So that'* a blocked off ROOM under the stairs? Because if there'* no light in there and the flash on your camera is the only thing providing light (assuming that light bulb is off, which it would be because the safe would fall through the electrical), it would probably be a dark hole. Some light would get in from above, but not much (well, your flash would). If this is the case a PS wouldn't be as tough. It would be more possible to make it believable anyway, as long as the hole was convincing enough. But your flash would be an issue because it would still shine through the hole. :?

That'* definitely better, and probably the best you can do too. Much better to work with than before anyways.

wanna try Pete? I won't be able to get to it for a while.

Sure, no problem. It will take time though, and I'm busy as hell at work right now. I could do it after hours.

Darrel how long is he in vacation?

A little easier, and probably more believable, would be to chop it in as having fallen halfway through and wedged in. Like it had been dropped on a corner and was being held up by the joists on either side of the hole?

Yeah, that would be more believable, no matter how good my P-shop is, to break through that cross brace would be impossible. But a hole would be more of a shock.

Darrel, what do you think?
