1. Figure that once I load a 750-800 pound safe full of ammo and toys it will weigh somewhere in the 1,000-1,500 pound range. Not sure if the floor in the 100 year old cabin I live in will support that.
Thinking I might have to jump under the cabin and reinforce the floor so it doesn't buckle under the weight. 
2. Really prefer the idea of having the safe in a more discreet spot. Trying to think of a way to hide something that damn big but it isn't easy. |
Definitely do this, you can find jack stands for this. We've got an old family farm home that has some foundation issues and in the basement, we've put a couple of big jack stands underneath some of the wooden beams going across the floor, that is, the big beams that support the floor, and then you put the wooden flooring over these beams, then the insulation and carpet or whatvever.
Anyhow, they work great.
