I had the opportunity to document a local group of Amish moving a large barn by hand and it was quite an interesting and fascinating thing to be a part of.
Neil, there is an Amish community about 60 miles from here… but, in our area we have Mennonites. They have different rules about equipment use, technology and such. But, their work ethic and sense of community is very similar. In 1993 I was wanting to have my first shop built. One of my buddies worked in construction as a carpenter. So I asked him to have his boss quote on building me that shop. After getting their quote, learning that it would be two months before they could start and four weeks to build it… another friend recommended a Mennonite barn builder. So, I contacted them for a quote. The builder quoted me 25% less, a starting date in two weeks and a three day build. I accepted it on the spot. When I told my carpenter buddy that I was going to have them build it, he warned that I wouldn’t be happy. He said that they don’t build barns the same way that his crew does. And, that they don’t pay taxes… so they are taking jobs away from other workers. Just as promised, the Mennonites showed up on time and built the shop in ONLY two days. As far as actual working time, they built it in 14 hours. When it was finished, my buddy, the carpenter came by to look at the job. He began showing me all of the things that he said were wrong… For example: they used 6 x 6 posts instead of 4 x 4’s. They used 2 x 8 purlins instead of 2 x 6’s. The pad was poured after the barn was built… instead of putting it on the pad. They also used trusses instead of rafters. He explained that all of those things ran up the price or cut corners. I listened and told him that I would have to live with my decision. And Neil, I must confess, that I have done so happily. That was in 1993. I kept his number and gave it to friends and neighbors who also used his company to have their garages, barns and sheds built. In 2014 I called that number again to have my shop doubled in size. The man who came out to look was the son of the man who had previously ran the company. He remembered helping his father build the original shop when he was a child. What’s surprised me most was that he remembered not only building it, but who I was. He also knew that I had recommended him to build the garage and shop for my neighbors. And, you guessed it. I hired him to build the extension on my shop. Since then , I also had them build a machine shed… So when I did some work for a family amusement park, I recommended that barn builder to build the visitor center. When I went by to watch the progress, it was not only he but several in his crew who welcomed me like old friends. So yes, they have a great community and a strong work ethic but they also remember others who help them. I wouldn’t be surprised if those Amish remember that you helped them move that barn.
That is a great recount Dave. Very much the same of the Amish around here. I’m glad you found a lifelong crew that would be back time and time again to assist with any building need. That’s getting harder to find these days too. When we built the addition to our house I asked my Amish neighbors to quote it. They told me they’d do it for the price of materials and wages for their employees, but they wouldn’t charge me. They treated me as a neigh and that’s all I could ask. I plowed the snow from their driveway every time it snowed from there on out until they moved. The Amish community around here is growing by leaps and bounds too! They are the only ones with an expanding birth rate and it has been apparent in the last couple decades. That’s the only beef we’d have is that we’re all competing for the same bits of land. At least we know we’ll have good neighbors! Have a great week!
The boy at the end, showing you around and giving you the details of things, was awesome. What a smart young boy. Teamwork and community is a powerful thing. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve gone through all your videos, some twice! I hate having to wait until Sunday mornings for the new ones. You do a great job with filming, editing and narration. It really shows in your videos compared to other people’s content. Great job!
Little fella at the end has been brought up well. The Amish community is definitely one of a kind. We are lucky we are only a few hours from Lancaster, PA and love going there.
Neal, you are absolutely correct. If we could all get along and respect each other like the Amish do, this world would be a much better place. We built a house 2 years ago( my girlfriend actually did the GC) . The Amish and Mexicans were the best contractors to deal with. They came in did the work and we’re gone. All the others would show up, leave early, or not show up at all. Thanks for sharing the move.
That was amazing and thanks for sharing! We lived in PA for 12 yrs and saw the Amish work ethic first hand. You are 100% correct about their commitment to community. We had them build a detached 14’x24’ garage that I wish we could have brought with us to FL. Thanks again for sharing
You hoped that I liked it? I absolutely loved it ! I look forward to your videos every week Neil, thx, for so many things, like sharing your part of our world, your community and the small parts of your family life are treasures, plus you do a very good job of making entertaining videos.
Thanks Neil. I have heard about how the Amish raise barns but never actually saw it. All I can say it was incredible. Imagine if all of America lent a helping hand like this our country would be magnificent.
Brilliant film as usual Neil and I fully agree about your views on the Amish. I am in the UK and involved in animal rescue and have seen several very sad films in the last year of beautiful horses being rescued from slaughter, they were taken there by the Amish and they were in a very sad and unhealthy state, worn into old age rather than retired gracefully in a field. This is such a sad state of affairs. The rescued animals were given an excellent retirement with their own kind.
Gm Neil, thanks for sharing this! Was fascinating to watch And listen to the Amish work thru and complete a project. You have a lot in common with their methods too. I hope you had a great weekend, tournaments went well.... Looking forward to catching up this week sir!
Neil, one of best parts of your videos they are always about family, community, and hard work. A genuine recipe for a great way of life, keep up the great work.
The ending lol Kids are kids, no matter what. I grew up in Southern Illinois around the Amish as well, and have done lots of work with them, great people.
What an amazing video. The Mennonite and Amish Communities are very hard working people. Ive been very lucky in my life to have worked along side some of these folks here in Ontario Canada. Ive seen first hand how quickly they come together to tackle a project. One good example was when their fertilizer plant burnt they had guys there the next day tearing down the building and rebuilding a new building in a matter of 4 days. The building department didn't even have time to approve the permit before they completed the work. Most will look after their neighbors even if your not part of the community. Thanks for sharing
Moving the barn was nice an all, but the son of the new owner was impressive! That young man (I'm guessing 8-10) was plugged in. He knew everything that happened and what still needed to be done. He held a conversation with an adult without his parents present.
That community is something everybody should aim for. You can do almost everything solo but helping each other makes it a lot better. Team work makes dreamwork !
I watch a lot of your videos. I enjoy their variety. And this is one of my new favorites and I think your comments about their community is very well said. Not very many of us can influence 350 people at the same time.
Witnessed your neighbors over by Bull Rapids Rd lose a very large chicken barn and part of home during a tornado 10 yrs ago. The very next day, Amish had the majority of the barn framed up and the house had new sheathing, tar paper, and shingles installed. I'm with you, we have to appreciate the work ethic and how they always come together as a community and get it done.
You asked what the first words would be, to describe the Amish. My first thought was Community! Turns out I was right, Yipee!! That is from a non American! We don't claim to know a lot about other communities, but that is something we do (or rather some of us) know. Yet again Neil, you've done it! Produced something from an idea, and turned it to your advantage into a video! 10/10 for the effort and assistance you all put into the move. The speed of it was incredible, considering the obstacles that were encountered. Thanks for filming it and showing us how they do it! From UK.
Thanks Neil, I lived around an Amish community for a number of years, and your right, the sense of community is strong, really enjoyed watching, brought back good memories.
The young Amish boy is very smart and knowledgeable! Very impressed! Most modern of grown men don't have the attitude and work ethic that young man has!
I live in Canada, specifically Perth County in Ontario. We have a large Amish and Mennonite population in this area and in Waterloo Region. They are great people and sell great furniture! Plus their produce they grow and sell at the road is also great. Its always interesting around harvest time when you see the little piles of wheat all done by hand!
What a wonderful video. Some of my best friends are Amish - and most honest and straightforward! You helped bring up some great memories. I could keep on telling you Amish stories.
I have lived down in Florida my whole life and there is nothing like that around here in central FL. It is more like NY down here. I live in the south and it's more southern by you. It is neat to see the Amish at work. Thanks Neil, good stuff. 😊
Well, there's always another way to get things done, they say. Fat chance of any of us finding this many friends and neighbors to help out like that. Pretty amazing for sure. Great video Neil. Maybe one of your best as there is a real lesson to be learned. Not how to move a barn, but how we all should get along with each other and pull in the same direction.
We have a few Amish out here in South Dakota, but by far, the biggest branch of the Anabaptist folk we have here are the Hutterites. They tend to live in 'colonies' of a few hundred apiece, with communal living arrangements, a big garden, and some kind of business (usually some kind of livestock operation or manufacturing). Before my city switched to online bidding only for its annual surplus auction, it was not uncommon to see a few Hutterite men among the bidders. Sometimes after a particular piece of equipment was auctioned off, you could see one step away and make a quick call on a cell phone back to the colony.
How cool is that to be a part of a project like that. Man I can't help but think how much BBQ and beer it would have taken to get a group together like that.
Another job well done on a good vid. A realtor in Illinois told me that four Amish families purchased a farm here. They payed 20% more than asking price because the widow did not want to sell the ground to Amish farmers. They gave her $5,000,00.00 In cash at the closing in four suit cases. My grandpa , a Mennonite, helps construct 14 big barns, a dozen houses and too many out buildings to count in and around Johnson County , Iowa in the 30's 40's and 50's.
