Title: Guess what they sell at Lowe's?

With your Lowe's credit card you get 5% off, too.  Now I need to get the damn thing in the house.

No pity from me.
I live in a second floor apartment who's doors measure 5Ft 10 X 27 inches with a 90 degree turn on entering.
I can't have any furniture that doesn't come in pieces.
Not indoors anyway.    ;D

I did, but they only deliver curbside.  One guy with a flatbed and a forklift delivered it.  At least he put it in the garage.

Very cool.

I worked there for a while and unlike Home Depot, Lowes gave employees a 10% everyday discount.  At Christmas for a short period (5 days?) employees get an even greater discount (15% I think).   I bought my SxS frig just before I turned in my resignation.

Anyway, in metro Atlanta there is one small safe retailer that advertises, they'll handle load-in and load-outs regardless.   Of course I'm sure price is proportional to difficulty.   You might check with safe retailers in your area.

I just got two of the 8 gun Kiwk Draw racks for my pistol shelf.  Works great and really stores handguns in a compact format.  Now I have 3 of the 3 gun HySkore foam gun holders available for anybody who will pay shipping.

That was one thing about Thompson Center, wages sucked, but employees got 45% off anything T/C made.
When they had their annual clearance sale employees got first pick, what we left went to the public.

Damn that makes me miss the good old days. (Kinda) I was dirt poor, trying to get through college, but between my day job, (sales rep for a really high end ski shop) and my dream job (sponsered climber for Marmot) I was paying 40% below wholesale for most of my gear, IF I had to pay anything at all. Unfortunately all of the rest of my disposable income went to paying off my credit card everytime we would take a trip. (Which was frequent) So I had to shut that life down. I learned that the only way to stay in that game is to keep pushing the envelope. Unfortunately the envelope trys to kill you, and after several close calls of my own and losing a few friends all within a few months, I decided to back off.

Well, the safe's in the house and in its new home.  The wife and I did it with the help of a cheap appliance dolly (also from Lowe's) and a couple hunks of wood (which came with the safe in the form of a pallet).  Now I'm off to work before filling it.   ;D

Good work.  Mine's setting on three 2x4s, so it keeps it off the floor and makes it easy to get the dolly's back underneath it.

NOW!  You have to fill it up.   That's required.

Advertise on the liberal websites, tell them it's for anti gun research.
You should get enough to fill it with Barret's   ;D
