By opening up to love, and hurt, and female energy, and learning, and the uncomfortable lessons - and came out the other side a new person. I've realized it's only our ego (hiding all the wrong ideas, convictions, patterns and programs) holding us back from getting to know what a woman really is, and from finding what we're truly looking for, while simultaneously becoming a person that deserves it. The sheer process of getting there, dries out efficiently any leftover traces of tears accumulated over the hopeless, ignorant era to the point it makes no sense to feel sad or sorry about yourself (or _fellow_ men) it's laughable.

I'm doing this!!!

[@chiefdoshamike772]

It does look good but I bet they are spot on with acoustic being garbage. The drywall carries no nrc and I 100% sure she never told you the truth on cost. But like I said it does look good and will still cost less than a drop ceiling. If you wanna help with acoustics you can get yourself some wall panels but it won't stop noise transfer from basement to main level.

[@CollinsCountry]

@@chiefdoshamike772 I wish I understood more about acoustics but I’m telling ya… this system looks and sounds amazing to us. As for bass sounds. We typically have a few dishes rattling upstairs. Unless you are in the kitchen you don’t hear it though.

[@daymoncleveland0622]

@@CollinsCountryif it sounds good to you, that’s all that matters! I love how accessible the utilities are.

Dude, ingenious love how your wife lifts you up too, you can tell how proud she is of you. It looks great...

+@DH-fo9dx thanks!

[@2BNamedL8r]

My immediate thought was, "Screw the ceiling...the best part was her support & encouragement!" Even better than that was everyone else's reaction. The Grinch's heart grew 3 sizes this day.

[@fromtheheartofanempath8886]

Love that you openly praise your husband. Wish all women appreciated their husband this way.. Kudos

[@bodaciousmos]

They would if the men were like this one. There is talk about how guys play women by being this amazing men while dating to become totally different men after marriage . Men put no effort into a relationship after they got her

[@dangerdan2592]

​@@bodaciousmosPeople say the exact same thing about women.

[@fromtheheartofanempath8886]

@bodaciousmos respectfully i disagree. I myself made all the effort in my relationship and marriage over 23 years, and it was still 95% one-sided with me making all the effort and getting criticised daily no matter what i did. I also know many other guys in the same situation. The stats also show this socially

[@jeffleake1960]

WOW A wife who is actually proud of her husband and doesnt call him a bumb ass man child ! How refreshing

[@CollinsCountry]

+@jeffleake1960 we appreciate each other:)

[@kylecasey7890]

Badass. Your husband really is smart. It looks painstakingly designed by someone who knew what they were doing, yet he just came up with that idea on the fly. Impressive for real

[@AzMetalScorpion]

Two things: 1, that's an awesome idea for a basement. And 2, great women like this this have my full appreciation and respect, because this is enough to warm any man's heart for a brief moment that will live on in his memories. 😀

Definitely a good job but essentially just ceiling tiles which are very common. Still a creative solution though 👏

I agree with the wife, he is an absolute genius! I’ll be sure to share that with my husband for our basement. ❤❤❤

@toobiasj I mentioned him in the comment above, it says "husband" she was operating the camera and was telling the story. So thanks for pointing out your error. Have a nice day

Seal around the edges of the sheetrock pieces. Do it however you wish. Tape, paint , etc etc. That way everytime you pull one down you’re preventing the sheetrock dust from doing what it did when you pulled it down and put it back up.

[@joebump7034]

I am a Carpenter 30 years I have to say what a great idea you had big big props 👌👍

Now there's a beautiful lady who actually appreciates her hardworking husband, may you live a long and happy life together

[@captainnofun6366]

I've been a structural engineer for almost 30 years and have never seen this. What a great idea! This could also be done using regular sawn lumber joists by putting a 1x3 or 1x4 on the bottom of the joists. I'll have to remember this.

[@paulwise6856]

Good idea, also no sound transfer through the joists

[@jakekallenborn6732]

Good idea thanks

[@grantperkins368]

Yep 😊

[@Apex8r]

This wouldn’t come from an engineer perspective, don’t worry. I’ve been a plumber for 30yrs and when I first saw these I hated them cuz that plywood is extra hard to drill. Supposedly it helps a lot with the noise above. However, I told a customer to do this exact thing over 20yrs ago in their custom home and everyone drooled at it in the basement. They also did it in other areas of the house. My previous owner put 1x cross sectioning the joists in the basement to install some asbestos looking tiles. I pulled it all down and went with the joists to make the brick fireplace pop!! Was always a great idea

[@paulriker5381]

OSB, not plywood. He would have been better off filling the openin with some dimensional lumber.

[@exploringwithdave5926]

I do have to say how nice it is to see a woman really show how much she digs her husband. Really nice.
