Again moving through the empty rooms of former apartment.
And back to the lobby, which indeed was some kind of a lobby. The cans and the torn down roof actually hint at a renovation having started. For one reason or another it was interrupted.
And that has been quite a common story on my explorations.
The wallpaper rolls tell the same story. Somebody has started but given up.
Crushed floor tiles.
An oven on the terrace.
Entering yet another apartment. The thing on the left is also a stove, yet a far more interesting model than the standard ones in Finnish kitchens.
As the apartments had been constructed using the original frame of the house, their layouts were often somewhat strange.
For some reason I am once again facing the lobby.
The walls have been stripped to pure board and electric outlets are missing. It looks more and more like a renovation to me.
Very random furniture.
The sections in this apartment were separated with this very light wall.
Looks like a parents’ guide.
And a baby carriage box. The inhabitants of this apartment have been getting some happy family news.
A magazine promoting a spiritual event in Kuortane, Southern Ostrobothnia. That is probably the most conservative and religious part of this country.
The inhabitant of this apartment has left a lot behind.
A book about building a house, it seems.
And a bag of Veljekset Keskinen, the most famous ‘village store’ in Finland. This means a huge and pompous shopping center in the middle of nowhere. Probably one of the most Southern Osthrobotnian things on this planet.
The funny thing about this apartment was, that there was a newspaper order bill from 2002 addressed to someone in the same municipality as the village store. It is more than an hour away.
Now we’re getting to it. I hope that will make me high enough.
But if it doesn’t, I will have to leave the ground floor and go one up.
