2. Inside the brick building
colourline

dm-r10-vih_kavisos01 Some sort of social premises were here. Junk left is typical 1990's factory stuff.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos02 Fire alarm center.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos08 This spacy hall may originally have been the mine's vehicle repair shop. It would suite well for that kind of use.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos09 Basic factory ceiling of the hall.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos03 The hall was fillt with various vehicles. None of them really in operation any more. Apparently the Finnish army have had even Benzes in their vehicle arsenal?
dm-r10-vih_kavisos05 Looks like collector items.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos06 Heavier hook crane..
dm-r10-vih_kavisos07 The truck bed is full of firewood, but the text reads: Finnish padding factory. Cool find, since we've visited one unit of this company, which is also abandoned. How the truck has ended this far from it's origin, would be interesting to know.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos10 Trip continues. This central part must have served the same purpose that it continues to serve, storing junk.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos30 Forklift batteries, paints and some other quite valuable looking stuff was stored here. I don't know who needs that stuff, here.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos31 Hard to say much about this hall, since it was totally empty. Anyway, the radiators had nice paint.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos11 So far the building's been quite boring, but the best section starts from behind this door.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos13 This, some kind of production hall was totally empty, but the attic with cool junk as well as the office section could be accessed from here.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos12 The hook crane was still functioning!
Raiztlin messes with the crane [mpeg]
dm-r10-vih_kavisos29 Wall.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos24 Here's the office wing. Main office has probably been in the exploded building, for this is probably an expansion built later than the original buildings.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos14 Offices were emptied carefully. A big technology oriented company like Outokumpu, which also has lots of experience in abandoning sites, has probably developed a standard procedure of cleaning the premises totally.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos16 Lab was also disappointingly empty.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos15 One of the few not-removed items.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos17 These switches offer atleast decadence romanticism.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos20 A switch, pt. II.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos18 This faucet goes to the same category.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos23 A whole set of switch buttons.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos19 Only some decade without central heating, and the walls look like this.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos21 Fusebox had also rusted seriously.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos22 Looks like a doggy door, but there are no dogs in mine offices?? I relly can't figure what has used such a small door.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos26 New air circulation stuff has been acquired still in 1985.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos27 Okay, stuff that you find is often strange, but this: A portable toilet? Wtf did they need a portable toiler for? It has been marked "Vihanti" so that it's surely really been used here.
dm-r10-vih_kavisos28 Old tele-equipment is still around. The unit has followed well the advancement of technology: Already in 1960's they had automated processes, and in 1974 the first computer system was commissioned.
