I am currently re-modeling a bathroom in my Northern VA home and I came across some dead space when I was ripping down dry wall. Maybe it because I am weird, or because when I was a kid I actually visited Anne Franke's family hide-away from the Nazi's in Amsterdam, but my first thought was, "OH!! I could make this trap door and actually hide stuff in there." The way the walls were there was no way you could sfigure out this dead space was there unless you built the house.

Once I started to look at the logistics, and the fact that the wife would not approve of such trap door in our master bathroom, I nixed the idea.

Still, a concealed storage area, whether its for firearms, cash, extra DVD's of "the Matrix," or what have you, is a very cool idea! Please, if you dont mind, post some pictures.
