#¨¨####¨¨¨ 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   ¨#¨######¨

¨#¨¨######    hide unsightly appliances, engines,   ##¨¨¨¨#¨¨#
##¨#¨¨¨¨¨¨  infrastructure (pipes and wells)... or  ¨#¨¨¨##¨##
