Absolutely, laser levels and drop ceilings go together like PB & J.

I just don't know if laying textured wall paper (nothing aggressive, grasscloth pattern) under the brackets would cause any issues. I really don't think so because not worrying about straight cuts at the top and bottom of the paper (we are also doing wainscoting) would make the project much easier

I have never done it before but I am a good DIY'er. I framed up the basement and now drywall, and am onto finishing the second room. In the family room we want to do textured wallpaper and wainscoting, so I'll only be papering the top half on the wall. It's a grasscloth texture, so no pattern to match.

I dunno, it doesn't quite look above 32°
