Ceiling is drywalled, but was never taped and filled.
My plan is to cut out two strips of drywall where the rails need to be mounted, then fill in the holes afterwards.
If absolutely necessary, I will add a few cross braces, ie steel I beam, or tube to give extra support for the joists, but would prefer not too.
Overall, I do not have trusses going in the right direction.
