18:30 I know someone will try and correct me but I have one of those tanks that filters pressurizes and holds water so the well isn't always running. Do not mention the location of this property to protect it from theft and damage
I love it lol. "Hey everyone, today we'll be revisiting, the abandoned church." April introduces herself also. **Jingle jingle jingle** 😂😂
The cutest baby
Cutest dababy
If your friend buys this to renovate into a house, I'd totally watch that.
🇨🇦🇨🇦My wife and I bought my grandparents church and land and we are restoring and renovating it into our retirement home and homestead...join us on our journey!
Looks like a relatively sturdy structure, but can you imagine having the church service, then midway through the sermon having the stove crash through the floor?
That would be a sign for me lol
This video and this comment remind me of Dwight K. Shrute
And his voice reminds me of Oscar Martinez
Post 10 goes from his own DPW to realtor and building inspector. You're a versatile dude Post!
lol
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.
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.
Very interesting how similarly designed this church is to other protestant denominantions churches.
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.
Good comment thread here...you all are saying a lot of what I was going to say. Looks Protestant on the outside...some folks would point to this as an outward sign of the protestantization of Catholicism and how it often works out. Not me, though.
@@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.)
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
Thank you for taking the time to edit in the censoring that would have helped vandals locate it.
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 😊.
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!
That is NOT a BEE hive.
Its a wasp nest?
@@ghibli801 yeah
hornet nest, way meaner than wasps
Probably a wasp nest.
Where do you see a wasp nest
@@owenmailloux9436 0:57 On the cross over the door.
@@davidbroughall3782 hornets nest
Bald Faced Hornets
Hornets. Their bad assery make wasps look downright cuddly.
Very informative! Thank you for all your comments and pointing out things many would not have even noticed. 👍🏼
Wow, that was very interesting to see. Thanks for taking the time to walk us thru this place.
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 👍
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
Post10- "I don't know where all those flies came from"
Post 10 see 'death bags' hidden behind the furnace- " I didn't see them before" walks away!
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.
1:01 uhhhh buying an old church across from a cemetery 😐 that’s like rule number 1 of how not to get a haunted house
Nah, it's consecrated ground. No ghosts there! All them souls passed on. :) Now if you find a graveyard that DOESN'T have a church attached....
A haunted house is what I need 😁
It's just weird that they left that much stuff there. Like the glasses, books, church stuff, statues, etc.
This place is basically the recipe for a haunted house. Cemetery In Front, Old Abandoned Church, In The Middle Of Nowhere, Dog was also hesitant to go in....
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.
5:53 what a camera rig! It would be cool to see what cameras you have and when/where/why you use them! Thanks for the great content!
Cool Vid! April is a Doll!
Quick Question-
When you say "Middle of nowhere", how bad?
I'M NOT ASKING FOR LOC OR SPECIFICS- just a general "It's 10 miles to the general store, or it's 20 minutes to a gas station" type of thing. Just to get an idea of HOW remote this church is.
I do have to commend you on saying (& posting) the keeping the location under wraps! There are WAY TOO MANY idiots out there that just want to destroy, with no appreciation or respect for nature, history, or beauty!
Thanks for another interesting adventure!
Now praise April for coming. So she hears more praise then stop or no.
@Amanda Anderson Nevertheless, rewarding good behavior is always a good thing to do. And as pack animals, they need direction and disipline, of course, but they also need positive reinforcement, encouragement, and attention.
A renovation series would be cool
I think it'd be so cool to convert an old church into a home. I like your puppy. Looks like my pup Mazie
You're Dog is an awesome bonus to the video, I bet its popular with other viewers too.
YOOOOO!!! THE COMMERCIAL STOVE FELL THROUGH THE FLOOR!😄😄😄😄
I'm a simple woman. I see dog, I click.
Simple man here, ditto.
@@Dalladubb 😃
WOW, that was interesting - you must keep up dating us on the progress when it gets sold . Thanks for sharing :-)
If that refrigerator is old, that is a death trap. The door needs to be removed. You do not want locking refrigerators. So, many sad stories with those old units.
Interesting and informative as always, very fascinating. 💚💚
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.
POST 10 !!! When appropriate, you need to include in the video title: Featuring Post Pup
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.
Smells like pew in here...
Cool building. Maybe having an big exhaust fan running a while would clear the basement of moisture
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.
beautiful place, glad you made videos of it.
