Gun Safe Advice

I've seen long concrete anchors & lag bolts w/anchors used to secure them to the floor as well

I would rather pay someone to do it. Don't have the tools or that skill set

And pay them again when you decide to change locations or move?

Buy the tool(s) once, have them for life. Anchoring anything into concrete is not rocket surgery.

And? I want it done right the first time.

Whatever floats your boat.

Some Home Depots rent hammer drills.

It is so easy even a Jared can do it.

LoL.

Quite some time back I had a wood working project, I think fitting a door in a frame. No matter, after buying a couple new tools that didn't work, I remembered an old plane I had bought years earlier from an antique store as a wall hanger. Turns out the 1925 or 1945 (can't remember) Stanley plane was the ultimate tool for the job. Point being I didn't have to hire someone.

A light bulb will do the same thing the "dehumidifiers" do for far less money.

Yup. Old school filament bulbs work best. You need the heat.

A lot of safes have electrical outlets inside. Just plug the cord into an outlet and there's a minimal power strip in there. I have a golden rod. I do need to find a light kit though. And I DON'T want any of those "wireless" kits. Since I have power in there, I don't want to have to be replacing batteries.

I've had a cheap light in mine for about 2 years, haven't replaced the batteries yet.

I got a nice little fluorescent light in mine that runs on AA batteries.

My issue has been mounting.

Exactly. Raising the ambient temperature lowers the relative humidity. Desiccant is how to lower the absolute humidity.

This too

Velcro yo.

 

[Younggun]

I hadn't though of that. I guess it should stick to the fuzzy liner in the safe.

I have a load of 2"+- strip of it. both sides. You're welcome to as much as you need.

Oh yeah, it's the stick on type too.
