Tour the inside of our Amish Farm House

[@ElvinaDumoulin]

I feel sad to see Amish leaving their farms but the houses were well built,the land is well kept so there's nothing much to complain about,is there?

[@appalachianmercantile]

I agree! I told the ones we know here that no one else is allowed to sell now that we have our property. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@appalachianmercantile]

Well, you have asked the unanswerable question - I've been able to answer them all until now. LOL We gave the previous owner cash and he left it. We all figured it would be easier if he just bought a new one when he got moved and we wouldn't have to put one together. (Although he did overcharge us by double!! That's another story....) It is steel, not portable, not aluminum. (I did an internet search to see if I could find it for you.) There is no identifying brand on it. I do know it is also available in a couple sizes. Mine is not the largest one - my king size sheets are too big for one side. The local Amish down here sell them, so if you have an Amish community near you, you may want to check with them.

We need some place for the kids when they come to stay. We have 6 adult children and they have children. We didn't choose it because of the bedrooms - we chose it because of everything else. :) Having that door on the stairs allows us to not have to heat the whole thing.

[@MyFavoriteColorIsBLUE]

@Appalachian Mercantile I know that as I get older, it's alot harder to get up and down steps, that's why I asked. I have a 3 bedroom split foyer and I have fallen a couple of times. But if you are in good shape, then it shouldn't be a problem.