I happen to fix up houses.....would LOVE to get my hands on a church and convert it!
Wow, really cool. Thanks for showing it👍
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.
that's a later model thermostat, non mercury bulb, in fact it has a circuit board with non-replaceable coin cell battery which lasts about 10 years on average.
I would not want to live in a house that used to be a church and is right across from the cemetery lol too many horror movies have similar setups!
My dream house 🏡😍
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.
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
Sad that the building will probably deteriorate even more.
Love the vintage fridge
The area looks like where I'm from in Norway. Same laws also about the underground oil tanks being illegal.
love the beehive hanging from the cross. looks sick
April says "but dad there is more smells outside than in. And I can't do steps"
I'd live there, but I have major stipulations about the building's overall integrity...
*EDIT* ---> I don't feel comfortable living in spitting distance of a graveyard/cemetery, no matter how small it was...
- Also, the basement was unsettling for me, there's just something ominous about it...
Dont worry they wont come back to life...if they do just do what M.J did in thriller
Residents of cemeteries are very quiet neighbors.
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.
I thank u, for taking us on your adventures…
Your the guy that cleans storm drains when it floods. GG, very few people do as a morally sound hobby as you.
Nice exploration, Post 10
Thank you
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!
About the same as UA-camr 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.
I was just thinking of him! Probably needs about the same amount of work.
Almost looks like someone is still living there. Lol
I hope the folks moving in build the entrance of the house looking away from the cemetery. I would be freaked out to see the graves if I stay on the living room watching TV late at night or grabbing water from the fridge at night.
That is what tall fences, hedges, or bushes are good for.
Then again there are those who would jump at the chance to live across from a graveyard.
Well, it IS quiet, no loud parties! If there ARE, you gots bigger problems!
It’s dead people. Dead people can’t hurt you. Now the live ones are the ones you gotta watch. 🙂
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.
that was a cool update video I guess. Thanks for sharing
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.
It's the live neighbors you have to worry about.
Cool place, I would have gone into those crawl spaces though for sure!
Different types of gas but primarily Argon gas is used. Definitely needs some work. Perfect set up for horror movie. Looks like the church in Night of the Living Dead.
Creepy as shit.
"Hello everyone, this is your daily does of internet"
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.
April’s like nope I’m not going in there I smell ghosts lol👻👻👻👻
Oh dear! I was shocked to see that huge oven falling into the basement! 😯
I'd love to see the during and after of this renovation.
Central vacuum sounds kinda cool
Dishes, pans, and dogs. I would live there.
Cool looking pit
How did you learn all of this stuff?
What camera are you using? Is a that a phone mounted on a tripod? See reflection in window 5:54
Please give us a update on what happened to this church. Thank you.
All of a sudden I'm feeling a LOT better about our building. That one's going to cost a bundle to fix! ua-cam.com/video/7oeTnZ6fDZQ/v-deo.html
If any of you are pondering doing a conversion, it will pay to watch these lessons learned: ua-cam.com/video/pARqqv3hHGY/v-deo.html
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.
Love the doggie!♥️♥️♥️
They use propane as a refrigerant like R134a etc. so it still needs power to run a compressor it
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 basically grew up in this kind of area in New England, Even our basement had one of those pumps (though it never worked while we lived there, luckily our basement never flooded either).
Had a sub floor and everything.
Very cool...if you had the money to bring it up to code and make it habitable, it would be a really cool house
I know how to read a clock I got taught a little bit in second grade. Now I’m. Ninth
Lol "clock is stopped at 8 oh 10" *clock reads **10:53*
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😂
That was different we enjoyed it thank you for sharing posts 10
It's definitely haunted.
I know how to read a analog clock but I never use it so I can’t tell time off of it quickly and whenever I look at one my brain doesn’t register the time or anything
Times change, even the way we read the time!
Crazy to think of all the weddings, baptisms, and funerals in there.
Saludos desde Raleigh, NC.🤗
Is this in Maine? And if where?
The cemetery directly out front is a total buzz kill. Wouldn’t invest in that
That would be awesome!
We had a refrigerator just like that one in the sixties . Its a frigedaire
Put Solar on the roof of that church for heating, cooking and lighting.
Solar on the whole roof would more than pay for itself in no time.
Wow that was 22 years ago
1910 wow that was over hundred years ago
Id be inclined to gut that whole place and start from scratch. That basement skeeves me out.
