I am doing a small room in my basement which will be sheetrocked. In
the past I have used new-work hi-hats, but I think it would be easier
to use old work hi-hats for 2 reasons.
1) Can put up ceiling first then cut hole instead of cutting out hole
before installing.
2) Can remove hi-hat to gain access to ceiling.

Anyone have inputs? Any disadvantages in doing this?
