Default Safe

[I have a safe in my closet. I could have bolted it down, but it weighs over 100 lbs and I didn't think it was necessary. I just put things in front of it, so it's not visible.

QUOTE=McClendons;2317485]I have a new constuction house in the Village of Lake Denham. I am hoping to bolt down a small Sentry safe in the one of the bedrooms using something like Red Hat fastners or Tapicon bolts. In researching, I ran across a couple of questions I am hoping someone will have insight on.

Does anyone know if the Villages uses normal rebar based concrete slabs, or have they gone to Post Tensioned Concrete? Clearly it would be a disaster to drill into an Pre Tensioned cable, so am very concerned there. I would only need to drill at most 1.5 to 2 inches deep, so not too worried about plumbing etc that should be deeper, but from research it looks like tension cables can be any depth.

For anyone that has installed a safe, any insights on where and how you intstalled yours? I tried searching, but using the word "safe" got me anything from AEDs, golf cars, restaurants, etc. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
