5 Major Problems With My Church
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 02. 2022
- My church is very much like an old, not-up-to-code onion. And as soon as I started to peel back the layers - peeking underneath stairs, looking into cubby holes and inside walls - I realized I have 5 major problems I need to address before I can move forward. Hopefully they don't cost me an arm and a leg!

That fan was the cherry on top! Made me giggle
Love this guy. "Look at all this mold... Let's just kick the drywall off..." 😂
In my experience, Churches are an endless source of projects. 👍
…and that’s just the building.
I hope so. Cheers!
That fan brought back memories!!I grew up as a PK (Preacher’s Kid) and I’m guessing they sold that exhaust fan to every church built in North America!
Loving it!
Well on the bright side your in the right place to pray that your not overwhelmed
Definitely like these short videos when you find something "secrete". Good thing you know how to do things properly!
Always a lot of fun to share a teachable moment. Cheers!
This series is getting exciting. Every video are good
Love these videos and the long ones. Very informative.
Cheers Carole!
Oh Michelle is going to loooooove that bathroom fan!!! 🤣🤣🤣
can't wait for you guys to begin this! So excited.
the first demo is in 2 weeks!
looks like previous owners just turn other cheek ^^
I am having the same problem at my house, old house built on a slab with no sealer between the wood and cement. The temp differences between outside and inside causes the slab to sweat constantly close to the wall. I will be staying tuned to see how you deal with this!👍👍🇺🇲
all your videos are great. I've learned so much from you over the years. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Glad to help
Maybe its just the poor churches I attended but in my experience congregations are often filled with hard working, well meaning folks who just haven't the slightest clue what they're doing. This is really scary when it comes to wiring! I did some IT work for a church that ran their electrical outlets using cut up sections of old extension cord! When I asked about it they pointed out that they used heavy duty cord & that it had a ground wire so it was fine. SMH
The whole world is full of folks with good intentions and bad understanding. The secret to life is to never stop learning.
Lol the bathroom vent to nowhere
his laugh at the end was hilarious
Not the first time I have seen that! Cheers!
lmao when you put your foot on that step and it just rolled over
hard to believe something so dangerous was left unattached at the bottom of a flight of stairs eh!
I’ve been involved in a year long project (so far) rebuilding a house that belongs to our church. Some of the problems were from poor to no maintenance (not cleaning gutters, letting termites migrate into the house), along with very sloppy (could I say horrible) building practices. I’ve had to completely replace most of the joists, all of the subfloor, repair or fully replace one third of the wall studs, all of the wall sheathing, plumbing, wiring, etc. Whew! I’m afraid that many or most churches, well meaning though they may be in being afraid to spend the necessary money, do not invest the proper resources in keeping from spending much more money later.
I really hope you do an in dept video on airflow. I got a old house with radon problems. I need ideas and Here in Norway the "call the experts" is not a real option unless you use extreme money on it.
the issue behind the skirts is plaster bridging, boards need cutting back about 75mm
Well neighbour hee hee great vids , I would stop and say howdy but it looks like your having all the fun you can handle . So I'll just drive by and wave howdy lol.
Cheers! soon we will be working outside again and look forward to having folks stop by!
My home is the same exposed center block letting in air
This is going to be multiple video content. The renovation will be exciting for sure
Cheers Rolando!
This was so interesting.. My house was built in 1988 - East coat of Canada, we moved in just over a year ago. I checked under my basement stairs and it's untreated 2x4 on bare concrete - no signs of any mold & it's closed off from air movement + lots of cob webs lol - but it is well insulated with Styrofoam. Is it possible that it's just really dry? I also have a large crawl space under part of the house(2 bedrooms & bathroom) that is dry as a desert 365 days a year - no vapor barrier, just insulation. I did buy the VB the seal it off but haven't gotten around to it as I'm still debating whether or not to closed-cell spray foam it.
Thanks Jeff, keep the short videos coming!
Will do!
Your the greatest Man! You have helped me so much! But you gotta take care of your self.Your Xanthelasma is getting worst ,ya need to get it checked! Take care .
When you see vinyl from the 60s, how do know if there is asbestos in the adhesive? Or is testing the only way?
Fun times ahead. Have you made a video about removing old, glued-down lino/vinyl flooring?
I just had to do that in a rental property..not sure if it's the best way but I uses a scraper and a torch and it came up kinda easy (was definitely a bitch though) a heat gun works good alsl
@@str8kronic Thanks! I'll experiment soon. Will also try hot water...
on wood it is easy. just remove the 1/4" ply it should be glued on. on concrete heat is your answer. Cheers!
I thought about using some colored smoke to try and see where a basement exhaust fan vents. Bad idea or doable?
