In the middle of nowhere, ex church, next to a cemetary ... ive seem to many movies with that setup to live there :-)

That used to be a Catholic church. The Vatican flag is still there, and there were Latin books in the closet at 9:45. The spot in the rug that you called a podium would be where the altar was. They removed all the sacred items when they deconsecrated it. I am surprised they did not remove the vestments from the sacristy closet. There is probably a bigger, more modern church in a nearby town where the congregation will be redirected. It really is a shame. A little timely maintenance could have saved this building.

A lack of priests is a common reason why Catholic Churches are closing around here. Sometimes one priest will work at two or three locations with lots of empty pews. The Catholic Church has reason to be worried, even South American countries are being taken over by Protestantism.

I was super surprised when I realized it was Catholic too as nothing on the outside clued me in and I missed any inside clues until the censer at 9:27. Lots of items still there (like the censer and vestments and missals and much more) that you would think would be removed if it's on the market and open for showing. To micah_lee it is surprising though getting more common. Obviously cost and circumstance can limit the options but generally Catholic churches are designed in specific and telltale ways that are meant to contribute to the Mass. This church and others can add those symbols and such with items and dressings but the older (and better funded) a Catholic church is the more likely it is to have some specific signs in the architecture itself like niches for statues, greenery symbols and carvings in the back of the altar area/sanctuary, and obviously crucifixes rather than bare crosses.

@@ClockworksOfGL Now that I am back here, I wanna ask a question. You posit “being taken over by protestanism” in a way that seems negative from your view. If you hold to catholicism, what is the general believe of protestants, specifically on if they are saved or not? From my view on salvation, I see the catholic church as going against what the bible teaches. I wouldn’t say there are no people in the church saved, I would guess there to be many. And in the same way as protestant churchs, I would guess there are many unsaved, cultural Christians. What is the catholic view on the gospel the protestant church teaches (from preachers such as John Piper, etc etc. Solid preachers at least.)

And already starting on the renovations? I'm impressed with his energy level and self-discipline to always keep occupied with a project that will make the world a better place.

That is a hornet's nest. A pretty big one, and they will hurt you. I always heard they have a guard sitting at the entry on the bottom of the cone and he will chase you if the nest is threatened. They are very dangerous and will swarm a threat. Life threatening to anyone sensitive to the venom.

From what I've read, some types of mold can make an ammonia-like scent. Maybe that room smelled so much like pee because of the rotting door/deck right next to it?

Given how much rot there is in that building (soft floors everywhere), and how that area is losing population, I expect that building will not sell and will end up being demolished.

Reminds me of the show "restoration home", they've done at least 2 church conversions there that turned out gorgeous!

There was also an episode of Holmes On Homes where Mike Holmes and his crew had to fix a botched reno of a church converted to a house in Ontario. One of the issues was the furnace wasn't powerful enough to heat a building that size, and other issues were from sub-code work, and Holmes doesn't even like building to minimum code, he always advocates for building well above code.

Today I got recommended a video like post10 but from my city. I mentioned post10 to the guy and he said he has watched your vids and finds them interesting. You are now an "influencer"! Keep up the good work

Man to make this into a house would be nuts. I’m an HVAC guy and just to operate the furnace would cost a fortune within itself just to operate, the ductwork appears uninsulated which is no bueno. If anyone has any HVAC questions just hit me up!

My husband and I have wanted to convert an old church into a home for a long time. They are built to last with materials that you cant find anymore.

Thank you for taking the time to edit in the censoring that would have helped vandals locate it.

I remember making clocks out of paper plates and learning how to read the time. I'm shocked it is not being taught in some places

It's just weird that they left that much stuff there. Like the glasses, books, church stuff, statues, etc.

Another excellent and interesting video. Thanks for all your hard work and effort in putting this together. Also big respect to you for maintaining the anonymity of the place with the censor squares. Not many people would consider that so it just goes to show how much of a good person you are. Say hi to April from all here in Australia 😊.

Amazing place to see. Your explanation of the heating systems in the area is great. We don't have furnaces here in Australia. April is getting so big and playful. Just gorgeous.

Can’t believe it’s left open to view. Really interesting looking around keep us updated if your friend buys it , would be good to see what he does to it. I would love to live remotely there and renovate it 👍

Wow, that was very interesting to see. Thanks for taking the time to walk us thru this place.

Very informative! Thank you for all your comments and pointing out things many would not have even noticed. 👍🏼

The furnace was energy audited on 10-21-04 according to the left sticker at 17:33. The "screen" @ 17:38 is expanded metal for plastering; plaster is trowelled over it to make the surface. This is usually done on walls. There should be a tag or label on the furnace blower with information of rating, serial number, and date. The concrete basement walls were formed with boards as can be seen by the ridges on the walls where the boards came together. This type of construction would be typical of 1939.

Now praise April for coming. So she hears more praise then stop or no.

I grew up in a tiny hamlet in upstate new york, and our backyard neighboring lot was a cemetery (with no church.) Only time there was ever an issue was sometimes on Halloween kids would mess around in there after dark. Otherwise it was always deserted and quiet as death, in a good way.

