Question:

I have just completely gutted my kitchen. A friend tells me that I must frame the walls before dropping the ceiling. Is this true?

Answer:

If you already have walls there, they have to be on a frame of some kind so unless you plan on something out of the ordinary, you shouldn't have to.
