    Yeah... Drywall sure doesn't sound very secure... I'm looking for fire and storm resistence as well. Safety and security all in one. The room will be about 150 sq ft.

    "I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."
