Gosh I wish I had read these ideas before I stashed my PM's, some are good ideas..This is what I did...I have the double sliding closet doors....the closet extends past the opening of the doors....I removed the sheetrock on the inside of the closet on the extension of the closet space...put some small shelves between the studs and instant storage space...you cant see the storage unless you virtually walk into the closet...it is not a walkin. I keep my loaded quail gun and handgun there also...about 36" from where I sleep.
i was doing some A/C maintenance for my friends widowed Mother a few years back....Boy did I find a cache of weaponry in the attic....apparently my friends Father was a hoarder of firearms...REAL NICE FOR HER of course she had no idea neither did my friend or any of his siblings that they were there.
