Additional Context
It is true that I stayed in the garage from approximately November 2022 to April 2023.
During that time, I also stayed at my daughter’s and son-in-law’s home.
Once construction began, I effectively acted as a caretaker for the new home build to help prevent theft of construction materials.
I was frequently called upon to assist contractors by providing access to the property and allowing them to connect their extension cords to my electrical power. Being at the garage was highly convenient for the contractors and sub-trades working on the project.
