Cave Homes for Teacher Families?

Looking at these great images made me think that CCA might be able to fit half their staff families in the bank under the school…

“Curtis, Deborah and their three children — Kian, Perry and baby Theodore Wesley — live in a cave, a 17,000-square-foot gouge in the earth left by a 1930s sandstone mine. It’s Tom Sawyer country here in Festus, Mo., just a few miles from the Mississippi River, and the Sleepers showed their adventurous side by making their home 45 feet under a forest (and a neighbor’s home).”

    This article reminds me of the fascinating cave dwellings in the Cappadocian region of Turkey. Years ago, I was able to visit some of these homes as well as underground cities which housed persecuted Christians.

    Wow, I’ve never heard of the place or seen anything quite like that. Thanks for the link! I’m reminded slightly of the rock churches in Ethiopia:
