Ceiling Support for Drywall
3
Hello all, I am new here and am just starting on fishing my basement.
I have a problem and need some advice. I have trusses in my basement that don't extend all the way to the wall, they are 12" - 16" away. The other problem is that the walls are already drywalled and the top of the framing isn't as tall as the bottom of the truss. So I need to come up with a support system for the edge of the drywall. I have attached pics to try and clear up some of the confusion.
