After the infamous house fire incident at 14 Branchland Court in January 2014, Christian Weston Chandler, his mom, Clover and Snoopy, and the lone surviving cat stayed briefly with a (deeply unfortunate) friend, and then moved into a temporary rental house. The rent was paid by their insurance company while the repairs to 14BC were being made. After about a year, they moved back into their original abode.
Based on GPS coordinates that diligent Christorians found in the EXIF data of a photo which Chris submitted to the Lego Awesome Alliance competition page[1], the house appears to be located in Barboursville, VA, a small unincorporated community on the outskirts of Charlottesville. However, Chris still seemed to be receiving mail at his old address, as shown in his gifts and giftcard begging on Facebook, and on shipping labels on boxes seen in photos taken within the rental house[2].
It's not known exactly what the Chandlers managed to save of their hoarded possessions, but Chris seemed to have brought with him his PS3, at least one of his 3DS, and the melted ruins of his Lego "replica" of Manchester High. Soon after settling in, Chris's days became dedicated to feeding his financially crippling Lego addiction, on which thousands of dollars were spent. Photos of the interior taken shortly after the Chandlers moved in depicted an accumulation of boxes and an already-filthy carpet. The house also had internet access and a computer, which Chris eagerly used to conduct the usual Facebook shenanigans and order Lego online.
By June 2014 the signs of Chandler habitation were highly apparent, as observed when Chris posted photos of his merchandise on eBay with rodent droppings clearly visible on the carpet, the existence of which Chris later denied despite extant proof. Between Barb's hoarding and Chris's nonchalance about living in abject filth, the fate of the rental house itself looked grim, and considering Chris's persistent ability to fail to learn from his mistakes, it could have easily burned down just as 14BC did, or at least get major complaints from the next group of poor souls to rent it. During their Rental House Tour in August, Catherine and her cousin Al observed mounds of trash and dogshit. It is not yet known how the landlord responded to the state of the home after it was vacated by the Chandlers.
On 6 November 2014, while raging over a small brushfire on YouTube, Chris accidentally revealed his address as "Flintstone Drive." Despite this divulgence, Chris seems to have escaped serious trolling.
On 3 December 2014, Chris announced he was expecting to move back into his "renovated house" in the next "couple of weeks". Events at year's end required Chris to relocate to a temporary home, Albemarle Regional Jail, but this detour proved to be only a minor impediment. By January 2015, Chris and his mother were safely ensconced back at 14 Branchland Court.

The house and the Chandler cars, June 2014.
The house at night.
Rodent droppings on the carpet.
The bathroom, seemingly lit artificially at night...
And during the day, with more light than anybody wants.
