I've been beating myself up for a long time.

I have a two px border left and right on a paragraph box and want to put two buttons below that - so have tried a number of ways using a container to then put a button in that - but then a I get a spacing gap below

If I simply put a content button in a column blow then I'm unable to add a border to that column.

If the attached approximates the intended layout, it may help. It was achieved as follows.

Three rows were created
1. One column
2. Two columns
3. One column

The bordered paragraphs were put in items 1 and 3 above.

A container was put in each of the columns in item 2 above, having the classes of 'left' and 'right' respectively. The 'left' one was given a border:left, and the 'right' one was given a border:right'.

Those 'left' and 'right' containers each contain a button floated 'center'.
