    "Dreams" as just 'imaginations' . You need REALITY before your can 'create your 'dream' ' . The couple seems to have lacked "reality'. It's like a child 'counting on the tooth fairy' and "Santa Claus" and "magical wishes' . Adults have to have REALITY . These so-called adults live on false-dreams" .

    If half the people who take on these projects actually knew what they were doing, they would not take the project on. In a strange way this has actually saved quite a lot of old buildings that would otherwise have been lost. I am glad this couple found a way to make the building pay, they literally jumped off a financial cliff that nearly ruined them.

    I recon this one was down to lack of proper research, into church and vintage building restorations and under budgeting. You could see that their 135k budget wasn't going to be enough on this. From what i have watched, from these projects, you be wanting to have 400k budget, just as a safe guard in case any horrors like what happened here with the roof and spiral. If i was going to take something like this on, id have been chatting to a few people who have done this sort of thing 1st, before id have even bought it. But fare play on them doing it mind, but i recon the love and vision was destroyed when it became a runner way train with the financial side of things. Just get it finished and get shot, by the end due to the financial situation they were in. Been lucky not to have lost everything.

    This restoration certainly emphasizes the need to have a building inspector and, especially in the case of large antique buildings, an engineering report plus a complete list of all permits required. The offer to buy should include those as conditions with the appropriate escape clauses. Granted it would probably discourage many from attempting the restoration.

    As an architect, seasoned with countless restorations, couldn’t George have passed on a tip or two to the inexperienced project manager? Here in the states, a show like this might have enough of a production budget to present the owners with a check for $50K as things started to go pear shaped. It was surprising the community didn’t rally around and raise the $. A sad ending but who knows?

    Amazing transformation! I hope they are able to live in their creation. I'm in the USA and two of my friends bought old churches. One was built in the 1890s, and was well maintained. It sold for a very low price,...not much more than a 2 family house, in our urban area, for about $60 thousand dollars, in 2001. The fellow who bought it sold off the stained glass windows, to make some money for minor restorations. It came with a full commercial styled kitchen in the basement, that served food to the church parishioners and their children. All stainless steel counters and sinks, etc. My other friend bought an old church in a rural area, probably built in the early 1800s. It too was intact, but it was filthy inside,...but the roof was sound, and there were no leaks. His big mistake was renting it out for the short term while he restored parts of it. His renters were scam artists,....though he had no idea at the time. He rented it to them for a low price and they claimed they would repaint and clean the interior as a part of their rent. They never did a single thing,....and only pretended to be doing that work. Then they got an idea of how to scam my friend,....by claiming the old building was making them ill. They claimed the old paint which was flaking off was giving them lead poisoning. They stopped paying any rent, and refused to leave. My friend took them to court, and they counter sued and wanted a full jury trial. They found this scummy scoundrel of a lawyer, who turned the court case into a dramatic event. My friend's legal fees, ate up all the money he had set aside for fixing the church, it took close to a year before he could get rid of his renters. Later he learned the folks were well known scoundrels, and scam artists, who were seasoned con-artists. The stress of the whole debacle, caused friction between him and his wife, and she divorced him and he had to sell the church.

    My guess; time and money. Although cleaning, sanding, and varnishing the pews would have brought in more money, they just didn't have the resources. When my mother was building houses, she spent hours sanding and varnishing doors - and doors are a lot easier to get right than pews, I suspect.

    Overall it's lovely. I'm not religious nor that much of an architecture nerd, but there's something about altar --> kitchen that doesn't sit with me. The altar was the heart of that space, so you'd give it a more ceremonial function, like a reading room/living room with a fireplace or something and then put the kitchen off to one side. And what's with the floral pattern on the sofas and curtains, doesn't match anything else.

There is an episode of Restoration Home "Old Church" about Sir Thomas a Becket Church in Somerset, where the kitchen is also in that area, if I recall correctly, but they solved the whole conversion much better.

    it's funny you should say this because when I first moved to the UK (living in student accommodation in the mid-00s) I was surprised at how many fire safety rules and measures there were, compared to where I came from, where fire safety wasn't ever brought up. I even thought "they must still be traumatized by the Great Fire of London" lol. But I guess the very strict rules are reserved for communal/shared accommodation where the owner has liability for the safety of others, whereas they're more relaxed when it comes to private residences. And then you have stories like the Grenfell Tower disaster which prove that, no matter how much knowledge there is in modern-day construction and planning, there will always be people willing to sacrifice the safety of others when financial interests are involved, which is sad about humanity as a whole.
