Another Safe - And An Ultimatum

When my collection expanded to three safes, my wife gave me an ultimatum.... One more safe and I sleep outside with the dog.... Well, to be fair, one safe is dedicated to a few firearms, her jewelry and important papers so I am not entirely out of control with my coin obsession. My coins are in Tupperware boxes in one of my safes. And it is slap full. So full that if the boxes aren't perfectly arranged, the door won't close.

So today I run across these Guardhouse display boxes and I can envision several beautiful displays. One for my seated collection. Another for my Colonial era collection. Gawd, they would be mouth watering beautiful in these display boxes...... Problem is.... That would require another safe. So I am posing the question. Do I bring home another safe and run the risk of getting booted to the doghouse?

Good luck with what ever you decide.

 

Just sleep in the "cave room". If need be.

 

Your dog is a nice animal, but is it willing to share its sleeping quarters with you? As to the Guardhouse boxes they look nice but do not appear to offer enough storage capacity to warrant a change in sleeping arrangements.

 

Are you buying it with coin money?

 

Isn’t all money coin money??

 

Another thought. Could you get a new safe with larger capacity and get rid of one of your current safes.

 

Buy the safe, it's always easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission Edited to add; I voted for "What are you? A blithering idiot?"

 

All of you guys are seeing a problem when there isn’t one, the solution is simple:

Buy the new safe and tell your wife it was the only way to keep her jewelry safe.
Trust me, she will backtrack on the ultimatum. The new safe is for her!

 

You have to ask that? The answer is obvious...buy the safe. The wife can adapt but the coins are unique.

You said it yourself "If my dog doesn’t like you.... Then I probably won’t either." Does your dog like your wife? If so, then you don't have to worry about her threatening his space.

What? Bribes don't work anymore? How about a nice Florida vacation in Orlando in early January?

"Oh look dear, a coin convention. Who could've seen that coming?"

 

My wife followed me to a gun show. After the gun show we went to an antique show in the same facility. She won a very expensive door prize at the antique show.

 

Buy the safe, with a nice piece of jewelry for her hidden inside. When you show her the safe and she starts to go off, open it and show her the prize. Might just work. If not, I hope it's warm where you live!

 

Kinda thought you were going to say she bought a gun herself, and threatened you with it when you tried to go to the next coin show...

 

This has promise…..

 

Is that a scene from "A Boy and His Dog"?

 

My wife is very handy with a gun. She went into a very popular gun store in Houston. They treated her like a dumb blonde. Of course that didn't go over very well. And, I was advised that the store is now off limits. I passed them at a gun show and was urged to stop. They now further understand why I will never buy from them again. Jeff, if she threatens I will take cover.
