Jethro, I'm having trouble with your measurements. Would you review this excerpt from your prior post and correct the discrepancy?
You posted: From Google Earth measurements, and the County Tax CAD maps we can determine the building is 192 feet by 168 feet measured corner to corner. There are 3 foot eaves on each side. The taller inner sanctuary part is 120 by 196 and has 3 foot eaves all around it. Since the "outer" building abuts the inner building each side outside of the Sanctuary is 36 feet.
This may (or may not) be more helpful).
The outer dimensions of the building including eaves is 192x168.
The outer dimensions of the sanctuary including eaves is 120x96 feet.
If we subtract out the inner building from the outer building ...
192-120 = 72
168-96 = 72
That means there is 36 feet on each side of the building to the sanctuary.
The eaves of the building are 3 feet. On both the inner and outer buildings. They cancel out, in terms of the distance to from the outer edge of the building to the sanctuary because where they join at the sanctuary it would be under the 3 foot eaves of the taller sanctuary.
However, the sanctuary inside the building is smaller by 6 feet in each direction (3 foot eaves all around) that leaves it with an inner size of the sanctuary at 114x90.
Because each side to the sanctuary is 36 feet you also know the maximum size in width any one room can be with respect to the edge of the outer building toward the sanctuary.
The main hall is 16 feet wide (a little less due to outer drywall thickness) So for all the rooms on the West side of the building they can be no wider than 20 feet.
The north, south and east halls are 8 feet wide (a little less due to outer drywall thickness) so any rooms on those sides of the building cannot be more than 28 feet wide.
If you look at the property tax information for the church you can determine which covered area is which.
All measurements given below are as if you were looking at them.
The entry way to the vestibule on the northwest is 16 wide x 21 deep. That is the one that is 336 sq ft.
Each of the ones on the northeast and southeast are 12 wide and 11 deep. Those are the ones that are 132 sq ft.
The main entry on the west side is 24 feet wide and 10 ft 6 1/2 inches deep. That is the one that is 253 sq ft.
For the southwest area that entry way to the vestibule plus the patio area is 36 wide and 21 feet deep. That is the one that is 1730 sq ft. The bulk of it is the part that extends from the building edge over the driveway. I hadn't bothered with those dimensions since it isn't part of the building footprint proper. However, just like with the building the eaves of that don't count but the area it takes up where the eaves on the south side would be if this car port weren't there do. So not counting eaves it is probably 24 wide by 40 ft 7 in. (3 of which account for the eave space of the building) so I expect it extends about 37 ft 7in from the edge of the building outward. If it is 26 feet wide the distance will be shorter, obviously. But, like I said, I hadn't bothered with space outside the building footprint.
From this you can derive that the vestibules including the doors on all sides take up 7 feet of depth - approximately 5 feet between each sets of doors.
For the vestibules on the east side of the buildings the doors are aligned toward the sanctuary on each end. So there is about 6 feet of space to the side of the doors away from the sanctuary inside the vestibules.
For the vestibules at the southwest and northwest the doors are centered so there is space to both sides.
For the main entryway there are two pairs of double doors centered (6 feet from each side of the columns holding up the roof over the area). This opens into a deeper vestibule that is 12 feet wide to another set of double doors. The space between is 12 wide and 14 feet deep (again if you were facing them or going through them).
Determining the other dimensions for rooms is an exercise in counting ceiling tiles and making other estimates. However, wherever there are structural columns that are visible they will help in the placement of the room. On the north and south of the building the columns in rooms on both sides align with columns you see in the sanctuary (on both sides within the sanctuary too). The east and west sides are different and different from each other. Largely because of the support structure needed to hold up the main entry area on the east side. However, on both the east and west sides there will be columns that align with the corners of the sanctuary.
I believe I have figured out the columns for the west side. So I believe the room placement and dimensions there will hold up (except perhaps the bathrooms at the south end).
The east side is trickier but I have some visible columns (4 of them) to work with there so I am still adjusting that area in terms of adjustment in placement and dimension.
With the columns and knowing where the windows are that is how I know whether or not pictures that possibly are of the same room are really two different rooms.
One more thing about the structural columns. On the walls adjacent to the halls inside rooms the columns are hidden behind the drywall but you can see where they are if there is a door - like in room 8. The westernmost door in that room abuts a structural column - you'll see the line above and to the right of the door. So far, everywhere I have seen a door and a structural column I have found the door to be mounted to the immediate left of that column (looking inside the room out).
Hope it helps.
