Thanks for all your comments.

The safe already has what I call stumps of about two inches in length that keep it off the ground. It looks like there were wheels once and, having had to move it a couple times so far, I WILL be adding wheels. I need a hydraulic car jack just to move each door!

Replacement, my other safe, a gun safe from Cabela's, has been lined with drywall and a carpet like material. I suspect very similar to yours.

Stan, I now live on a hilltop. My previous location was on the floodplain of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, both of which have a habit of spilling their banks and causing havoc in North Dakota and Manitoba.

Walter, I appreciate that. I am trying for a balance between esthetics and purposefullness.

Tony, it will have every dehumidifying system known to gun collectors. LOL! BTW Tony, I would like to add my voice to the chorus of well wishers on this BB. May you continue to exasperate the wife with your gun obsession for many decades to come. Please continue educating and entertaining us with your posts.

In my last house I had the safe in the basement. I believe that location was in a large measure, the cause of my concern about humidity. The past two years it has been located on the ground floor and the humidity has been much easier to manage despite moving to a more humid climate.

Also I no longer have a wife so I can decorate the house the way I want. Haha!

Regards,

James