I love this video I grew up not far from you In Leo. I had Amish classmates in school, my best friend’s dad was a home builder in Harlan and had Amish employees. My grandparents lived in Goshen and rented one of the homes on their farm to an Amish family. When my grandfather retired he bought an old 12 passenger van to haul Amish around to their work and my uncle has followed in his footsteps. I recently found that I have Amish ancestry on both side of my family and my best friend is actually a distant cousin of mine.
I almost forgot to mention my aunt and uncle bought a home in Ohio that was set to be demolished so a new school could be built. They had the Amish move it from that location to their farm.
That's a great video. It's definitely cool to learn about the Amish. I like landing my drone on my truck bed cover. So I set my drone to home to the cover since it's a large flat location
Some people look down on certain groups that don't use electricity. I don't know why - they tend to be a lot stronger then those that use it. I've often used the tools of the 17 and 1800s and they require a lot more energy, stamina, and strength to do the same job as cordless tools. I've always respected the Amish and other groups like them, and I've been a bit jealous of their sense of community. I use a similar thought process in my life - do what you can when you can. I've been disabled for over 20 years, I've found if I do a little bit each day I can get a lot done over time. It's much like your working on the mower - work on one piece at a time.
I have seen smaller buildings moved like this. When I was planning for my post frame building I decided I wanted Perma-Columns used. They are located in Ossian Indiana. I chose a builder they were associated with to put my building up. I think I have a well made building but we did have some disagreements Amish crew. The final day I wanted to take a picture of the crew in front of the building. They told me they did not like having their picture taken. On another occasion I took my boat to an Amish canvas shop to have a new cover made. When I went to pick it up he had not added some features I wanted. We had made sketches and I thought it was very clear what I wanted. He grudging agreed to correct. When I went back again the changes were made. He had ripped his label off and the trailer coupler had been smashed too much for me to hook up. With extensive beating and pounding with tools I had with me I got it to go on the ball and he promised to buy me a new coupler. Never happened. I have mixed emotions when I hear Amish made.
You might could put large different colored sheets or flags on each wall then you could say go green or lil red lol. Great job that was awesome to watch.
I'm in central Virginia and we have a similar population of Amish community members. Much like you we have Amish run grocery stores, hardware, volunteer firefighters etc
Bonjour Neil. Cette nouvelle vidéo est l’illustration même que l’union fait la force. Quel que soit les difficultés, l’entraide est le meilleur moyen de surpasser et déplacer les montagnes. Passez un superbe dimanche. Amicalement.
That little Amish kid knows more about working hard and getting stuff done than 90% of American adults. What a treat.
He’ll be running a construction business one day!
IMO this is some of your best work Neil. Accomplished very respectfully, which isn't easy.

Have a great week!
That’s awesome! Thanks for the detailed experience.
'Use 6x6 instead of 2x4, 2x8 instead of 2x6'.......sounds like sturdier to me, not 'worse'.
That was fun to watch, that little guy definitely gave you the grand tour. He knew what he was talking about, that's for sure.
Quite a neat accent as well.
Yeah he sure did!
The boy at the end, showing you around and giving you the details of things, was awesome. What a smart young boy. Teamwork and community is a powerful thing. Thanks for sharing.
The best part of the video happened by accident! :)
I’ve gone through all your videos, some twice! I hate having to wait until Sunday mornings for the new ones. You do a great job with filming, editing and narration. It really shows in your videos compared to other people’s content. Great job!
Great video. The little kid at the end was great. Great community
I bet the boy understood more about construction than most men!
Little fella at the end has been brought up well. The Amish community is definitely one of a kind. We are lucky we are only a few hours from Lancaster, PA and love going there.
That little boy is so adorable with his accent and being all grown up about what worked and what did not :D
Neal, you are absolutely correct. If we could all get along and respect each other like the Amish do, this world would be a much better place. We built a house 2 years ago( my girlfriend actually did the GC) . The Amish and Mexicans were the best contractors to deal with. They came in did the work and we’re gone. All the others would show up, leave early, or not show up at all. Thanks for sharing the move.
The tenacity of the Amish is accompanied by their humility. They have committed themselves to He who is all Truth.
That was amazing and thanks for sharing! We lived in PA for 12 yrs and saw the Amish work ethic first hand. You are 100% correct about their commitment to community. We had them build a detached 14’x24’ garage that I wish we could have brought with us to FL. Thanks again for sharing
That was 100 percent awesome. Thanks for sharing this with us.
That kid at the end was a hoot. He is wise beyond his years, for sure. Thanks for sharing Neil.
so nice to see a different look on the amish community. a candide and without bias view or judgement
You hoped that I liked it? I absolutely loved it ! I look forward to your videos every week Neil, thx, for so many things, like sharing your part of our world, your community and the small parts of your family life are treasures, plus you do a very good job of making entertaining videos.
Thanks Neil. I have heard about how the Amish raise barns but never actually saw it. All I can say it was incredible. Imagine if all of America lent a helping hand like this our country would be magnificent.
For sure!
Neil, your videos are the best part of my Sunday morning routine!! Love watching them!!!
Thanks!
Love how the lil kid at end knows everything going on. He can probably already frame a house. Awesome video
Brilliant film as usual Neil and I fully agree about your views on the Amish. I am in the UK and involved in animal rescue and have seen several very sad films in the last year of beautiful horses being rescued from slaughter, they were taken there by the Amish and they were in a very sad and unhealthy state, worn into old age rather than retired gracefully in a field. This is such a sad state of affairs. The rescued animals were given an excellent retirement with their own kind.
Gm Neil, thanks for sharing this! Was fascinating to watch And listen to the Amish work thru and complete a project. You have a lot in common with their methods too. I hope you had a great weekend, tournaments went well.... Looking forward to catching up this week sir!
Many thanks!
i grew up over hardin/logan counties in western ohio - old order amish was in the area, we always helped other , - got to give respect
That was cool! If I could get 3 or 4 people to show up it would be a Christmas miracle 😂😂 nice job!
I got a good laugh off those kids at the end, looks like they got a stern look too. great video. Happy sunday!
Thanks Neil for a great video. The Amish are fascinating people. Hard working and old school.
Neil, one of best parts of your videos they are always about family, community, and hard work. A genuine recipe for a great way of life, keep up the great work.
What a fascinating and enjoyable video! A case of too many cooks perhaps? Thanks Neil. 👍💪
The ending lol Kids are kids, no matter what. I grew up in Southern Illinois around the Amish as well, and have done lots of work with them, great people.
Good morning Neil!! I live about an hour East of a very large Amish community in PA. Their work ethic is incredible!
Morning!
What an amazing video.

Thanks for the view. It is very interesting to see the process and effort in there community. Cool you where able to be a part and show us. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Good Morning Sir, It is an OUTSTANDING Community Achievements ( planning is everything's ) 👍😇👌💪🙏 Be Well Sir and Thank You Cheers 🍻🍻
Moving the barn was nice an all, but the son of the new owner was impressive! That young man (I'm guessing 8-10) was plugged in. He knew everything that happened and what still needed to be done. He held a conversation with an adult without his parents present.
What a wonderful effort and community spirit! The two boys in the last twenty seconds are priceless.😊 Boys just being boys! Thank you, Neil!
The Amish Community is what we should look to when it comes to a sense of what it means to work TOGETHER on things. Truly impressive.
Amazing what any community can do when they work together. You live in an amazing and diverse area. You’re so lucky.
That community is something everybody should aim for. You can do almost everything solo but helping each other makes it a lot better. Team work makes dreamwork !
That was heart warming Neil. Thanks for the effort.
Good morning Neil, God bless you & your family
I watch a lot of your videos. I enjoy their variety. And this is one of my new favorites and I think your comments about their community is very well said. Not very many of us can influence 350 people at the same time.

Very cool video. Thanks for taking time to record this.
Thanks Neil, I lived around an Amish community for a number of years, and your right, the sense of community is strong, really enjoyed watching, brought back good memories.
I saw a RUclips video where an Amish barn burned down and a new barn was completely built on the same site within a week!
Thanks for providing great content. Its nice to see you mixing it up
Thanks for taking us along....AMAZING❤
The young Amish boy is very smart and knowledgeable! Very impressed! Most modern of grown men don't have the attitude and work ethic that young man has!
Absolutely! He pays attention when Dad is talking!
AMAZING! Thanks, Neil for sharing this Spectacular event with us, just absolutely AMAZING! I hope to see you on the next one neighbor.
