In this video we show you how to make and install your own DIY basement ceiling that is 100% accessible. It is accessible like a dropped ceiling but it is not dropped. It is recessed into the I joists so it has a nice finished look and you will not lose any height with the ceiling like you would if you installed a dropped ceiling. This project was less than $100 and was extremely easy to install! We ended up painting this basement ceiling black and love it!!! Good luck on your DIY basement ceiling and hopefully this idea helps you! Thanks for watching another Collins Country video:)

@AlexeiTetenov Год назад

The ceiling idea is genius. Even if you have regular wooden beams, you can attach some 2"x2" boards along the bottom edge, and lay sheetrock on these 2x2's. A person can even attach a board that extends past the edge of the drywall and have the drywall flush with the bottom of the ceiling beam.

+Alexei Tetenov Absolutely! You could make this work multiple ways. I 100% give all this credit to my husband. He is SO CREATIVE and smart when it comes to this stuff. Anyway. Thanks for the nice comment! If you’re putting in a ceiling, I hope it goes well:)

Awesome!! We were inspired by your idea and are currently doing this type of ceiling in our basement in white!! It's unique and we are just about ready to put the drywall sheets. We added the little 2x4 before the drywall so a little differently than you guys but the results should be the same. So far, we have one room done and our bathroom. I love the style..only thing is I will need to go back with some Caulking as some of the 2x4 weren't perfect but the result is going to be worth the effort. Thank you guys!!

We are glad this is helpful to you. With existing 2 x 10 joists you could screw some 1x4s or 2x4s to the bottom of the joists to use as lips to hold the drywall. 1x3 could work too but wouldn’t give you as much of a lip to hold the panels. Good luck!!

Currently doing this in our basement…my question is, how are you going to be able to get those drywall boards in and out after you’ve put in the center 2x3s? They’re easy to put in before that but near impossible to take the drywall out once that center line board is in.

You can still do this with standard joists, just add a 2x3, 1x4, or similar board to each joist to form the lip. I plan to do this as well as pre-sanding, filling, and painting the boards before they go up so I only have a little touch-up from nail holes to worry about afterwards.

Hello! Good job! How do you get pass any copper hose in the basement

@CollinsCountry Год назад

Hi! Thanks for watching. If the copper pipes are in the way you will likely have to recess them in between the joist or try to relocate them. Turn water off and buy shark bite fittings and it will make easier job. Other option would be to get really creative and come up with ideas to where you don’t have to relocate them but possibly box around them. Good luck. Hope this helps.

@shreebijay Год назад

I am doing the same for ceiling. Have a question on insulation. Which insulation you guys used for the ceiling and how much did it help in sound proofing?

@CollinsCountry Год назад

We used fiberglass insulation. It does help with the hollow boomy sound from the bass but does not limit the sound completely to the floor above. I would likely hate it with out the insulation. That being said there are better sound absorbing insulations out there that are more expensive such as rock wool insulation and denim insulation. Good luck

@CollinsCountry Год назад

One other tip. Sometimes the drywall panels can vibrate with bass sounds so when installing insulation make sure there is slight pressure pushin down on the panels to keep a tight seal against the lip of I-joist.

Great ceiling idea, but OSB I-Joists??? Freaking junk, no wonder homes fall apart so easily

@CollinsCountry Год назад

+Buck Ruffman Morning! And thank you for the nice compliment about the ceiling. In regards to the I joists- I couldn’t disagree more:) If I built my house again I would 100% use the I joists. They hold more than traditional lumber. But we can have different opinions. No big deal at all:) Have a good weekend!

Poor guy. You just wants to work.

Less that $100?! There's more than $100 in lumber let alone the "ceiling tiles"... neat idea but clickbait with the sub $100 thumbnail.

@CollinsCountry 2 года назад

+Asa Trujillo Hello there! I’ll simply explain the ceiling for you. Technically you’re correct. It didn’t cost less than $100, it actually cost less than $50:) This ceiling is made out of 1/2 inch drywall that we cut into pieces and slid up over top of the lip of the i joists. We then painted everything black. Where we live in Kentucky, this drywall is $8ish per sheet of 4ftx8ft drywall. We used less than 5 sheets of drywall. In regards to your clickbait comment- some youtubers have to use clickbait for viewers to watch their “fake” videos. This method has ruined it for those of us that actually make real and helpful content with actual facts on our thumbnails… For us it’s not clickbait, it’s the truth. Our goal is to help other DIYers out there:) I hope this helped clear it up. If you have any questions please let us know:) Also- there is another video of this ceiling on our channel if you need to watch it. Have a good night!

