Oh how I wish this were mine...

Built a vault last Monday and Tuesday and snapped some pics with my phone as we were building it. This would make a sweet gun room[UZI]

After I shot in the shoe plates I started to weld the walls as they were being placed:

Usually I stand all the walls up and place the header first but since this was being built inside a gutted building, the maneuverability(sp?) was tough so we built three sides and left one side open to drive the forklift in to set roof panels:

Here's the finished product I do, contactor does all the finish detail work:

nice... I could see the mrs. coming in and telling me to slide it a little more to the left.

do you set the steel in the slab?

No the panels come from factory all prefabbed. All I do is stand 'em up, make 'em plumb and weld them together...sounds easy huh?

somehow I see that as a real P.I.A. if you forget the combo [LOL]

Not that I could ever really justify the cost, but just for grins; Ballpark for what something like that would cost? It is kind of funny when the vault costs more than the items inside, but value is determined by the owner.

Nice looking vintage Lincoln buzz box. Looks like its in pretty good shape.

I know where that is located.

Oh yes it will be mine![Muaha]

Yea that welder is awesome. I bought it a little over a year ago with only 25hrs. on it. I've used some of today's best welders with the newest technology and I still like this old Lincoln!!
