Imagine what could happen if the whole country came together this way . This here is a lesson in human spirit , friendship , community , focus , tenacity and family values . What a wonderful display of pride .
@@wayneburnside7819 Wayne , sadly you are correct . They continue to devise ways to divide us into as many groups as they can . It's an age-old strategy . Invented by the Romans , " divide and conquer " . And.....we will continue to live in hope !
They obviously don’t have to pull permits or wait for inspections. It’s amazing to see things being done the right way and free of red tape and government bureaucracy and regulations.
Because this was a rebuild of an existing structure and no changes were made to the footprint, no township planning or approval was required, and most townships give the permit for free or a minimal charge. Had this been an entirely new farm, the owner would have tons of red tape and the process could take a very long time to approve.
This is why I have an unending amount of repect for the Amish. They are a wonderful people. They refrain from modern convieniences to retain this level of community and humility before God. The Amish community as a whole paid for this rebuild too. They live their faith. It was nice to see English crews working too.
Refrain from modern conveniences? You didn't notice the cranes and forklifts? How do you think they fill those silos? Do you think they milk those cows by hand? Mostly, they refrain from excess, a virtue we all could use a little of.
Just amazing! I was watching the "likes" increase in number as the barn was being built, but I think the barn won the day! A great testimony to the hard working men and the women who fed them. I just wish our country could work this way, I know at one time it did.
How grateful that no life was lost, even the animals were spared from this tragic fire! Wonderful to see the Amish community come together to help their own in their time of need. This is a long-time custom and is much admired by the English. We are so happy that their barn has been rebuilt in such a timely manner.😊👍
This is amazing on many levels, I am in my 60th year as a Architectural Technician, I have never seen anything like this. First of all someone had to come up with drawings for this in the first 24 hours, you need a way to take off the materials. Where in the world do you get roof trusses of this magnitude made in three days and assembled in one? Where do you get metal cladding and roofing cut to length and delivered in four days? The effort is a testament to these amazing people. And they rested on the seventh day.
They have their own sources for some of the items like beams. Sometimes they store them on other farms just in case. I lived in Lancaster County for 25 yrs. My husband was involved with them as a produce man. He was welcomed by several Amish families to visit their farms. And had the chance to watch a barn raising after a fire. We have the utmost respect for them. Amazing and kind people.
There is an amish Architect that probably had the prints ready by the next morning theres also amish owned businesses nearby such as lumber yards. timber frame manufacturing, roof truss manufacturing and metal roofing and siding manufacturing as well as many construction companies that put everything on hold to help in a situation like this. It truly is a huge blessing in this area and pray that it is never lost
Lots of Amish where I live in Wisconsin I've worked with them .around here they all have saw mills and have metal business so that After the fire they all start cutting lumber get there dimensions and make the metal so forth all in all there are very nice and helpful even when a non Amish has a fire they come and help any way they can
Praise God that such men and women still exist. This is the result of leaning on God to make a pathway in times of need. Thanks so very much for allowing us to view this beautiful tribute to what can be accomplished when we place our trust in Him and Him alone.🇺🇸🚒🐄🙏🏻
That is so unbelievable. That’s how all communities should come together when a disaster like that happens. They all work together so well and the their craftsmanship is amazing.
We saw the smoke from the fire while traveling to our relatives on Thanksgiving morning. Our route usually takes us along Strasburg Pike but it was closed to traffic. We went home on Monday, passing the barn, they were already well into framing the second floor. Truly amazing what can be accomplished with a hundred carpenters and not waiting around for building permits.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly and efficiently the Amish and menonites can raise a barn. We as English, I think, have a lot to learn from them if only we were not such narrow minded people. Say what you will, but I am always amazed how these people live and survive with far less than the average English household could ever live without. Just think about that.
Never fail to be impressed by these hard working people who practice what they preach and live out their faith through their actions and dedication to fellow members of their own community. Not just a barn in 6 days ... a massive mega-barn that'd swell the chest of any farmer!! Great work!
The Amish are known for their excellent craftmanship in building & everything they do. They are the only people who come together to help those in their community when it's needed & the only ones who help their own people when tragedy hits. I'm 70 yrs old & on my own & would enjoy being part of their community however I have limited income. A GREAT JOB of excellence! Accomplishing that much needed major task of rebuilding in that short time span is hard work. To everyone helping - women & men - it's nice to see people who come together knowing they each have a job/role to do to get it done correctly.
God Bless every one of them. I am verry happy there was NO loss of life or injuries. The rest of the world should follow The Amish and come together. They are so genuine and gentle. If I were there, I would GLADLY volunteer my time to help. God Bless All.
I live a quarter mile from this barn. My wife and I drove by every day watching the progress. I told my wife they would have a new barn up in a week. Lol. I was off by one day.
All this is Voluntary to help rebuild this barn. And they do it all the time. Barns/Houses. What ever is needed. This my friends, Is Real America. 💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
This coming-together of the community to rally behind this farmer who suffered such a devastating loss, to restore his farm and his family's spirit fully, represents the America and Americans we so greatly love and can take such great pride in. The love and devotion shown by everyone here is nothing short of inspirational!
