I've worked with Amish crews on a couple of small jobs. I have never seen better work ethic anywhere else. They get stuff done. No messing around. No loitering. Just work.
Everyone I know who lives in PA, OH, or other states where there are Amish people around says they're the best neighbors you could possibly have. I'm certainly impressed by their work ethic.
I've worked everything from big city commercial construction to residential to bridges and tunnels and never saw a crew as good as these Amish guys. They are fantastic like one fluid fast acting machine all tied together.
@@anand8905 No, the best builders are in no way the germans. Sure, our buildings may last quite a while, but thats thanks to the engineers, architects and the building codes that the project needs to fulfill. If you want a big project done quickly and efficent, don't use german builders. Sure, if you are lucky you get good tradespeople that don't try to get their work done as quickly as possible, but there are quite a lot of tradespeople here that don't do their stuff right. Just look at the building times for the new Berlin Airport. They started building it in 2006, and just finished it three months ago. Was supposed to cost 2 billion euros, in the end it cost almost 8. Same with the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, a big concert house in Hamburg. Took nine years to finnish, when they said it would be done in three, and cost more than eleven times as much as they budgeted for. So if you want overprized, slowly build stuff that may look nice, and if it is done by the right people may even last a little long, then get german builders... German engineering was good in the 50s to the 80s, but since the 2000s quality went down a lot... German building is mainly good because of good building codes, wich make building expansive but the buildings don't collapse if you look at them the wrong way. Oh, and that barn probably wouldn't fulfill german building codes. Mainly because of missing vent-towers (but those are only required on animal barns because of our population densety, so the smell dosn't affect nearby citys, probably not a problem in the USA...) and the wooden construction, that probably wouldn't fulfill fire-prevention codes. Also a really big pond (holding at least a few hundred cubic meters of water) would be needed so that the fire department can acces a lot of water on site.
@@thoughtfox2409 Damn unreal reply. I think a lot of North Americans think quality as soon as they hear "European" I guess I mixed up German engineering with German craftsmanship. I'm a carpenter in Canada and spent some time working in Japan, Northern Americans don't come close to Japanese wood workers/carpenters when it comes to quality/expectations. Cheers for the informative reply!
@@anand8905 I think that North America and the USA in particular have a very different mindset to the Japanese and Europeans. After all, a lot of US-Internet users still seem to think that minimum wage, free healthcare and care for the poor are communistic stuff that will ruin their country, and that the market has to be absolutly free without any intervention (including building codes etc.). And especialy the very free market makes quality unwanted, because it costs time and money, and someone will do it cheaper if you do real quality work. When in reallity you really spend more money with cheaply made stuff... I didn't want to talk german craftsmanship to be bad. We have a lot of good and honest trades-people that do their job as best as they can. To me, it is bad quality and botched work if a newly laid slab path sinks a 5 centimeters in places after two years or so, because the foundation wasn't made as deep as it should have been (now this is without heavy frost, our winters are really mild with more than 0° C on the average day...). The main reason that the Berlin Airport and the Hamburger Elbphilharmonie were delaid as much and cost so much more is probably our political system, as well as the need to get the cheapest bidder when the building contracts are given out... For the BER the main problem was the company that planned the thing, and that had the supervision for the project. Or rather hadn't, because they didn't supervise the thing, and the building codes for airport fire-security had changed during the project, wich nobody noticed. So the fire prevention, detection and supression stuff was not valid anymore when they put it in... If they would have gotten a better, but more expansive company, they could have been done in 2014 and with only a billion or so more for the unplanned changes in the fire-codes... How much stuff is acutally still made with wood in North America and Japan? Carpenters here mostly put in doors and windows, as well as building Drywalls and partially laying floors, and some build (really expansive) furniture. But from what i know in america they still build whole houses out of wood, right? At least i have seen some videos here with houses burning down really fast in the california fires last year, wich shocked me quite a bit, because i am a voluntary firefighter and houses over here tend to burn for hours without collapsing (we usually try to get the fire out quickly, its just that they take ages if you let them burn or the fire is rather big, like the whole roof area...) And yes, what germany usually is known for is Bavaria (Oktoberfest, Prezels and Lederhosen...) and its engineering, although we have some really beautyful old half-timbered houses here, so our craftsmen were quite good too! Best greetings to Canada from Germany!
Great time lapse of the trusses going up barn is coming along nicely, that sure one hard working crew ! Really enjoying learning about the hog side of farming, 🇺🇸✅
my love of the Amish way of life is rooted in there love of all of God's creation. we visit as often as we can and try to purchase the products they produce as often as possible. Brian Petrocine
That's exactly what happened with my dad ,telling him I couldn't wait for whatever it was when I was about 18 ,he told me don't wish your life away ,time will catch you up and the older you get the faster it goes ,yep rolled my eyes he chuckled and said wait and see ,now I'm telling my son exactly the same thing .
Letting them out once in a while also helps when are shipping them, they will move better than pigs that don't ever leave their pens. Nice looking pigs!
That’s good stuff! I grab all the scraps I can. Sawyer’s garage, my wood shop and part of our machine shed is lined with it. Like everything else it has gotten really expensive though. Thanks for watching!
At 5:43 Lol! I asked an old timer Amish guy about the beard thing. He gave me the same answer. I then asked him. "how do you know the women is married" He said "She's pregnant" !!!!!! I just about passed out I was laughing so hard!!
Fun video! This is the easy work. Setting trusses with a simple design plan like they're doing should be quick and easy work. I'm from a similar community in Montana and we do this stuff all time!

