Safe Placement

[twitchyfinger]

If you guys ever want a huge bag of desiccant for your safes stop by any Harley shop. Harley Davidson motorcycles are shipped in a crate, sealed in plastic with a couple big ol bags of desiccant inside about the size of a loaf of bread. if you go to your local HD dealership and ask em real nice for one or two bags and most of em will give em to you for FREE!!!!!

Concrete is not a vapor barrier. If they didn't put a vapor barrier down before pouring the concrete you might want to put one down under the safe before you bolt it down.

If the Harley thing doesn't pan out (great tip though) this is what we use in our lab. You can bake it several times, and it changes color to let you know that it's absorbed moisture. You can also buy the white stuff (non-indicative) if it's cheaper, and mix in some of the indicator to keep an eye on it.

I would not put a firearm safe in a basement.
Washer hoses burst, sewers flood and water runs down hill.
