Ed,

I think we have already gone through this. The house is going to have a sprinkler system and an ADT alarm system. I am hoping that there will not be any fires, but I'll install a drain in the floor like skeet did. I'm going to have another room in the basement for my aquariums with a drain in the floor, so why not one in the gun room. Even though the gun room will have a vault door to it, I'm still going to keep the guns in their individual safes. The safes are supposed to become air tight once they are heated, so hopefully that will cover the issue too. If I really start to worry about it, I'll get some insurance on the collection, but I seriously doubt I am going to worry that much about it just yet (i.e., my daughter just turned 1, so I have several years before she becomes careless and starts playing with matches).

Buckhunter,

I am looking at the vault door from Browning. If you purchase it before they pour your foundation and basement walls, you can ask them to pour it right in place and make a room with 4 cement walls and a vault door. The door looks almost like a regular 6 panel door except for the keypad or dial on it. I think my wife and I have finally decided on a plan that we like. Now, we just need to find a lot we like and a builder we can afford.
