I have a problem... just another one to add to my list, heh!
But someone here must be versed in the logistics I need to know.
I purchased a gun safe for hand guns. But, awk! I have no where to attach the darn thing! My house is 200 years old, the logs, needless to say, although solid are not in a position to place a safe. It is very "open concept living" LOL. Can't have someone walk in and stare straight at a safe.
To put it in a closet upstairs (all under the eaves) would require I get on my hands and knees to unlock and access. Not ideal with my bad back.
So to the basement we go. Stone walls - again all exposed to view for anyone down there, but at least I could put a set of shelves in front of it that could easily be moved.
Obviously the anchors need to be into the rock not the cement mortar around it but how deep/long do the anchors have to be to prevent ripping out and or carry the weight? I'm not required to keep my ammo there, just the guns.
The basement is still not ideal as it is damp, but they have gizmos to keep them dry inside.
