>>BTW - What's the story on the vault?
I didn't have enough guns to keep a straight face while calling it an armory
When I lived in TO I had a cheap metal gun cabinet bolted to the wall, a good alarm, and neighbors on the police force. At the new house I have an alarm but it's too far out in the sticks for fast police response. I figured I needed a serious gun safe but was a bit alarmed at the cost. They're not so bad until you add shipping.
No problem -- I always wanted a walk-in gun room.
When the foundation was being poured I had a couple of extra walls added -- 12" walls, welded rebar and a couple of hundred pounds of ball bearings and carbide chips in the mix. A foot of concrete on top and a 1900 pound vault door finished it off.
Predictably, now I have no money to buy guns.
