I inspected a 7,000+ s.f. church that was built roughly in the 1920's in North Omaha last week. This place was spectacular to explore, BUT a true challenge to inspect! As I was getting a tour by a church member, he opened up a door in the basement with storage stacked in front of it. The door led down to the sub-basement. It turned out there were actually 2 sub-basements. The 2nd one had an old mammoth Octopus furnace. This photo is of the other sub-basement. It still had the original coal furnaces. Both sub-basements had almost every square inch taken up by these massive furnaces. And yes, there was asbestos.
Paying for asbestos abatement and then for a contractor to cut these huge piles of metal up to remove them won't be cheap. I think that's why the owner still has them sitting down in the deep dark recesses of the church.
