[edit] Underground housing

Does anyone have a picture of one of these cave houses they could post? Sounds really intriguing! Infilms 22:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I have always liked the idea of living underground and it's great to see what doing so might actually look like Infilms 10:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Underground homes/ cave name fix

These homes are actually called Dugouts they are not just for homes, the church is a dug out and there are several stores in the dug out set up. yes by definition they are caves but they are called dug outs to the the town and to all those who know of them.

And they are quite comfortable I have lived in two. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolviechickie (talk • contribs) 02:23, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
