Living underground is a cool idea. I've heard the house creating process is quite boring. People experience a breakthrough when creating a house. Their work is piling up. They are literally carving out a place in history.

@adeleweiss81306 жыл бұрын
A huge amount of the Outback sits on the Great Artesian Basin - the largest underground 'sea' in the world. They say much of central Australia was once covered by the ocean which gradually sank into underground caverns. Aquatic 'dinosaur' bones have been found out there and I myself have picked up fossilised seashells. They use bores to pump it to the surface and then it's purified in the local desalination plant. Water is therefore quite expensive in Coober Pedy, compared to other places in Australia.

Don’t listen to this idiot! Coober pedy has a lot of homes above ground, rooms aren’t made with small bulldozers we will blow up the area we want to expand and suck out the material using a blower. Sometimes they’ll use a bobcat to cleanup. They don’t all have pillars either not one of our dugouts has pillars. My family has been in Coober pedy since 1960 and I’ve never heard of any significant earthquake.

You're wrong to say that this is the only place in the world where this happens. I live in a cave in the South of Spain with a ten-foot thick rock roof and metre-thick walls. There are literally tens of thousands of caves in the Granada/Jaen area of Andalucia. There are cave bars, restaurants and hotels. Also in Turkey they have entire cities underground. My cave cost me about the same as a new car would and I don't pay any air conditioning bills and hardly anything for heating.

Most do have windows at the front next to the entrance. I don't know what this guy is talking about. Mine had a kitchen window and a small window in the laundry by the 'back door', which was adjacent to the front door. There aren't generally any windows in the bedrooms, which takes some getting used to, but it's great for sleeping in - no light and no noise.
