As I recall, the man told how long he has been living there, think he said about 6 years, not sure though. Those other pics maybe were taken before that and sat around for a few years?

No idea and it was simply speculation on my part. He could have lived in any nook and corner of the dilapidated structure.

It is a very big complex.

Somewhere is a corner of that facility that is doubling as a toilet I would guess.

Wonder if his dogs get rabies shots? At least with the dogs there should not be a rat problem in his living area.

Does he have heating in winter? Lot of questions, few answers.
