Damn, I need to help somebody do theirs so I will know how to do mine(concrete room, vault door).

I would take the help building a room, but mine involves removing the concrete floor of my three car garage. Then digging out the dirt to basement level, re-installing a structurally supported concrete floor/ceiling then a vault door from the basement. I doubt anyone is willing to do $15K worth of backbreaking work on weekends, so it won't get done for years.

The Panama Canal started with but a shovel full of dirt.
Have you seen those precast concrete vaults/shelters of different sizes for sale up on US 85 at I think 136th Ave on the east side of the HighWay across from the Dodge dealer ?

Yea, I have. Think they are made by Vaughn Concrete, they have a plant just east of there. Went to school with them in junior high.

If it's not round, structural issues can happen, when utilized underground.

I store some of my ammo in an old five-drawer steel filing cabinet.

Looking good! Must weighs a ton!

You should fill the directory cards on each shelf with a big "A" for ammo. That'd be funny.

word of advice, don't open the top drawer without having the bottom open too. NOT that i've ever had anything like that happen, personally. jest sayin.

Actually, I can open the top two drawers at the same time with the bottom three closed with no problem. The empty weight of the cabinet is close to 200 lbs, but I've also got some serious weight in the bottom two drawers to keep her steady.

I had no idea that filing cabinets were that strong.
