re: #95 Gus

I heard a show on NPR about storm shelters in places like Oklahoma - one reason they don’t have more of them is because the soil’s high clay content. It makes cellars very prone to leaking water and you have to use special sealing techniques to prevent the leakage.

It’s not that much more expensive, either. But the reputation that cellars have for leaking water is one of the big stumbling blocks to convincing more people to build them.
