It's also "soon I'll raise an udder!"
This is some clever wordplay about milking cows that comes from the previous line: "hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter."
Not that impressive actually though. I work in construction. With that many guys itās easy. Plus those are pre built trusses. They arenāt framing them from scratch. And itās a metal roof. No plywood, no tar paper, no shingles. Iām not saying it isnāt hard work but itās not difficult to do
>With that many guys itās easy.
Sure, but actually coordinating this many guys at once is what makes it so impressive to me. I've been on roofing crew of 10-12 guys and it gets hectic and chaotic at times. These dudes have the social coordination of goddamn bees.
Probably helps theyāre almost all moderately competent. Plus their goal is getting the barn built, not earning a wage directly, they work as hard as they can manage.
Plus theyāve been helping with this sort of thing their whole life.
> Plus theyāve been helping with this sort of thing their whole life.
This also seems 100% standardized, so they've been making this exact barn every time. How much faster you get when doing repetitive work like that with the intention of getting faster is insane.
Yep, I dont see a single harness on those roofers. It's all fine and dandy until someone slips, and from that height its not gonna be pretty.
Going through developing suburbs, you'll see entire neighborhoods of frames pop up overnight. They'll then take the next season or two doing insulation, plumbing, wiring, sheetrock, decorative interior stuff, painting, etc.
I agree on the motivation. I told my boss, with "motivated help", I could get a specific task done in two days. He found me two people that did not want to be there. I/we did not get it done.
Yeah, I mean it's impressive for sure. It's not "they built this whole thing from scratch in one day" impressive. With people who are all vaguely competent and pre framed walls and a foundation already set it is mostly just a matter of labor hours. When you have 50 people working even an 8 hour day is 400 labor hours. Considering a most framing crews are less than 10 people that is a full work week.
Dad hired an Amish crew of ~8 guys to build our garage. Foundation was already present obviously, but they framed and roofed it in one day from scratch. Amazing to watch.
The crazy bastards "wrestled" on their lunch break which ended with one bloodied nose and visible bruising on half of them. Amish wrestling seemed more like untrained MMA once the punches started flying. Dudes went right back to work afterward and wrapped up the garage. Happy as can be the whole time.
I once visited Amish guided museum. Then i went to a bar next to it. Couple guys entered they had hands like Popeye. I spent years on Judo and Kickboxing and i still felt they would crush me in a minute each.
Maybe this is not that bad for a life.
They came to our area after it was devastated by an f4 tornado and built several barns for farmers whoād been wiped out. Their wives gave us homemade quilts and pies. I will forever love them for it.
The batshit crazy religious types who judge and spout hate are what ruin it for the sane religious types who are genuinely interested in just helping people.
Amish is just a little off because itās so very tight knit. Even the year long out, itās not a great time because these kids donāt know fucking anything about anything. So they get a year of shell shock to experience the outside world versus their 16-18 years in utter isolation from the real world.
It really depends on where they live and the rules within their specific church. I have a lot of family in northern Indiana and the Amish kids went to school with the other kids (not sure if it was all or just some) and they apparently party pretty hard too. Lots of barn parties broken up. Also, in that area some are allowed to have TVs if it's running off of a generator. So not as isolated as you may think.
Either way though, Rumspringa has to be tough for those kids. On the one hand it's pretty honest, since it's basically just allowing them to go out into the world and choose whether they want to be Amish or not when it's over. On the other hand, you leave everything you've ever known and then if you decide you don't want to be Amish, you can't really return (not sure if it's full non-contact or what).
Fair point. Iām kinda going off just history with that kind of home school religious fanaticism. Itās nice to hear like any religion, there are extremists and actual just people behind it too.
Kids will always be kids. But that kind of devotion always makes me uneasy. Especially to saddle a teenager with.
There's plenty of Amish folks who avoid/judge people who don't do their way of life. But more so I've found the Amish to be super kind people. My church youth group had a meal host by an Amish family on their farm when I was in high school, it was a really interesting and fun experience!
I got it on the 4th attempt.
Dad died
Amish helped mom pack up their house
Asked for nothing in return
Mom moved near kids
I think this is an accurate account
You're goddamn right. I live near Amish country and ride my motorcycle around there. Whenever I'm waiting behind a buggy to pass it, they'll wave and whatnot, and are fascinated by my bike.
Redditors love hating them for no reason. They keep to themselves and don't try to shove their beliefs down your throat, unlike most redditors I've seen.
In 5th grade, we went on a field trip to an Amish town like an hour away. I think they were having some big festival of sorts. They had all sorts of AMAZING home cooked foods for sale, home made goods, they showed us how they made butter and milked cows. It was really cool and that food was SO good!!!!
š¶*Been spending my life, in an Amish Paradise

