#¨#¨#¨#¨##  environment where you could find such   #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨¨#  things as the furnace, the labyrinth,   #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨##  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.    #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨##    hide unsightly appliances, engines,   #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨##    (food or brews, tools) in a colder    #¨#¨#¨#¨#¨
