14 Branchland Court is the domain of the Chandler clan. It is a white (now yellowed to ivory) two-story house trimmed in pink (faded from a dark red) with three bedrooms on the outskirts of Ruckersville, VA. The property is near the intersection of Branchland Court and Westwood Drive, facing northwest. The house itself reeks of the early 1980s, having tacky fake shutters and vinyl siding; it probably hasn't been re-sided in years. As a result of its dated look, in addition to the decaying gardens and overgrown yard, it has done a number on local property values.
As of March 2009, all space not used for walking or sleeping appears to be packed full of junk. However, in earlier pictures (those of Chris's 20th birthday, for instance), the house was once quite tidy. In his video tour, Chris also keeps referring to the fact that "things got cluttered," suggesting that the house has grown fuller and fuller in the past decade. "Clutter" is, of course, a horrible understatement. The house is packed with shit; the former living room is unusable, with junk filling the entire space and reaching within two feet of the ceiling. Similarly, other rooms are full of junk, but rather than solid blocks of shit, there are small crevices with chairs, TVs, and other furnishings.
THAT IS MY HOUSE has revealed that Chris's parents are aware of the house's condition (what with the junk being both a health hazard and a fire hazard), and are fearing that Chris's video tours may elicit the attention of the Health Department of Greene County (Email them!) resulting in their home being condemned. Due to several calls, an official investigation is being launched in conjunction with Social Services by the Health Department of Greene County.
Chris has claimed to have put forth some effort to clean up the house as of early 2010, but the "back-breaking" tasks he describes are just vacuuming and scrubbing the floors. He talks about them as it he is making great progress in fixing the disaster area that is 14 Branchland Court, but his efforts appear to be just enough to keep him from slipping on cat shit on a regular basis.
History
Chris lived at 14 Branchland Court from the time he was born until his family moved him to the Richmond area, some distance away, in order to escape the Greene County public school system's attempts to pull him out of mainstream schools. After the move, which took place in the fall of 1992, Chris and his father lived in the Richmond suburbs while his mother held down the fort in Ruckersville so she could continue working for the local electric power authority until retirement.
The Chandlers moved back to the Ruckersville house in 2000 after Chris graduated high school. In a video released in May 2010, Chris claims that his family tried and failed to sell the house at some point, and would have stayed in the Richmond suburbs if they had been able to find a buyer. (He attributes the house's failure to sell to a conspiracy between local realtors and the Greene County school system, but as this article will explain, it probably went unsold for more practical reasons.)
The Tour
- Main article: Tour of Chris's House
In two videos uploaded on 27 March 2009, Chris provides a tour of his house and the property that it's on. Like his own room, Chris's entire house is a disaster area. Several rooms are so full of shit that Chris cannot enter them.
What follows is a brief description of the rooms and other areas of 14 Branchland Court.
First floor
In the north corner is what Christian describes as "the music room," which is now primarily the domain of Barbara Chandler, who frequently sleeps there. A small bathroom is directly in front of the stairs leading up to the front door. On the other end of a short hallway is the utility room, in which the family keeps a refrigerator in addition to the usual washer and dryer. The family room (possibly in the west corner) has been claimed by Bob Chandler, who apparently sleeps there as well. If Chris's parents ever had, or used, dedicated bedrooms in the house, they have yet to be filmed.
Second floor
Chris's room is in the northern corner of the second floor. Across the hallway, near the eastern corner, is a filthy bathroom, which apparently has not been cleaned in years, as implied by the dark brown or green mold growing in the shower and the peeling of the veneer on the cabinetry. The kitchen and dining area are apparently near the southern corner and southwestern wall. The computer Chris uses for Internet access seems to be in this part of the house, as well as a Christmas tree left up year-round. Tellingly, Chris has actually photographed himself with Officer Nasty and dildos in the kitchen, and has even mass debated over a webcam feed. This implies that Snorlax and Bob never actually leave the areas in which they sleep and spend their days there, leaving Chris free to do whatever he wants. The living room, packed with boxes and shit, is across the stairway from Chris's room.
Yard
On first examination, you'd be forgiven for mistaking Chris's yard for Silent Hill. It consists of some simple crossed wood planters near the curb and some small shrubs and trees out front. The plants in the planters have long since died, probably due to a foul stench poisoning the air. The backyard contains a shed, and a small platform leading to a back entrance. The shed is full of shit, most notably a car, and was once the place where the Lumberjack would tinker with machines. After that, there are some trees and the pen where Patti once played. Her doghouse still stands, and she is buried nearby. At some point, a tree branch fell on the grave. Being the pansy-ass he is, Chris cannot muster the strength to pick the damn thing up. Some have speculated that this is divine intervention, in order to keep Patti's body safe from Chris and his fur-fag tendencies.
However, in earlier pictures (when Chris was less huge and he had yet to start the fuck quest), we can see that the yard used to be quite lush and beautiful, with a variety of flowers planted around the area, the grass clipped, and healthy trees. Many people speculate that over the years Chris's parents have gotten too ugly or too lazy to care for their garden leaving the area quite barren.

| Chris on contacting him, CWCipedia | ||
If you would like to send a letter to Christian, or perhaps mail his parents some of the many NOODZ he has posted on the internets in recent times, you can contact him at:
- Christian Weston Chandler,
- 14 Branchland Court,
- Ruckersville,
- VA 22968-9545,
- United States of America
NOTE:
- Based on previous experience with mail, it is likely that one of two things will happen to the letter should you choose to send it: 1) It will be intercepted by Chris, who apparently takes his parents' mail on a regular basis, or 2) Barbara and Bob will receive it, and dismiss it as old news (reports show that they have read some of the letters and ignored them).
Chris will respond to fan mail, provided there's a return address on the envelope.
Visiting
Visits of 14 Branchland Court, at least until Chris inherits the house and promptly trades the deed to a troll for some magic beans so said troll can found the Christian Weston Chandler Museum of Fail, are ill-advised. While a troll who does manage to make it to the front door will probably not be assaulted by Chris, they will most likely face Chris as he calls for his elderly parents to fight his battle or perform a Curse-ye-ha-me-ha.
To date, Chris has extended personalized invitations to Clyde Cash, Liquid Chris, and the staff of Asperpedia to come to his house, so that he might kill them. To date none of them have taken him up on his offer. Chris claimed in the DPF phonecall that his house was once egged by trolls.
Chris and his address
Giving away one's home address on the internet is generally considered unwise. Possibly Chris doesn't realize this, or perhaps he realizes that trolls have so thoroughly and permanently violated his privacy that attempting to preserve it is a lost cause. In any case, he has publicly announced his home address on a number of occasions, in YouTube videos and elsewhere.
- Shortly after 21 July 2009, when CChanSonichuCWC released a video promoting his Sonichu merchandise, Chris posted his address in a YouTube comment in hopes of a physical confrontation with the "impostor."
- On 14 August 2009, in the video NO D*** WAY, IMPOSTOR!!!, Chris rattled off his address as a way of attempting to prove his identity.
- He did the same thing in his CWC Public Disclaimer, also released on 14 August 2009.
- On 23 November 2009, in the Sonichu Presentation, Chris provided his address (as well as his home and mobile phone numbers) in hopes of attracting investment in his comic-book characters.
- Chris has published his address on his websites at various times. It's currently available at the bottom of the main page on CWCipedia.