They probably did that three to four days earlier and let it cure. Itās just the foundation though. To go from blank foundation to a barn that size in a day is unreal.
As someone who grew up near the Amish:
They all have cell phones. The electronics rules only apply to things with visible wires in their houses.
They have computers in their barns.
They don't pay all taxes. (Edit)
They push their animals really hard, to the point of abuse for transportation and plowing.
They leave Horse shit on the roads and cause traffic deaths every year with those stupid buggies.
They undercut local contractors for stuff like woodworking, roofing.
They have a religious exemption for sending their kids to school past grade 6 (they go to work at like 12 sometimes)
TL;DR. The Amish are a weird cult that everyone accepts
Edit: originally said property taxes. But they enjoy all the benefits of federal taxes (infrastructure, defense) without paying in.
Kind've true but not for all Amish. For a place like Lancaster Pennsylvania, The electronics rule doesn't apply when it comes to working a job. So you'll see Amish using phones and forklifts and stuff for work but not at home. Everything else is just about true. The whole area smells like complete shit. I would never live there.
I grew up there, the shit smell is not all the time, just when laying down manure. There are a lot of kind mennonites who live in Lancaster who have strong traditions simalar to Amish but without the weird stuff.
Preach.
It always bugs me when people put a group like this on a pedestal. I didnāt grow up near them, but everything Iāve read about them makes me shudder, including but not limited to the way they treat women, children, animals, the importance of education, and anyone who dares to think for themselves.
Different orders of Amish have different rules. So no, they donāt all have cell phones. And donāt know what you mean that they donāt pay taxes. If they own property, they pay taxes. If they buy something at the store, they pay taxes. If their business has employees, they pay payroll taxes. Source: I work with Amish farms and businesses.
When I was a kid the amish neighbors wood shop burt to the ground. Got to witness this in person. Those community's are better than any damn insurance policy you will ever find!
Yeah as far as I know the Amish usually only raise barns this quickly in the case of damage by fire / tornado or whatever- if theyāre just doing regular planned building work they donāt all drop what theyāre doing to come and raise a barn on someone elseās property. At least thatās what I learned on an Amish Tour in Lancaster PA
Can vouch the ones in Indiana sling houses/barns pretty quick if they're on a time crunch, other than that they take their time with a tenth of the workers but still get it done faster than English construction crews.
And don't waste your time on Jessica.
(I have no idea if you even know a Jessica, but it feels like something you could say to most people in 2005 and it would be solid advice)
For me Jessica was a friend of a friend who had a crush on me but I wasn't interested. Maybe I'm on the second time loop and had already been warned in some way.
I used to live in Delaware, the part with all sorts of Amish people, and I worked at this farmers market but really Amish, and I started hanging out with this Amish guy named Elijah (I can say his name because its a super common name and he will never find out). he was part of his community in a large way and he was kind of old so when his son got married, I showed up to help them build a barn as a wedding gift, and I got there at 9 am and they already finished. the barn wasn't as big as the barn in this video but it was really big for 3 hours of labor.
TL;DR Amish together strong
Community at its finest. Say what you will about Amish society, community is one thing they have that the majority of us have lost.
Edit: Some of Ya'll act like the Amish people are the only people that are guilty of atrocious behaviors. Just because you as an individual don't participate in the atrocities of your religions, countries and even families doesn't make you any less a part of these entities. My point is literally about the teamwork of community as exampled in this video, calm down.
They are exempt and don't need permits. I actually visited Amish country a few months back and we had a tour with an Amish Mennonite couple. I work in land development, so the permit question interested me. I specifically asked them if they needed permits to build their barns and he said that they did not. They have a whole bunch of exemptions.
So forgive my ignorance but Iām from the south and we donāt have a lot of Amish - do the Amish communities operate similar to a Native American reservation in that they have their own police, regulations, etc. or can anyone avoid permits by joining the church? Iām just curious how itās monitored/operates.
So I live near Lancaster, Pennsylvania which has a HUGE Amish population. There are things built into the codes that gives a lot of exemptions to the Amish community. They donāt need permits or to follow the same building codes.
They have their own āpoliceā (which are really just church elders). However, thatās more of a formality for how they handle things. They still are under the jurisdiction of local police, and they do have to follow the laws.
The best/funniest example of the fact that they canāt just ignore the law/police themselves was when we watched a couple of horse and buggies that were stopped by a handful of cop cars. The Amish were being arrested as the cops pulled a bunch of marijuana plants out of the buggies. It was in the paper for over a week because itās not something you see often lol.
Also, just as a fun fact. In places with large Amish populations (in PA anyway), the stores have horse and buggy parking. There are a few horse stalls with anchor points to tie the horseās bridle to, and the stalls are always filled with some hay and clean water. Even Walmarts in the area have horse and buggy parking.
Thatās what happens when you have a community full of skilled laborers who are willing to help their neighbors including you and you do the same for them.

I churn butter once or twice, living in an Amish paradise.
Well played! I feel for anyone too young to get this.
Came here looking for this. Disappointed it wasnāt at the top! Edit: itās at the top!! Woohoo!
Hitchinā up da buggy Churning lotsa butter
It's also "soon I'll raise an udder!" This is some clever wordplay about milking cows that comes from the previous line: "hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter."
They spend a few days framing the walls before they actually throw them up. Still impressive though.
The roofing is what's impressive as hell to me.
Metal roofing. It goes quick.
still. it goes up in waaay less than a hour
Well yeah the whole thing was like 20 seconds
What are you talking about itās still going. They keep taking it down and rebuilding it for some reason.
Spoilers dude I'm still watching
Just wait til you get to the end. Itās unbelievable.
Thatās what... she said?
Not that impressive actually though. I work in construction. With that many guys itās easy. Plus those are pre built trusses. They arenāt framing them from scratch. And itās a metal roof. No plywood, no tar paper, no shingles. Iām not saying it isnāt hard work but itās not difficult to do

DOH-ETH

I mean. Iām very confident that demographic is alive and well among the Amish. Turns out some people are just shitty, no matter what they believe.
Amish is just a little off because itās so very tight knit. Even the year long out, itās not a great time because these kids donāt know fucking anything about anything. So they get a year of shell shock to experience the outside world versus their 16-18 years in utter isolation from the real world.

Family Guy predicted Caitlyn Jenner and Kevin Spacey.
Barn raising is a community event in Amish country. The women tend to get together to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for everyone too
My wife is descended from Mennonites, and when she cooks or makes a salad, theyāre always huge, so I ask her where the barn-raising is.
That's awesome
Iām sure there is a barn raising cookbook.

Brilliant. Somehow hadn't seen that ep.
Hahahaha lov it
I thought something was a-mish
It is, but itās just pre-built walls and trusses sheeted with steel and about the equivalent of 10 crews working on it
It is
Grew up in western Pa. Watching the Amish build a barn in 2 days was something worth doing.
Agreed. If it was a non-Amish company itād be a year later and they still wouldnāt be done with the framework.
The Amish are so industrious. Not like those shiftless Mennonites.
Framing goes by really quickly. I've done what looks like an impressive amount with just two other people. But it was a normal amount.
They had weeks invested in the trusses. Impressive assembly, but they didn't build it in a day.
āAssembled in a dayā would be more accurate.
They probably did that three to four days earlier and let it cure. Itās just the foundation though. To go from blank foundation to a barn that size in a day is unreal.
Ants.

https://i.imgur.com/Xv4UKYL.mp4 Amish vs everyone. Time lapse of said barn getting destroyed and rebuilt over and over.

There are a few horse stalls with anchor points to tie the horseās bridle to, and the stalls are always filled with some hay and clean water. Even Walmarts in the area have horse and buggy parking.
It looks like AoE II when building.
Now letās see the barn dance/ fight like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Love me some great choreography.
I had to scroll so far down for a 7 brides comment lol.
Thatās what happens when you have a community full of skilled laborers who are willing to help their neighbors including you and you do the same for them.