As a coincidence, I just came from an open house at a church that the Historical Society is raising money to buy. It was built in the 1830s, it's in the center of town, and it's featured on the town's official seal. We believe that someone wants to buy it and convert it to a private home, and in this case it's not appropriate. But I know of other churches that may be available for purchase that could be made into lovely homes.

I happen to fix up houses.....would LOVE to get my hands on a church and convert it!

About the same as KZreadr Diesel Creek’s abandoned church only his in a location where he can divide it into apartments. He already began replacing failed foundation walls and improving drainage.

A sauna would be nice in a cold location like that. It'd be fun to sit in the steam, then walk out into the snow and roll around lol.

I had a church building in my town that was a very interesting modified housing. The basement was fully converted into an apartment living space. If it had a few more features like central heating, and air conditioning I would have considered making an offer on it. It had tons of space inside, and a great place to turn into my personal library and home theatre. It's bell tower was a three story enclosed area all suitable for a bedroom *(But too cold in the winter.) $10,900.00

Love the vintage fridge

The area looks like where I'm from in Norway. Same laws also about the underground oil tanks being illegal.

April says "but dad there is more smells outside than in. And I can't do steps"

Cool building. Maybe having an big exhaust fan running a while would clear the basement of moisture

I live in Senoia, GA, a small town located about 45 minutes southwest of Atlanta. There have been at least two churches that have been converted into houses & they look good. At least they weren't demolished like some buildings that were in good shape have been.

Wow, really cool. Thanks for showing it👍

Oh dear! I was shocked to see that huge oven falling into the basement! 😯

I noticed what looked like a chimney in the basement, perhaps the church used to be heated through the chimney until the installation of the oil burner. That may also explain the sump pump. Perhaps when the oil burner was installed, they lowered the floor on that side to accommodate it. That left the pump above the new lower point of the room.

Thats neat. I bet its gonna look extremely nice when its finished being worked on. I wouldn't wanna live near a cemetery, it'd freak me out especially at night.

Hey Post, if your brother decides to get this place, will you do a full series on the renovations of it, kind of like House Flippers and other similar real estate and home reno shows would do? I think that would make very interesting content, especially with the drought leaving you with a shortage of clogged drain fix and flood clearing content for however long that drought lasts.

Your the guy that cleans storm drains when it floods. GG, very few people do as a morally sound hobby as you.

Cool place, I would have gone into those crawl spaces though for sure!

Also I heard the thing about analog clocks, it tis sad, and in Britain they totally stopped using them in public areas. I personally find them useful and a classic staple. Also Clockwise and Counter clockwise still need to be used for left and right haha. I dont see them dying out but they are becoming more of a decoration than a piece for use. I have a bunch of old School/Factory clocks from Standard Electric Time Co. of Springfield Mass. I love them soooo much!

that was a cool update video I guess. Thanks for sharing

If that becomes a house, the owner will need to install a drop ceiling. It'd be expensive to heat a room that size with a ceiling that high. Eight feet would be a good hight for the ceiling.

I thank u, for taking us on your adventures…

April’s like nope I’m not going in there I smell ghosts lol👻👻👻👻

If you look at the video, around the pump in the basement, you can see its empty under the floor - there is a floor above the actual foundational floor, and it looks about the same as the room with the lower floor.

I had a furnace very similar to the one here, as does the store where I work. The one at work is slated for replacement. Mine was replaced a few years ago. Old, noisy and not very efficient.

sounds like serious leak problems for the basement, even if it doesnt look bad right now. i would be tempted to just haul out the items, open up a temporary hole in the wall and flooring, and use a cement truck to fill the basement up with concrete and be done with it. a leaky basement is what got this place into bad shape, it will strike again

Early on, he pointed out there is no water management (rain, snow melt, gutters, down spouts) and except for the 1 berm, no proper grading of the 'yard'. Betchya most of the wet basement, structure wood-rot, etc, could be fixed outside!

Crazy to think of all the weddings, baptisms, and funerals in there.

Obviously if the church can’t afford to renovate the inside I’m guessing it’s a bit too much work but who knows it is a cool place to turn into a house

Great content. Love what you do!

This reminds me of my old church that my primary school (ages 5-11) went to, it was compleltley constructed from rock and had huge support beams, at least 25-30ft tall and about 5ft wide, but they weren't maintained AT ALL. They had giant, and I mean GIGANTIC cracks in them, and a few were actually tilting! Quite a bit as well. Honestly if it doesn't get attention I'd give it 5-10 years tbh. I'm not religious and only went to the school for convienience so whilst all the other kids prayed I'd be thinking of ways to escape if it collapsed😂

Do not mention were this church is. So post 10's friend will have a chance to buy it. Arlo Guthrie "American folk singe" lives in a converted church in Williamstown, Ma. The home of Alice's Restaurant. Arlo and Alice both give music lessons in their home and occasional host song writing workshops.
