Hopefully when we build the famed house of the future I will be able to have a proper safe built in. One in an inconspicuous part of the floor for the NAS with a wee UPS and whatever important paper documents I need. Then one or two cabinets that are also part of the concrete pour for the slab. I'd like upright, but I suspect chest freezer style will be easier. Or I could just buy a proper safe, I suppose.
@Criggie The ones going TO Melbourne were great. They looked at the pile of stuff, looked at the stuff in the shed that I wasn't going to take, and said "nice workbench. We will put that in first"... it came in under the quote anyway, because I estimated accurately and they quote on ~20% over the estimate because most people have NFI. I used a tape measure and a spreadsheet.
Coming back, not so much. The original lot were not available, and the new ones screwed up. So the truck was half full when it arrived and they didn't have the quoted space left in the truck. So most of our stuff went. The rest sad in the unlocked garage for a week until they came back for the next run. And they bitched like genuine pussies about the tool boxes, and the drill press, and the workbench. Anyone would think a 100kg workbench was OTT.
Also, I made them part unload the truck so they could get my workbench in. They wanted to leave it behind and I started to get quite grumpy with them. Once I explained to their boss that I was quite happy to write them off as unable to carry out the move as quoted, that I expected a full refund of the deposit and that I would publicise their incompetence they became a little more reasonable.
@RoboKaren oh, it's also worth having cheap tools, it gives casual thieves something to run off with. And they are great for jobs where you want to misuse the tools. A $10 set of screwdrives, sharpened, gives you an excellent cheap chisel or odd-tip screwdriver. Trying to extract a tiny pentagon-head screw with bar? File down a $1 screwdriver...
I found a socket head screw like this, about 2mm across the vertical line. Which only used half the shallow indent, so it was a bit of a pain to get out (I am guessing that that was the intent)
