Cave Homes
I just graduated as a Civil Engineer. I have always had this idea of building artificial cave homes.
Basic idea is inserting a 'cartridge' underground a lot like an RV with all the kitchen/bath/power/AC ect. Then build artificial cave living space around it. (inside can be pleasant home, mainly out side look as though its a natural cave)
My question is what are the basic issues I need to investigate? this is what I have thought of.
- drainage
- sealant/barrier
- materials that will not deteriorate
- construction methods
- equipment needed
- artificial rock cave? how does the zoo do it any body know? wood/chicken wire/plaster
