Have ripped out the entire economy section of 64sqm with interior walls, floors, and concrete slab. Now the slab is poured and complete, I was planning to tear down the ceiling and raise new interior walls but hit a snag. The ceiling consists of whole boards measuring 600x2400, but they are mounted directly against the roof trusses, meaning there is no furring strip in between. So, there is a risk that the insulation will fall down if the boards are removed.
I wanted to remove the ceiling so the electrician has easier access since some of the walls will be relocated. Additionally, I want to put up furring strips so that it's possible to secure both the new ceiling and also secure the interior walls. The old interior walls that were in line with the roof trusses were placed precisely along the roof trusses, but they will be moved, so something must be in place to attach them to.
What would you have done??
The house is a Myresjöhus from '88.

Now it turned out that I remove one row of ceiling panels at a time and follow up by screwing the sparse panel in place gradually to prevent the insulation from falling to the ground. I'm almost finished now, but it was more work than expected. I will attach the interior walls to the sparse panel in places where it's not possible to fasten them to a roof truss. After all, it's 28x70 every 30 centimeters, so it should be enough.
