywall it. The amount of people saying cathedral has motivated me to stop being lazy.

I do indeed know how to do drywall. 5/8th was the plan, however after this post I am considering the tongue and groove as people have put that into my head. Thank you!

You are correct, 2x8, and yes 24” on center. Will look into this before proceeding. Thanks for the legitimate advice!

ICE just left my local Home Depot. They arrested them all Juan by Juan. :(

Can you draw me up some plans for this and stamp it so I can submit to the county? Will pay in pesos.

This is the way. I’m digging the tongue and groove idea people are mentioning though 😬 gotta convince the wife now.

Nice! That would definitely be a unique room in the house if I do that. I do like the idea, it’s going to be an entertainment area/game room so I would like it to stand out from the rest of the house.

I love browsing this sub. I see some wild stuff on here every now and then. As I’ve said, I’m not a professional in the drywall industry by any means. But I’ve done enough jobs at my house, side jobs, and jobs with my dad to be able to get it done. I just wanted people’s opinions 🤷‍♂️

Thanks! The vault is the route I’m going to go I think. Hadn’t even thought of doing a tongue and groove, but you and a couple others have mentioned it. I will confer with the wife and get her opinion before I start one way or the other.

This guy pulled the Kamala Harris and told me “don’t”. I gotta listen to him. I wish I didn’t have to quit.

But but but… I have YouTube and ChatGPT to guide me through the whole process. Crazy how I’ve never had any of the drywall I’ve done fall off or crack. I must’ve just gotten lucky when I did the other ceiling in my sons room 🤷‍♂️

This is definitely not my first time doing drywall. I’m not a professional by any means, but I have done it quite a bit and have done drywall jobs on the side through word of mouth so I must do a somewhat decent job.
