SAFE!!!!

The original owner of our home fabricated black powder rifles in our enormous workshop/garage. We have lived here for just about 10 months. Any of you who have come to visit us have received "the tour". On "the tour" we always share our super cool, built-in, concrete reinforced, walk-in, gun safe. Then we say; "but we can't open it". It was open, and empty, when we moved in. But before we put anything in it, we wanted to make sure we could open it again. We couldn't. We have the combination, but no matter how many different ways he tried, and no matter how many different websites he went to, Brent could not get it open again. We had decided it was much safer locked than unlocked, as far as the kids were concerned, so we just left it alone. We figured that when we had an extra $500 lying around, we would get a locksmith out to open it for us.

Today, Brent decides it would really be the best place for food storage, and he gets a hankering to have it opened. (We don't have $500 hanging around, but apparently, that was suddenly beside the point.) He found a "safe specialist" online and gave him a call for a quote, etc. The man gave him a few simple instructions, and with the combination we have had taped to the safe door for 10 months, Brent opened the safe in two minutes. 10 MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN LIVING HERE, THINKING IT WOULD BE SOME HUGE EXPENSE, AND IT WAS OPENED WITH A SIMPLE PHONE CALL. Brent said it sounded like the guy got calls from people with "hopelessly locked safes" all the time. Anyway, its open. Anyone need to rent space in a gun safe? Your weapons will be safe and insulated right next to all of our wheat.

He is so triumphant:
And seriously, the thing is ridiculously huge:
