A classic example of why Germans are good electricians............Many Hans make light work
Gives a new meaning to "barn raising".

I blame the Planning Department. Should've got it in the right place to start with.
It may have been a gift to a newly wed couple so instead of showing up early one morning to build them a barn they built it then showed up with it already built. all that is missing is a bow and ribbon

Nice to see people get done what needs to get done.
Reminds me of when I was building houses back when I had hair. We lifted whole walls of houses, about 30 feet with enough men, pushed trusses up onto roofs and moved cement via wheel barrows. Not a crane in sight, nor a concrete pump truck. Many things are possible with simple methods if people care to try.
They could have built the barn where they wanted it to be...
Spoken like a single man. "That's nice, but can you move it 6" to the right?" -every wife, ever.Quote:

As much as anything I am impressed by everyone lifting butt down, head up, no back injuries. I teach it nearly every day: Look up when lifting!
mwmkravchenko I remember those damnable 1/3 yard wheelbarrows. Mine still works, curses!
Great collective effort. Where do they get the great hats they all have?
Them hats are to hide the awful haircuts.
Despite their dislike of modern technology, the Amish are extremely healthy people. They don't suffer the health atrocities of modern age, and RARELY get cancer! They follow a simple lifestyle, don't use the chemical-laden products popular in American homes. They grow their own organic food and use heirloom seeds, which means non-GMO. Their community don't rely on herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and their meat and dairy products don't contain any hormones or antibiotics. The Amish rely on traditional medicine and natural remedies to deal with their medical problems. This limits their exposure to live-damaging pharmaceuticals and devastating side-effects of conventional drugs.
In a few words: Amish people live a carcinogen-free life.
They are not diagnosed with cancer. But they also have a strong aversion to technology, so we need to keep that in mind when considering cancer diagnosis rates. But even then cancer diagnosis is about half that of non-Amish populations, which is still quite good. They also don't drink, don't smoke (much) and don't have many of sexual partners, which are all great ways to get admitted to the oncology ward. Also please note that Amish life expectancy is lower than the general populace by about a decade. What is very interesting is Amish have had a 70-ish year life expectancy for hundreds of years, which for a very long time FAR exceeded the non-Amish population. It wasn't until the 1970s that modern medicine caught up, which is really incredible. So they're definitely doing a lot of things right, and we can probably learn a lot from how they live. But I don't agree with you about the GMO part. GMOs aren't dangerous.Quote:

The Amish don't vaccinate their children, and rarely get Autism, Cancer or Heart Disease. Interestingly, the few Amish children diagnosed with Autism are the ones who received vaccinations! Thanks God! The Amish have been cut off from American scientific and medical progress for centuries. The Amish may be decades behind when it comes to technology, but they are decades ahead in the Natural World.Quote:
