framing a dropped ceiling
I am interested in ideas on how to frame a dropped ceiling across the entirety of my first floor. I am looking to drop the ceiling with 2x6's to hide plumbing and electrical lines. How do I best secure the 2x6's to the joists?

When you say "dropped" ceiling, are you referring to a suspended ceiling, or just lowering your ceiling and installing sheetrock? How much drop are you looking at?
