Can anyone give me just a ball park figure of how much funding I would need to just clean and fix up two antebellum churches? They are both structurally sound and in very good condition. What would the high end and low end cost estimates look like? The sq footage of the churches are: 2,270 and 2043. I can send j-pegs offline if they are needed.

Through cleaning of complete (floors, walls, doors & associated hardware, windows & associated hardware, ceiling, pews, columns) interior with appropriate mild cleansers that will not damage any materials present
Linseed oil treatment for the floors---at least 3 coats more if needed
Paint analysis and matching of new paint with original colors both interior and exterior
Check foundation for structural integrity repair/replace if needed
Check roof for wear and tear. Repair if possible, replace like with like if necessary.
Check for infestation of wasps/mud daubers exterminate with the most environmentally friendly chemicals possible