Amazing, thank you
I live in Canada, specifically Perth County in Ontario. We have a large Amish and Mennonite population in this area and in Waterloo Region. They are great people and sell great furniture! Plus their produce they grow and sell at the road is also great. Its always interesting around harvest time when you see the little piles of wheat all done by hand!
WOW, that was pretty impressive....
That was wonderful!!!! Thanks, Neil and bravo to everyone involved! 😀
That was Awesome
What a wonderful video. Some of my best friends are Amish - and most honest and straightforward! You helped bring up some great memories. I could keep on telling you Amish stories.
Oh the cute kid at the end ❤
How many little boys have the mindset to explain that. 🥰❤️
It's pretty cool how the Amish do that. Neat that you got to partake.
That was a fun video you put together...love the ending with the kids and the camera! 😄
The Amish will still be there when we are all but a memory.
Super cool to witness let alone be a part of.
Always something interesting going on, who ever says farm community life is boring has no idea what they are talking about.
Impressive...we would love to live in your area!
I love the amish grow up with them all my life (homes county Ohio)
Thanks for the exposure. Movement by hands together ❤
I have lived down in Florida my whole life and there is nothing like that around here in central FL. It is more like NY down here. I live in the south and it's more southern by you.
It is neat to see the Amish at work.
Thanks Neil, good stuff. 😊
I agree the little guy at the end hard working attitude and so knowledgeable for his age!
That was amazing
0:18 absolutely EPIC !
13:24 Sunday 13th.X.2024 in Poland ! sit back and relax and enjoy the show !
Well, there's always another way to get things done, they say. Fat chance of any of us finding this many friends and neighbors to help out like that. Pretty amazing for sure. Great video Neil. Maybe one of your best as there is a real lesson to be learned. Not how to move a barn, but how we all should get along with each other and pull in the same direction.
Thanks for the perspective. I hope you did something to the bronco that day too 😀
😉
WOW Great video Neil so kool to see all those people working together never seen anything like it!!!!!
Thanks Neil, enjoyed the video. Cute kids; great hardworking people.
Thank you so much for sharing, I have gained knowledge one again! Respectfully, Wally
That was a great video, we have an Amish community about and hour north of us here in North East MS , great people
Such a cool video. All your vids are awesome!

Best video yet!!
that little kid made my day!
Just when you think you’ve seen it all lol. Great video Neil! Stay safe and have a great day…
Neil, you need to make that kid a guest star.😊
Another job well done on a good vid.
A realtor in Illinois told me that four Amish families purchased a farm here.
They payed 20% more than asking price because the widow did not want to sell the ground to Amish farmers.
They gave her $5,000,00.00
In cash at the closing in four suit cases.
My grandpa , a Mennonite, helps construct 14 big barns, a dozen houses and too many out buildings to count in and around Johnson County , Iowa in the 30's 40's and 50's.
I pray America finds it's core values again. Lord willing.
What a beautiful thing
Loved watching
I love this video I grew up not far from you In Leo. I had Amish classmates in school, my best friend’s dad was a home builder in Harlan and had Amish employees. My grandparents lived in Goshen and rented one of the homes on their farm to an Amish family.

Thank you !
Excellent video we could all learn something from this one
That's a great video. It's definitely cool to learn about the Amish.
I like landing my drone on my truck bed cover. So I set my drone to home to the cover since it's a large flat location

tellement beau de voir ce travail d equipe il sont vraiment formidable
I don’t agree with the Amish on much but great respect for their work ethic and sense of community. We could all take a lesson in that.
I have seen smaller buildings moved like this.

We had made sketches and I thought it was very clear what I wanted. He grudging agreed to correct. When I went back again the changes were made. He had ripped his label off and the trailer coupler had been smashed too much for me to hook up. With extensive beating and pounding with tools I had with me I got it to go on the ball and he promised to buy me a new coupler. Never happened.
I have mixed emotions when I hear Amish made.
You might could put large different colored sheets or flags on each wall then you could say go green or lil red lol. Great job that was awesome to watch.
I'm in central Virginia and we have a similar population of Amish community members. Much like you we have Amish run grocery stores, hardware, volunteer firefighters etc
So it appears we have an up and coming construction supervisor there at the end.
Bonjour Neil. Cette nouvelle vidéo est l’illustration même que l’union fait la force. Quel que soit les difficultés, l’entraide est le meilleur moyen de surpasser et déplacer les montagnes.
Passez un superbe dimanche.
Amicalement.
Merci
