Hi Everyone:
I just wanted to share a minor gun vault experience that surprised me a bit. I have two vaults in my basement-a big 600 pound Cannon that I purchased a few years ago, and my original 150 pound vault I now use to store only ammo. I run a 30 pint dehumidifier in the basement at 60 percent(which will now go way down asap!), and have two 'goldenrod' type dehumidifier units- one in each of in the vaults. This weekend, I had to move my little vault with 600 pounds of ammo in it. It would not budge! So I took everything out of it to organize the ammo stash, and found that the dollar store moisture remover I put in there two months ago had over a pint of water in it! I didn't think these things really worked! And I thought my vaults were keeping things fairly dry! I have an electrical outlet in the big vault, and will have to buy something that works a bit better for the high humidity summer months, when my humidifier runs nearly non-stop.
Regards,
Costanza
