I was just testing people to see if they knew what the he!! they were talking about.
I have a good friend who does it for a living and it is very common for non load bearing spans.
This ceiling is 22' x 17.5' with cinder block exterior walls, so this is a perfect candidate for metal.
The joists are true 2x12's and that is what they are being tied into.
That new light weight Sheetrock is sooo nice compared to the old heavy stuff.
