That would mean the cables are at least 4" from the top surface of the slab. The anchors they used were probably 1-1/2" long and certainly no more than 2".

Besides, if you've ever drilled into concrete, you know it instantly if you hit rebar or one of those cables. :shock:
Don't water lines also run through the slab at some areas?
Yes, but I saw and photographed my house being built. I know where they are and that they're very deep below the surface of the slab.

Re: Links for gun safe info in the works

I watched and photographed my house being built from the time they scraped the ground until I took possession. Then I had my safe delivered and bolted down.

The cables in my foundation are far deeper than they had to drill to set those anchors.
