    Are the lattices that hold the ceiling tiles sturdy enough to hold that much weight? That's a lot of ceiling to cover.

    I had no idea there was such a thing as 'lightweight sheetrock'.

    I have the same issue, only my brats fall thru the ceiling taking tiles or the clear plastic fluorescent light covers w/them. I want to get rid of the dropped ceiling and tiles completely, and renovate the basement, but not sure what the requirements are.
