Vaughn-
I used 1/2" 4x8 exterior glued particle (chip) board (I screwed it to the
joists), then sealed with Kilz shellac, caulked the seams and painted
(primed and finish--my wife helped with the painting). Can hardly seen the
seams and with the blown-in insulation above, looks and works great here in
Montana. Not sure but I think it came in under $10 per 4x8 sheet.

Subject: Re:
I'm wrestling with the same problem right now. I need to put a ceiling in a
32 x 40 shop with insulation above the ceiling in the rafters. I've
considered a drop ceiling, plain plywood, or plywood paneling installed
backside down. What I'm really looking for is something that looks like
ceiling tile, comes in 4 x 8 sheets, is light, fire retardant, costs $10 a
sheet, and can be nailed and/or glued directly to the bottom of the joists.
Is there such a material?
Vaughn
