Is it true that most Germans just rent? Not that interested in owning the Freehold?

(Fingers crossed for the Halifax to come up with the money)
She spent at least £125,000 doing it up. She sold it a couple of months ago to a retired artist for £399,000 who is looking to use it as an art gallery.
It's very difficult to get a mortgage for a property at an auction, let alone a Church! I hope you have a contingency plan in case you cant get the mortgage.
Good luck! It sounds like a good project!

Originally posted by d000hg View PostChristianity is simply adjusting to the number of people who are actually Christians, rather than a state religion where everyone goes to church as a matter of course. When you think how every tiny village used to have a chapel or church, clearly that is overkill - you don't see mosques closing because there are hardly any of them in comparison!
It was easier forcing religion on people, but now they have a choice, the numbers are dropping. Islam is only as large as it is in places like Pakistan, Indonesia and Afghanistan, as the options are less than savoury; denounce Mohammed in Lahore and you're dead, denounce him in Bristol and life goes on. What you're finding is that without forced religion, people realise they can make their own minds up, and the numbers drop. It's proven 2nd and 3rd generation muslims are dropping their faith. That's all that has been happening with Christianity.

No seriously, mega kudos. The tower alone looks big enough for three or four floors of rooms with a spiral metal staircase. Outstanding

It'll be amazing. You should do a blog.
When son #1 was about 4, he went to church with his granny.
"Granny, does God live in your church?"
"Well yes," says granny.
"Oh. I thought so - I saw his cooker out the back."

We still haven't worked out how to change the lightbulbs yet, either. Bloody big long ladders, it seems.
stage lighting from the floor?
of course as you have the arches with stud walls I would be tempted to put the light fittings in the walls pointing into the nave and have rear access. You could back light some recovered stained glass in the walls?

FAQ, is the plan to live there or make money?
All the structural work is complete, everything from here is internal work - still need to build a few walls, the nave floor, the staircases up into the tower though.
