| We have a 1300SF basement of which 600SF is finished out. We have a drywall ceiling in the finished section and we are getting ready to finish out the remaining area. In the 9+ years we've had our finished section, we've never had to get up in the ceiling for any reason. No doubt, a drywall ceiling looks better, but something is telling me to consider a drop ceiling with decorative tiles just in case we ever have to get up in the ceiling down the road...any thoughts? Thanks. |

Thirteen years ago, we did a drop. We also have removable panels in the walls to access the plumbing at certain spots. We never have needed to access any of it...HOWEVER, I advocate being cautious and doing the drop ceiling: for 13 years we enjoyed a fab party pit. In March of 2010, The 100 year storm caused flooding and my basement filled with water and had to be torn out and re-built. We finished it just before Christmas. I am not much of a gambler. I've found Murphy screws up shit that's expensive to fix. |
