Hello everyone, I'm new to these forums and I'm hoping someone can give me some advice or direction with finishing my basement.
I'm trying to maximize ceiling height as much as possible but some of the air ducts hang down and prevent me from raising the drop ceiling as high as I'd like.
The first three pictures are of the crawl space. As you can see the previous homeowners built a box to support the duct tubing that goes into the crawl space. I'd like to completely eliminate the box. I don't know what kind of options I have here. Does the duct tubing need to have such a large diameter?
The last three pictures are of the ceiling in the main part of the basement. Are there different duct pieces that I can get that are more low profile?
As I mentioned before, I'm trying to raise the drop ceiling as high as I can. If anyone could give me some direction, I'd greatly appreciate it!
