.&&.&.&.&. 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. &.&.&.&..&

..&.&.&.&. 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 &.&.&.&..&
..&.&.&.&. Building. &.&.&.&.&&

..&.&.&.&. Less Intense... Made To Store Things &.&.&.&.&&
.&&.&.&.&. (Food Or Brews, Tools) In A Colder &.&.&.&..&
