What do you guys think? We've (family of 4) been looking for a little while at houses and being a carpenter, I like finding something needing some updating, etc so I can build some equity.
Anyways, during my searching I came across an old church for sale. It's already zoned for residential and the price is pretty good. Obviously it would be a huge project to get it to a point where it would be considered a home, but it could become an extremely unique space.
I have no problem replacing flooring, painting, putting up new walls, tiles, etc, however, my concern is that there may be a lot more work involved that I am not considering. The kitchen is set up in a more commercial style, which would require some attention. One other concern is the bathrooms, which would require a lot of work as well as putting in at least one completely new bathroom, which I'm unsure of the cost.
Here are a couple of pictures...
Am I crazy for even thinking about it? What do you guys think?
