FIRE IN AMISH LAND! BARN RAISING With INCREDIBLE SPEED...Calm and Community in a World of Chaos

Come along and watch as the Amish Community comes together to help neighbor after a fire devastates his farm. In a typical Amish Barn Raising in13 days, 5 buildings and 2 silos are rebuilt from the ground up. In the end 17,000 square feet of buildings were built and the cows were returned to their new home in 12 days. As you watch the video consider the logistics that had to be overcome in order to complete this incredible feat. I hope you enjoy the video showing once again the Amish community coming through.
Here is another video chronicling a barn raising in 2023 after a fire also.
• BARN RAISING After AMI...

[@Barbaralee1205]

I live near an Amish community in Kentucky. After I had a heart attack they asked what I wanted to do. I said i didn’t know. They said we think you should build a new shop at the bottom of the hill. Bigger and easier to work in. I bought the materials. They brought the manpower to build and the woman power to feed. In four days (4!!) they finished a 4,000 sq foot building!! Everything except the electrical. Done in the dead of winter freezing cold. Kids, young men , old men. Everyone just knew what to do!! What a blessing. I’m their volunteer ambulance now whenever anyone needs to go to hospital night or day. I feel life has gotten better and better. That’s neighboring. Anybody anywhere can do it. Put God first then help your neighbor. You won’t regret it!

This is what communities should look like. 😢 sad no one acts like this anymore. I have a lot of respect for the Amish communities, especially after 2020.

[@jackcoberly2705]

I completely agree. I was born and raised in Lancaster County, and I have seen this so many times. There are a few reasons why they are able to do this. Although permits are required for this type of construction, the local governments pretty much just issue them or ignore them because they know the quality of work that the Amish do. You will never see an OSHA inspector on one of these job sites. They know better.

14 years old, living in Buck in Lancaster County. Sat and watched a barn raise out of the dirt in a day near the foundry.

Everyone had a place and everyone instinctively knew what needed done. Truly impressive.

If this was any other mass project, it would take about a year to complete. Any other "English " construction of this size would be held up by red tape.

There is so much us "forward thinking" people could learn from the Amish.

I grew up with neighbors of similar values. I never thought twice about lending a hand on their farm, nor did they to my family growing up in the ‘70s and 80’s. Those times are long gone!

And how would we be if we all worked like that. No man in the straw hat is compensated by anything but breakfast lunch dinner and drinks. Obviously the communal chest pays for the materials because those things aren't manufactured and purchased for free but in essence this is the way of community should be this is what the Lord called us to be and if we were like this there would be no strife there would be no war there would be no grief or poverty or mass sickness or plague. No individual is wealthy and no individual has poverty this is Howard community should be. It requires faith and devotion and belief and commitment. Unfortunately things mostly lost in our modern economy. Thank you for sharing this this is such a glimpse into how it should have been and how it should be.

When the Amish need to build something, they do not go to the Planning board to be told, we will get back to you in a few months. They go to their family, friends and neighbors. They do not go to the building Inspector to pull permits and pay fees. They sit down with the family friends and neighbors and show them the plans of what needs to be built. They do not build to village, town or city code. They build to last a hundred or more years. The Amish know how to help Thy Neighbor!
