###§%†~^¨¨   environment where you could find such  ¨¨^~†%§###

^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨  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   ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~†%

%†~^¨¨¨¨¨¨   hide unsightly appliances, engines,    ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~†%
