Ed:

E I am planning to redo my basement. Now ceiling covered with ugly
E boards. What options do I have for ceiling, I don't want to do
E drywall.Any advice, please

Whatever you do don't use paneling! The stuff will sag. Saw this in
a basement of a house we looked at to buy.

Others suggested drop ceilings - I would tend to agree. Will be much
easier to run any wiring and get to plumbing, HVAC, etc. If you
really need to get the ceiling tight use a flexible tile.

Another option would be some sort of do-it-yourself variation of the
dropped ceiling: a large panel is supported by wood 1x's. Screw the
1-by's into the joists for eventual removal (see previous paragraph).