Yep, they go faster and faster every year. I have a series of things I have to do for work every Friday. I remember when I was 20 and Friday just couldn’t get here fast enough. I was ready to go out all weekend. Now they come just way too damn fast and all I want to do is go home and rest on the weekend. It’s hell to be playing the back nine of life ain’t it?
Amish churches have different beliefs and rules. Amish people are allowed to use gas powered things. Especially for work. If they wouldn’t be able to use the crane, they would be less efficient. My mom grew up Amish and her church split because half believed they could use tractors, cranes, etc... the other believed that was against their values.
I came across this video because I was curious whether Amish were able to use nail guns and compressors. Now I wonder if they can use the battery cordless ones
The building is really coming along!! How thick is the plywood with laminate referenced towards the end of the video? Seems like a neat product! Is there a technical name for it? In your garage do you only have 1 row of 4x8 sheets hung off the garage floor? Thanks!!
Sorry, to finish your question. In Sawyer’s garage we did a 16” stem wall then a full sheet vertically and then a 24” piece on top. It’s about a 11’6” ceiling. Calked the seams and it’s bulletproof.
at 13 air hoses big long length then shorter one of it keep moving people on the ground keep watch and help man with the gun no problem work with each other
Oh my gosh..... I have been a subscriber for awhile and look up & watcha few of your blogs on my phone but mostly now I stream U-Tube on my TV and since I'm just an old lady, home most of the time I watch mainly cooking channels or homesteading.

The Japanese people are the best carpenters by far. As I understand it's very hard for American men to get on construction crews that specializes in mortise and tennon
Get serious, American framers are fast and furious, especially in Texas. Japanese are slow and expensive, great results but most people can't afford a house that costs twice as much as normal.
@@thomaswayneward is that why Japanese buildings survive tsunamis earthquakes and other natural disasters for centuries, one little twister turns your Lil ol framing job to toothpicks in seconds...but hey, job security right???
@@jesselehmann1643 I built homes in the USA for over fifty years, including some like the Japanese homes. The methods used to build a traditional Japanese home are simple but time consuming and therefore expensive. For the same money a traditional Japanese home costs per square foot, I can build a real stone and brick home that can withstand about anything. Or I can build a wooden one that can withstand anything a traditional Japanese home can withstand. The weak point in a traditional Japanese home, as far as bad weather goes, is the roof. Every home I have ever built has a stronger roof than any Japanese home. Bolt the sole plates down, use plywood with nails as sheathing, use metal rafter ties to connect the rafters to the walls, use metal ties to hold the ridge to the rafters, nail on sheathing for the roof base and you have a strong home. The cost is minimal.
It’s 7’6” I think. Less volume to heat or cool and more control of temperature ceiling to floor. Also easier to keep good velocity on the air moving through the barn. Thanks for watching!

Oh man, it’s crazy. Tough group of people.
At 13:05 you start talking about the pvc Coated plywood.
Where do you purchase that from?
Thank you
Crazy how much flex those trusses have without snapping. Great videos!
When I first saw how they did it, I thought for sure they were gonna snap at least one. But it went good 👌🏻
Depending on the size of the truss, they should have been picking a 2 points. Would have been even less flexing
I had heard of the running of the bulls, but never, until today had I heard of the running of the pigs!! 😮😮😮

How is the manure finally disposed of?
We have an upcoming video dedicated to applying manure so stay tuned. We use the manure from our barns to fertilize next years corn crop.
Osha enters chat: ope nevermind they are amish, lets go home boys
Can anyone tell me what the plywood with pvc panels are actualy called, thanks.
What is he nailing at 9:45? just for the video?
nailing the center of the trusses together, they don't butt together, they overlap in the center

@@jesselehmann1643 I built homes in the USA for over fifty years, including some like the Japanese homes. The methods used to build a traditional Japanese home are simple but time consuming and therefore expensive. For the same money a traditional Japanese home costs per square foot, I can build a real stone and brick home that can withstand about anything. Or I can build a wooden one that can withstand anything a traditional Japanese home can withstand. The weak point in a traditional Japanese home, as far as bad weather goes, is the roof. Every home I have ever built has a stronger roof than any Japanese home. Bolt the sole plates down, use plywood with nails as sheathing, use metal rafter ties to connect the rafters to the walls, use metal ties to hold the ridge to the rafters, nail on sheathing for the roof base and you have a strong home. The cost is minimal.
