can anyone give me advice on changing out a drop ceiling to a normal ceiling. i recently bought a house that has an entire floor of drop ceiling tiles and i want to change it. i have about a 10" space b/w the upper floor joists and the tiles. Please help. I have no real idea of how to do it.

i know there is a couple plumbing pipes running across but they are small and attatched to the bottom of the joists of the upper floor. But there is still plenty of room below it. The only thing is about how to support the ceiling. obviously i can't just nail it up to the joists. so i guess i'm going to have to create a subfloor. any thoughts?
