I relate to this thread. If I had it to do over, I would have built a gun vault into this house. It is easier than finding room for more than one safes.

I have built record vaults in school and commercial buildings my company built in the past. I have also built gun rooms/vaults into residences for friends. Calls for a 12 concrete block wall filled with concrete and a lightweight concrete ceiling over metal roof decking and firesafe lining. Most of the safe builders offer a door in a metal frame to install. The most interesting one was the last one--It used the 90 year old door from a bank vault. The bank was being replaced and the vault was to be torn down. The owner purchased it from the demo contractor for $200 and spent 500 having it rebuilt with new locking "stuff". It weighed over 3200 pounds in the frame and was 42" wide. But it is now in a secure gun vault.

Just tell the wife you are investing for the grand kids when purchasing more guns. Doesn't really work for me, but you may get more mileage out of it.