Collins Country, Asa apparently didn’t watch the video or he just didn’t understand what you did. Awesome idea. I’ve been trying to find something nicer then a drop ceiling but still have access to above the ceiling. How did you finish the sides to the drywall? Would love to see a finished product.

@@CollinsCountry In Canada its $21 a sheet for a 4x8. For the bathroom it's called Aqua board 4x8 sheet it looks blue on the one side it is the only gyproc that can be used for bathrooms and is mandatory building code here in Canada. It's mold and mildew resistant in case of water leaks should ever happen. The aqua board is $31.00 a sheet. We needed 7 in our bathroom. Looks like you used regular drywall panels in your bathroom. I don't know what your building code is where you live but something to look into, as it doesn't cost $8 a sheet anywhere. You still used material that cost money at some point I agree there is no way this was less than a $100 and is deceiving to someone who doesn't know anything about construction. 🪵 Lumber here is like gold since covid and at least 60%-80% more than pre-covid era. Would be nice if all you tubers were honest about the real cost. Some will say a certain remodel cost them $200 and then they finally say 90% of stuff was given to them for free. Sure it only cost them $200 but in actuality IF they had to buy ALL of the products needed for the project would have cost over $2500. That should have to be stated in the first few sentences of a video.

@@timparker8759 Hey! I am sorry for just now noticing this comment... Anyway. The ceiling is now finished and I will post the video below, but we painted all of the drywall on the ceiling and put boards around the edges where the ceiling meets the wall to make a smooth transition and completed look. It was soooo easy and cheap! Here is the finished ceiling video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-43R89Ev1W9s.html

Collins Country. I’m actually really close to finishing my version of this ceiling. I used 5/8” drywall cut into sections. My room is 12’ wide, so I used 3 4’ sections across each bay. I cut 2x3 wood to his the seams of them boards. To finish it off I had 1/2” plywood cut to 4” wide strips. And installed that over all the 2x3 wood showing from the rafters. Then I used a router to give it all a profile edge. Finally I paint the drywall light grey. The 2x3s black and the trim boards white. Gives it all a coffered ceiling look. I’m not sure if I can send you pictures on here.

She talks to much

@CollinsCountry Год назад

hahahaha! You're not wrong. She talks a lot... But trust me- even with her talking too much, she is the absolute best wife out there. You won't find another one as beautiful, funny, hardworking, kind or smart as her. Think about it. You probably don't know a wife that works full time, exercises regularly, cooks a homemade dinner daily, packs my lunch daily, cleans everyday to keep our house showroom ready, gets my coffee ready every morning, fully takes care of the kids so that can hunt whenever I want (and I do), and always has a smile on her face when doing all of this! But yes, she talks a lot. I hope you have a significant other that "talks too much" so that you're enjoying the best life!!!! Have a good weekend:)

@GirlsNDragons Год назад

By the lengthy response you got, I think the wife responded acting as the husband, lol But he/she is definitely right. I’m a wife. I own/run a mobile mechanic business & escape room business with my husband. We take care of each other. We’re too busy hustling together for me to be the primary waiter in the family.

@CollinsCountry Год назад

@@GirlsNDragons It was my wife responding and she was trying to be funny by talking too much again, but I don't think the guy realized it LOL. I do agree with what she said though... She's not too bad. And you're right. Gotta take care of eachother

Literally ordered 20 sheets of drywall to do my ceiling after seeing this. Are those 8’ strips of drywall or 4’? Did you notice any sagging since it’s been up?

@CollinsCountry Год назад

+gpsbowl Hello! And yay! You’ll love it! We cut them in half so it’s 4 feet. But it might not be 4 feet exactly. Just cut it to half the size of your room:) The size will depend on the width of your room, of course. And nope. The ceiling has been there a year and absolutely no sagging. It’s perfect
