Well, after do some minor damage to my back and the fact that my wife is home now, the safe project slowed down to a crawl. The replacement of furniture in the house took over coupled with other items that life brought to our attention.
So now, the safe is semi finished and yesterday I finished cleaning up the area where the safe gets to call home. Today when my son comes over and we will be putting it back into its permanent (at least till I retire and move out of Orefornia or Caligon) home. Over the next few posts, I will just be posting images.
I hope it inspires others to not settle on DRYWALL for a set of false securities of so called Fireproofing of your safe. Protect your guns and remove them from that corrosive environment.
My next project will be replacing the drywall in my other safe with this product. Since the cost is not much different, I will probably buy the Zirconia grade with a service temperature of 2600 °F (1430°C) and a continuous use limit of 1350 C / 2461 F. Maybe even change and spend a little extra on the High Density Ceramic Board at 2300 F. Gun safe manufacturers are doing us a disservice by installing drywall as fire proofing. The cost for the ceramic cloth is not that much more. They just want to charge US a premium.
