<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin, post: 1301274, member: 10681&quot;]Appreciate all the feedback.&nbsp; A few things:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; My hours are crazy, so a safe deposit box isn&#039;t really an option - if I ever want to see my coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; I live in Houston, so humidity is ALWAYS an issue.&nbsp; Crime generally is also pretty bad, although the neighborhood in question is pretty good.&nbsp; Many of my coworkers (in other parts of town) have had breakins.&nbsp; I have a good idea of the type of security system I need to prevent / stop breakins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>3. My thought was to build some sort of hidden closet to hold a safe.&nbsp; Not quite on the &quot;hiddenpassages&quot; level, but along those lines.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>4. I&#039;m also a little reluctant to build something in.&nbsp; i figure the best defense is making sure no one, particularly construction workers, even knows that I have a safe.&nbsp; So whatever I get I think I should have it put in after the fact.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>5. I almost feel like the experts are unstoppable, and that I&#039;m better off installing a solution to get the run of the mill scumbag that might break in, and save some cash.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been looking at one of these:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.brownsafe.com/features_Fire_&amp;_Burglary_Safes/F&amp;B_sizes_SingleDoor.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.brownsafe.com/features_Fire_&amp;_Burglary_Safes/F&amp;B_sizes_SingleDoor.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.brownsafe.com/features_Fire_&amp;_Burglary_Safes/F&amp;B_sizes_SingleDoor.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A few questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. How big do you guys think I should go?&nbsp; I have most of my collection now in a 3 cu ft. staples safe, and certainly need more space.&nbsp; but I&#039;m wondering if I need to go all the way to 30 cu ft.&nbsp; I will eventually inherit my dad&#039;s very large collection, so I definitely need room for growth.&nbsp; Cost for a larger size seems relatively small, and am inclined to max out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Is external fire proofing more economic than the above?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
