Im not sure u can compare the 2 churches. A church needs some old charactor i believe b4 it can be converted into a pub or so alike. Here in Adealide we even have a night club called The Church, and u guessed it, it was a church once in the city square that has been converted into a very popular nightclub.

Tip no
1) When u want to paint find the colour u want and instead of buying it, ask the shop what the cheapest good base is, (usually not name brand) and have that tinted, usually about 1/3 of the originals paint price. Keep the tinting code for further reference and touching up.
2) Building recyclers, have every thing from shower cubicles, to roof sheeting and gutters and very cheap prices.
3)Carpets, most offices change carpets regularly as do 5 star hotels. Contact these places direct and ask them how they dispose of their carpets. Some give them away, others auction them off very cheap and in very good order.
4) Furniture, 1st class furniture from 5 star hotels are sold cheap as they change over on a fairly regular basis.
5) As well as news paper as pointed out already, cardboard is also good for gardens to keep weeds down. Old cardboard boxes broken up etc. I have even heard of people using old carpet, however I haven’t done this one myself.
6) A friend of mine once offered an unemployed builder free accommodation for work done on his house. Not only did they become good friends, but also worked out very very cheap labour and the house went from 130k to 380k in value in about 8 months.
7) When renovation offer cheap accommodation for a tenant. Some people don’t mind the mess in lieu of cheap rent.
When fence is leaning over and wood looks bent and non straightable, just get a 7 foot star dropper and put in behind the bent wooden fence post and wire wood to star dropper. Be sure to wet wood 1st and keep moist for some time, after about a year or so u can even take the stat droppers out again, and wood should be straight.9) Steam cleaner/ hi pressure cleaner just b4 u put house on market clean all concrete around the house, as silly as it sounds I have done this for a few friends and its amazing the difference it makes. Looks Brand New. However one winter and its back to what it looked like b4, so it doesn’t last long, but looks great for selling.
10) And last for now simple things like pop up sprinklers and drippers. If selling, most people love these things, and if renting more chance of having your garden looked after. Much easier to turn on a tap and off again then to set timers and move sprinklers.
