I understand that it won't be that tough, I do actually have plenty of room
to work with. That was just an additional reason to do a tile ceiling, as I
still believe it will be easier. I just think the ceiling tile will look
better and will be cheaper based on the pricing estimates I did. Just
wasn't sure if I was sacrificing too much versatility by going that route.

A dropped ceiling is not that tough to install if you have a little
clearance. From the floor to the ceiling joists how much room do you
have?

I have a utility room that I am finishing. One of the last pieces is
what
type of ceiling to install. I originally was going to put in a drop
ceiling, but am now considering throwing up some 1x3s and attaching
ceiling
tile. My reasons are that it will be an easier install, cheaper and will
probably look nicer. My hesitation on this is that it would be nice to
have
the suspended ceiling in this room to easily be able to get at where the
electrical runs from the circuit box are, as the main circuit box is in
this
rooom and all the circuits in the house run from this room.

What are people's feelings towards having this easily accessible via a
suspended ceiling as opposed to having to remove some pieces of
"permanent"
ceiling tile if there were to be a problem/upgrade needed electrically?

Thanks,

Scott
