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

[@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.

Saw the Amish community many years ago in HoneyBrook, PA when an Amish farmer's barn was struck by lightening and destroyed by fire. Within a week this family had a brand new barn including a new foundation, larger than what they lost. Youngsters also had jobs tom. do, the ladies fed the entire crew 3 meals each day. What an experience to watch this community come together for the benefit of one family in their community. Really inspiring.

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. Seeing that entire community rally together to get that done changed something in me. I had never seen so many people that didn't need told what to do. Everyone had a place and everyone instinctively knew what needed done. Truly impressive.

I live in Ontario Canada and the Amish have been buying up farms and vacant farm land in our area and within a month have a full blown working dairy farm. It's amazing to watch how fast they can get it done. It took one neighbor a year to get their house built, yes just a house. It's great to see the Amish as our neighbors and they are using the land for what it is meant for. We have other neighbors from the city moving out here and they just let it go to weeds because they don't want the smells or anybody bothering them.

The man power mustered is one thing, quite astounding. But the logistics for all the materials is quite another feat. I’m astounded that the suppliers even came close to having all materials on hand or even close to it. It had to been pulled in from across the state or many states. Quite an astounding feat. I’ve been in construction for some 40 years and there is no way this could be attained in any other setting other than a community such as this. I’ve built my own home from beginning to end. The number of days passed by, I’d still be waiting for my plans to be approved and permits taken. I did the dirty work and my father scheduled all the materials to be delivered in a timely fashion to keep me trucking along uninterrupted. His help was a huge factor in completing the job in a timely fashion. Thanks pops.
