You'll be doing the boarding and skimming, I just need to get my 4rse in gear and get something up there to fix the boards to.

Anyway, what're you doing on the forum at this time of day? That stairs and landing finished? Or are you having a day off? :sisi: #fivedaysaweekmyarse

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Quick, easy, bang on level, and it adds structure which the tin won't and also allows pipes/cables to be clipped. (y)

I’d agree metal is far better system and easier tbf, to drop past your rsjs you’d probably need gl9 gypframe brackets or even gl12 , most are stocked items and tbh tradeline at Ccf have there own version but I’m not sure on them , once your brackets are lined up and a channel around the edge that’s your hard bit out the way and the ceiling will be flatter than wood , also could pop in some sound block and leave a 3 mm gap around the edge of the entire ceiling then cork and skim would stop a lot of noise going upstairs if you had a bedroom above

I’ll pm you a dummies guide @imago
If you want it
