Very interesting, have you buried PC underground for extended periods
before? I'd be a bit leery of trusting PC to hold tons of dirt off of
my head, especially if it had been raining a lot.
UG homes are cool, but they can be depressingly dark. I guess with
enough solar tubes it wouldn't be too claustrophobic, and make sure
you have enough fire exits to keep the federales happy.
Good luck,
