I've done lots of reading but little building as yet. Partially because of this one question...How safe is an underground house built using the PSP method during an earthquake? I understand the principal about it just moving along with the earth movement, but what about soils that experience liquification -is that the right word?? I'm wondering if anyone here had any experience and/or advice on building and living underground in an earthquake prone region. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

"Success is usually earned by persevering and not becoming discouraged when we encounter challenges. Paul Harvey, the famous news analyst and author, once said: 'Someday I hope to enjoy enough of what the world calls success so that someone will ask me, "What's the secret of it?" I shall say simply this: "I get up when I fall down" '