Sounds like you're learning that a lot of the handy work done in churches is done by well-meaning members of the church that may or may not be up on all the latest building techniques!
Can I make a suggestion to number the episodes, like the 1880 farmhouse
how do you solve the air flow problem. I have baseboard heat and limited airflow in one bedroom....I am trying to figure out how to eliminate the mold that happens along baseboards etc
Jeff - surely when that building was inspected for you before the purchase all of these issues would have been noted and either fixed by the previous owner or you negotiated the price accordingly. As is was used as a commercial building / place of worship and the fact that you have told us it was rebuilt after a fire destroyed I struggle to understand how any work was done there that did not meet code. Can a non complying property such as this be sold in Canada ?? I know you guys are hot when it comes to drain venting and mould but it doesn't look that bad to me. The moisture that you say has wicked up from the floor I would say is the result from a leak in the mechanical room or someone generously washing the floor with lots of water regularly. Cheers. Looking forward to a reply.
When you are buying a church for a major retrofit the surprises are less of an issue. it was interesting to find a lot of poor construction practices and how they deteriorated over time.
Can i put kitchen cabinets on my 1972 concrete slab? Or should I put flooring under them?
flooring for sure and use a vapor barrier to avoid wicking.
Holy. That vent is louder then my 250cc quad
Just about ready to die!
There was a church available in my next city over with a 3 bed 2 bath apt in the basement for $130k. If it was in my city I could have bought it. Problems and all.
3:42 welp time to burn the whole thing down.
What is this about venting the plumbing? Happen to have a video on it?
When you turn a bottle upside down it takes forever to pour out, but if you have it at an angle with air it goes faster, right? Same thing with plumbing. You don't want to clog your pipes with air bubbles.
moving water creates a vacuum effect so you need fresh air behind the water to eliminate the effect of solids get trapped in the line.
The wall issue isn't a hard fix especially if you're demoing moldy drywall. If the walls aren't structural just cut the studs at 3 1/2 inches and put a new sill plate in with blocks under each stud the space in between will allow air flow and if there's a flood the water can drain away easier. Also dry core subfloor will help with protecting the new flooring and furniture in the basement.
yup, however the wall is structural on one side so it will need a different kind of love.
Longer videos please!
Are you going to use pt on all the sills?$$$
no that does not stop wicking. I will be using a sill gasket as a moisture barrier.
@@REALITYRENOVISION how do you get the gasket under the sill? Coming soon in a new video. US PT IS MANDATORY
How many kWh's/year does that building burn through in electric baseboard heating?
not exactly sure. it has never been used as a residence. no worries though we are going to use a different system for heating and cooling.
Is it wrong that I like you having problems🥺.........more content 🥰
LOL, no worries there will be no shortage of content for us. Ever!
@@REALITYRENOVISION I love it, can't wait bud👍......ps: your videos have been a tremendous help on my own diy home projects 😊
How do I know if I have a gasket between my sill plate and foundation ? If not what can I do .. wait for it to rot ?
Code requires PT lumber, that does slow down the rot process, however it does not stop wicking. so the best answer is to remove 1 section at a time while supporting the joist and install a sill gasket and then a sill plate. use a sealant to connect each piece to keep the air and bugs out. Cheers!
@@REALITYRENOVISION but it has not rot in 40 years so I guess there is some sort of capillary break between the block and the sill.. at some places I can see black goop .... Could it be tar?
Is it only in cold places there is an issue with wood on concrete? I’m in California and I’m pretty sure my (1948) walls are right on the concrete foundation. It’s a crawl space, not slab so maybe that makes a difference?
Hi, my partner watches your videos, and I am usually reading, but I can hear the video. Has anybody told you that you sound just like Kermit the frog?
Yes, and I take that as a compliment. Cheers!
@@REALITYRENOVISION it was absolutely meant as a compliment, just uncanny.
Let me know if you need help with your insurance. I specialize in commercial insurance builder’s risk and wrap-up liability.
I’d like to help! You’ve helped me with my projects around my house.
Thanks David. We have it all under control now.
@@REALITYRENOVISION no problem! If you ever need a second pair of eyes just let me know! Looking forward to the next video.
lmao dont u need an s92 certificate and fdny permit to have one of those salamander space heater
Always concerned to see Jeff doing demo without eye protection. 😬 Of course, I think it’s funny when he points out safety issues in the church and I don’t see him wearing gloves or work boots. Perhaps it’s just me but I’d hate to see him get hurt.
Thought this would be problems about a church… oh well… good info otherwise.
Oh! I thought you were going to go into why religion is nothing but a fairy tale and the church cons people out of their hard-earned money. My bad.
