¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨  the basement is a man-made subterranean ###¨¨#¨##¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨  environment where you could find such   #¨##¨¨¨###
#¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨  things as the furnace, the labyrinth,   ¨¨###¨¨#¨#
##¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨            reptiles or graves.           ¨¨#¨##¨¨¨#

##¨¨¨###¨¨ often created in good faith, a basement  ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨
###¨¨#¨##¨  is nevertheless a way to bring a cave   ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
#¨##¨¨¨###    into your building, and cave things   #¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨###¨¨#¨#  with it. i've found that it's easier to ##¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨#¨##¨¨¨#   think of all caves as the same large   ¨##¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨###¨¨#    structure, it's just that all parts   ¨###¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨#¨##¨¨    might not be physically connected.    ¨#¨##¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨###¨     that's what you're inviting in.      ¨¨¨###¨¨¨¨

##¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨  the purpose of a basement is often to   ¨¨#¨##¨¨¨#
¨##¨¨¨¨¨¨¨   hide unsightly appliances, engines,    #¨¨¨###¨¨#
¨###¨¨¨¨¨¨  infrastructure (pipes and wells)... or  ##¨¨#¨##¨¨
¨#¨##¨¨¨¨¨  to hide the true weight (purpose?) of a ¨##¨¨¨###¨

#¨¨¨###¨¨#    (food or brews, tools) in a colder    ¨¨#¨¨¨¨#¨#
##¨¨#¨##¨¨  environment. perhaps to grow mushrooms. ¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨¨#
