I Bought an Abandoned Church!

[@EDBailley]

It will be so exciting to see how you renovate this old church into a beautiful home! It was exciting seeing you renovate the farm house too!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

We are filming like mad dogs before Jeff leaves for Florida. So at the moment we are filming new footage for each channel. Should be fun to share with the folks

[@EDBailley]

Hey I live in Florida! Yeah I bet you are, I have learned so much from Jeff's videos! I appreciate all you do!

[@tatianacrowl9600]

Jeff, we have been watching you for the last 6-7 months. We binged on many of your episodes, sometimes 2-3 hours in a row. It was a bitter sweet to see you saying “goodbye” to your “retirement palace”, and very touching last few days at the house. You fooled us all, you were creating someone’s else “retirement palace”, and they will enjoy it very much. Just like all of us enjoyed watching you creating it. So, happy and excited for your new adventure. It looks like a great place to create new memories with friends, family and fans. Good luck! We will be watching you :)

[@TyZo]

Please get started ASAP! I cannot wait to watch this transformation. Long time fan of the channel. Really loving this direction in the channel!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

We have already started. Keep watching this channel to see what the plan and progress is and watch the main channel for the how to videos. Cheers

[@anneriboldi9057]

I cannot wait to watch every single one of your videos for this new project. My husband and I swear by Jeff now. We just bought a house and we’re turning the basement into an apartment and updating the upper two floors. The best part is that every time we have a question on something, we check your channel and find a video on it. Anyway, can’t wait to watch this new journey! Can I get an amen?!

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

That is awesome!

[@bethdurbin3279]

Oh I can’t wait. Jeff your NUTS LOL. This is going to be so fun to watch and go on the journey with. Thank you for taking us along with you.

[@jcmhanel1]

I am buckled up and ready for the ride! Can’t wait!

[@millieh.-nyc6537]

Wow, church has great bones. Congrats on your new purchase. I can't wait for the start of this journey. Wishing you, your family & your crew (& their family) a wonderful Thanksgiving. Be well.

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

Thank you! Same to you. Cheers

[@OilBaron100]

Property looks lovely. The drone footage is fantastic too. I love your videos.

[@jennlizzy2019]

I can hardly wait for this project.

[@Averyanderson]

I’ll be here for the ride! Can’t wait to start

[@amac9245]

This is going to be spectacular! I don't know if I am more excited to see the final product or to watch and learn along this exciting the journey. Pitter patter let's get at'er!

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

working on it! Cheers

[@simonlarose7352]

It would be super interesting to have you discuss the financial aspects of the project. How you searched for and found the deal, the financial projections, estimated reno budget, negotiation, inspection, closing, financing. Then what you plan to do in terms of renos, the costs you are projecting, timeline and after reno value. (You already gave some of that info) It would give insight into your decision process leading to decide to go with the project and we would get to see how your plan evolves and pans out in real life. Super gutsy and original project.

[@bronsonstein7724]

I've never been excited to a series on KZbin before, but I can't wait to come back video after video for this!

[@thamontgomeryz]

This is exciting. A family friend turned an old church into a beautiful family home

[@FunWithFriends16thStreet]

Hello up north. We are buying a church! Built 1870! With 5600 sq foot and another 2800 sq ft available. I'll be watching your videos!

[@starlightmckennah5241]

Price?

[@Jlaudiomustangs10]

This is going to be an epic Reno

[@ajx1994]

You are nuts... and that's exactly why I can't stop watching. Good Luck! :)

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

😂

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

GEish! Jeff! This is going to be a lot of fun! I am so impressed at your drive for vision and mindfulness to keep viewers focused and interested! We are going to learn a lot from this church project, and marvel at the skills to get it done. Yes, as a DIY'er, there will be "drama" with getting all the moving parts coordinated. But, HEY! Isn't that somewhat part of the challenge and satisfaction after the project is completed with success! I look so forward to watching your future video's...and....I review your older ones that are applicable to what project I have on the go and that you have already completed. Subscribed and notification bell is "on!" Awesome! Nice to feel we are not alone with self home renovations. Your support is a diamond in the ruff.....and growing! Your other channel has over 2 million subscribers!!!! Congrats!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Your awesome Meg thanks for following the journey. Lots ahead in this one its a big project. THanks for the comment

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

@@SubdivisionAuto Absolutely my pleasure😉 And with this new coronavirus mutant in South Africa, this Winter will feel a bit more cozy watching your church project develop into a marvel of ingenuity, patience and ..... yes.....a bit of drama! (wink wink!)🇨🇦

[@CHRISTINE162004]

Aww I would love to live there where there are next to no neighbors.. This is a dream!🤩

[@PretyEccentricAnimal]

Jeff, I am so pleased to hear about the new project. I have followed the previous Farm House and it was fantastic. You and your team work hard and deserve all the blessings God provides you with. People who work with their hands and are so generous with their time like you will always be blessed. I wish you much blessings and luck and I am sure you will finish this project in less time than you have anticipated. God Bless and I am looking forward to viewing the progress.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thank you for the nice comment Marie, Jeff and his family appreciate it. Have a great weekend

[@aalamo5901]

[@Emmilythecat]

Hey Jeff, I need to see how to widen a narrow door to allow wheelchair access.

[@billm.8220]

This is going to be an awesome project. Can’t wait to see the transformations to come alive. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I’m sure it will give me ideas for my place. Let the show begin !!

Can't wait!

[@peteryeung111]

That's a bargain Jeff! You can't even get a 400sqf condo at this price in DT Toronto. This will be an awesome series. Just finished watching EC spec house. Now, this will be exciting to follow.

[@styawy]

This is gonna look awesome! I can’t wait!

