###&%*†=-¨  the basement is a man-made subterranean ¨-=†*%&###
##&%*†=-¨¨   environment where you could find such  ¨¨-=†*%&##
#&%*†=-¨¨¨   things as the furnace, the labyrinth,  ¨¨¨-=†*%&#

#&%*†=-¨¨¨  is nevertheless a way to bring a cave   ¨¨¨-=†*%&#

##&%*†=-¨¨   think of all caves as the same large   ¨¨-=†*%&##

##&%*†=-¨¨    hide unsightly appliances, engines,   ¨¨-=†*%&##
###&%*†=-¨  infrastructure (pipes and wells)... or  ¨-=†*%&###
##&%*†=-¨¨  to hide the true weight (purpose?) of a ¨¨-=†*%&##

#&%*†=-¨¨¨ environment. perhaps to grow mushrooms.  ¨¨¨-=†*%&#
