I think you've helped to put my mind at rest regarding it's placement.
My biggest concern wasn't so much of could the floor hold a moving object but more so the dead weight of a stationary object for a considerable ammount of time. Walking across a floor puts a lot of stress on the floor but it is momentary.
But you've all made very common observations that I simply overlooked because I've been focusing on just the safe, not all of the other items I have already upstairs that are of considerable weight. Dressers fully loaded with clothes and a TV on top, recliner in the entertainment room with my big butt in it and occasionaly a 70lb lab that thinks he's a lap dog that only weighs 10 lbs. A bathtub full of water.
Garry, I'm not sure about if the joists are running with the outside load wall but the closet is in the corner of the room. The house was built in 1985.
Thank you all!
