Finishing my basement off this summer to make some more room in this house but I'm stuck on what to do for the ceiling. For the family room part, a drop ceiling will work. I'm not crazy about it, but will do the job unless you guys can help me with a better idea to keep access to what's above. However, the real concern is the bath.......
I have a 1/2 bath in the basement now, but it's in a terrible spot, and elevated to meet a cesspool drain that really shouldn't have solids put down it. I'm moving the bathroom and putting in a saniflo upflush that will run to the actual septic system and making it a 3/4 bath.
With 88 inches of height from the concrete to joists, I'm tight on room but to the best of my figuring, should work fine with a sheetrock ceiling. However, I have one major junction box that can't be changed easily (garage feed, 6 ga) that's going to fall right over the vanity in the bath.
In all, I'm looking for a good idea to be able to conceal access to this junction box and go with sheetrock, or else another idea for doing the entire ceiling in this bath that will grant me access that the ill placed box needs.
Thanks guys,