[@p4cbassman]

I am excited to see this. So many things are optional here and the imagination is the limit. Cheers!

[@janetg1691]

I love your idea! It will be great to see the journey.

[@c31979839]

Amazing! Looking forward to watching your journey with this place. Looks like it's going to be a whole ton of fun. And I'm sure you'll find a few interesting things along the way. 😉

[@SubdivisionAuto]

For sure Walker. On top of filming weekly videos for the main channel we are filming segments for this channel that are not seen on the big Channel. Lots of filming being done here at the moment so don't worry it'll be a fun ride

[@xXbakacoconutXx]

I'm so excited to see the entire process for this! A quick word of caution regarding pools and farming fields though! My grandmother had an in-ground pool, and it was absolutely wonderful for many years. However, after a couple hurricanes like Sandy hit (I'm in New Jersey), the field down the road had lost a lot of soil, so the water runoff was no longer properly managed and it was flooding into the surrounding area. My grandmother's beautiful pool kept getting flooded with muddy water from the field every time there were heavy rains - it was one of the key factors that led to her moving. I wanted to share this in the hopes that it'll be something you bear in mind as you begin the expensive process of getting that pool in! I'm sure you'll be able to think of something to protect it!

[@tammyprewitt271]

My husband and I sold our home and bought a church to renovate and live in. It was built in the 1960’s and it’s a modern mid century architecture. It’s been a slow process for us since we are living in it as we renovate.

[@kevingentry7519]

Sounds like a phenomenal project - just sad to see the church abandoned. 140 years old - I'm sure there's tons of history.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Its sad but i think it sadder if its just lies abandoned. Turing it into a home and giving it a second life sounds like a positive idea. I think a lot of these tpyes of properties are going to come on the market in the next couple years

[@constantinageorgallis8890]

oh so cool,can't wait! very very excited!

[@ivettesantana4319]

If there is an award for You Tube media, you and Max should win it!

Congratulations Jeff!! This is going to be a great projet,

[@JoseHernandez-tc1kl]

Let’s get it on.

[@Coras-Treats]

A little late 😅 Just catching up on you guys. So excited to follow you on your journey. Keep up the good work 👏

[@Kushari]

Amazing! I want to learn more about the tedious things like permits that you don’t know about until you know about them.

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

will get into this. Cheers

[@Erika-Coach]

Oh wow! Can’t wait to see this new project! Sounds fabulous!

[@MotusPK]

Would love to have you in Massachusetts, renovating my whole home thanks to your videos.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thats awesome we are happy to hear the videos have helped. Very cool houses in Mass lots of history

[@tyclute1454]

Love the idea of sharing what the costs will be. Lets roll! Going to be a great project!

[@marriedGary]

Dejavu? So many possibilities Jeff. Can’t wait. And thank you. Thank you for doing this for us!

Lots of new stuff coming my friend will keep folks entertained all winter

[@henryaldrich7726]

i could swear i already saw a video where the building already painted?

[@michaelwhitlow3585]

Thats fun.

[@SirPoofyPants]

Would love some videos that breaks down typical pricing, labor costs, and budgeting. Always good to have an anchor on how much different aspects should cost when looking for a contractor and scoping a project.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

We will be doing that on this channel throughout the entire project. Lots of details on this project

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

thats awesome going to be an great build....

[@nicheavener5215]

I love the idea a lot! Not sure you’ll get a million for it and the only reason I say that is the location but I hope you prove me wrong!

[@sunnydaye5942]

Krazy Kool. I can't wait!!!!

[@robmcneill2967]

I wanted to install some flooring, they said watch this Reno Guy on KZbin 😃😃😃 Now I want to buy a dog gone church somewhere and flip it... Best of luck, we will be along for the whole ride Cheers🍻🍻 Rob & Wendy!

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

Cheers Rob and Wendy!

[@randypaul5427]

I bought a historic 1876 Church in Georgia that purchased in 2018 for storage, I am about to covert to a loft living space. I have purchased and restored antebellum period and Victorian homes for the last 16 years but this is the first building I don’t want to sell. It’s the most peaceful building I have ever owned.

[@Mogipbob]

I will watch this series religiously :)

[@michelegrigg4952]

I am in the process of buying a church built in 1889 on .9 acre. We can't wait to move in.

[@GameOn82]

What I would love to see is the preparing stage with an architect, maybe even some 3D model, the process of thinking before you start cutting :)

[@SubdivisionAuto]

We will keep that in mind thanks for the idea

[@Kmher90]

This is going to be an exciting episode

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Yes sir lots of fun coming up in this series.

[@guyhuard9656]

God protect Jeff

[@stelyankaragyozov6990]

Hi Jeff, can you show us or talk about stair case remodel and noise/squeak fix 😉

[@donxbarber]

I can’t wait

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

Cheers Don!

[@cynthiablagg3690]

Really ready to watch all this because my small bathroom has to be gutted and redone. After paying the plumber this last time I need to learn how to do it myself.

[@sheilaa1333]

I’m 95% done with my small bathroom (down to the studs including replacing cast iron drain pipes) thanks to Jeff and other gracious KZbinrs. The $6k+ plumbing quote pushed me over the edge. It’s taken me nearly a year (with two kids and a full time job) but you can do it too! My husband helped me with anything really heavy, but it was empowering to learn to be self sufficient.

[@arnoldolorenzo3474]

Exciting

[@marjoriejudge5348]

Some of the Victorian mansions on Summit Hill in St Paul have functioning pipe organs in them too (for the music rooms that were usually full floor ballrooms )

[@RealG-j2q]

Judging by the vegetation you bought the church in the spring. If you sell it now you will get 500k, without any renos, lol
