"He paid me in gold coins with off-white paint on them. Strangest thing."I once read somewhere that an older gentleman would hide his gold/silver in open cans of 1 gallon paint, in zip locks, in his garage. He didnt have a safe, nobody would be suspicious of the weight, and nobody would dump it out to check, smart.
Practical concerns...That's really interesting and pretty cool. I wonder why you don't see more of those? Something like that wouldn't be too hard to install if you were building a house from the ground up. It would probably also improve the fire protection if the safe sunk down into the ground.
You can build an elevator for $400!Practical concerns...
Depending on how the foundation is built or how the basement is set up... if the safe is stuck behind rebar and concrete walling if just a hole in the ground to descend into... how do you access it? Similar question if the closet portion is stuck in the attic or 2nd floor without access to it..
Liability is a concern too, those with young children know what I'm talking about. Curiousity is what drives them and if they get trapped either above the closet portion or underneath the safe if there's access from basement? I do not want to imagine what could happen
A booby trapped bait safe is where I go when I think of someone trying to steal my stuff. Something involving pointy sticks and piano wire.
Many older houses come with chimneys. I've seen several that have had them "filled in". Might be a good spot.
Sounds like my first, and second wife : )Back-up hand crank socket disguised as a central vacuum wall socket.....

Ya, but to be done right, you would have to follow the Egyptians plan and shoot the carpenter, architect, maybe even the building inspector to keep your secret.That's really interesting and pretty cool.

What's your point?Ya, but to be done right, you would have to follow the Egyptians plan and shoot the carpenter, architect, maybe even the building inspector to keep your secret.
None I guess. Call it an inside joke 2500 years too late.What's your point?
It's not a secret compartment if people know about it. Even the people who built it. Similar to "If I tell you I have to kill you." So, humor.What's your point?