What an astonishing achievement! And what a community. I'm an old, cynical atheist but I was moved to tears several times during this by the sheer determination of everyone, and that includes the power company linesmen too! I nearly forgot, at 28 minutes, is that the highest washing line in the world?! What are the two lines of raised roof fixings on the lower slopes of the roofs?
Line looks like a pulley type line, and it's coming off the back deck which looks to be off the 2nd story. Having it up that high it catches a good breeze and it's out of the way.
Incredible workmanship done by these men What a wonderful world this could be if all of us worked like this together These people and their caring concern for one another is truly a spiritual happening !! 🙏🏻 they all stay safe ❤
That farm is on Strasburg Pike. Next door to Bottom Line Ag Supply. Google map show the original structures before the fire. They built it back bigger and better! God bless they didnt lose any animals. Something to be thankful for your burn burns down ON Thanksgiving. Wooeee. Gotta love the Amish spirit there in Lancaster County PA.😃👍❤️p
Thank you for filming this effort. I too found tears in my eyes! While I knew that this was a typical effort in the Amish community, it was very encouraging to actually see it happening.
Our son worked for the brother-in-law of the owner. They were setting up for wedding services in the loft. Gifts of appreciation for wedding waiters and assistants were lost in the fire. Video shows six days of construction, not sure if it indicated, but cows were milked in the barn that evening. And, two weeks later the wedding or reception was held in the loft.
So impressive its truly magnificent. Wonderful that even non Amish people helped their friend and neighbor we can all learn a valuable lesson from this. God bless them all.👍
This is what needs to happen thru out the United States n help n care for each other the political parties could learn alot too very impressed by the show of care love and community for you fellow man way to set a example
Seriously, this has to be one of the most calming videos i have sat down to watch. Man oh man, for the first time in my life watching human nature at its best. The co-ordination...everyone knowing what to do all at once, exactly at the same time. The time to eat together as one, the special care for the horses, carriages lined up neatly and the horses having a conversation and catching up on all their news.Man, this is absolute total respect for you guys and your women who supported you. Well done. Amen.
Truly amazing and just shows what can be done by people coming together rather than apart like our nation is becoming. Just amazing the camaraderie of everyone in the community. Thank you❤
I think it's wonderful how the non-Amish people came to help. The Amish are obliged to help each other, but the others do it all voluntarily. Big shout out to them!
Reading these skeptics is so ridiculous since I’ve lived in Amish country all my life. No just Amish, but all farmers come together in crisis & help keep the farm going. I also watch a lot of generational family farmers & Farm Rescue. They’re amazing ppl.
Gentlemen, absolutely incredible the amazing teamwork your community demonstrates. For a retired city person, it is amazing to watch a project of this size take shape. God bless you all.
At least all human & animal life was spared/safe and sound from the tragic barn establishment of the fire. God bless all who participated in the rebuilding process of the barn and the adjacent wings of the barn for these wonderful people in this world!!
Wonderful to watch. No nail guns. (Oops, I take that back. I did notice a few.) Reminded me in a good way of the way ants and bees all work together in coordination, each with a role, for their community. So many hands at work the way it used to be. Coordinating this build, planning, figuring out who many supplies were needed and getting them on site at the right time, and directing so many workers is an amazing feat. Whoever was in charge did a fantastic job. And I noticed the huge amount of laundry hung out to dry on a line high in the air. Incredible.
Totally agree about being wonderful to watch. I too, noticed the lack of nail guns and all the other mod cons that builders use these days. What I also noticed, specially in the drone shots, was the total lack of men standing back, doing nothing or on their cell phones...everyone was on the move and doing their bit of the rebuild, without a second thought. And for those of us who might not share their religious beliefs, you have to applaud their ethics and community spirit and that includes the wives who looked after them. Such a huge team effort and thanks for posting this video. Truly inspirational!
They have their own saw mills and as the man said in the beginning the needs of this barn were put first , so any orders that were being worked on were put to use on this job
More like money talks. That's commercial lumber, you think some Amish sawmill had that much laying around? The metal roofing and siding? The milker company and electricians started as soon as the loft floor was completed. The silo repairs weren't shown but the silo company did that on Sunday and Monday. Rental company had equipment there the day after Thanksgiving and thru the weekend. As did the concrete company. Yep, money talks.
@@farmerbill6855The Amish don't have 'A' sawmill they have SEVERAL. They are allowed machinery as long as it is BUSINESS use sanctioned by bishops. Those rental companies likely are Amish run in that neck of the woods. You'd be surprised
@@Og-Judy they don't surprise me, I've seen them buy farm land with cash. Two old school milk cans full of cash. That's commercial, graded lumber. You think they have a block company? That's one of their concrete trucks?
We have Amish in our area that have their own equipment and business that are capable of doing this. Also the largest agricultural building construction company has a large Amish workforce. @@farmerbill6855
There was indeed a time when a work ethic similar to the coming together here was not so very rare as is the case today in these once united States. Always so refreshing to see how a community coming together of it own volition may bring a new start after such a loss, and with no interference of government operatons! Thank You for this Awesome story! -Bob...
Thanks for this video that's done so well !! I've always admired the Amish for their selflessness - The rest of us certainly need to take some lessons !!! Thanks again for your time - Well done !!!
Much like this great team of people, back in the '80s, I was part of the engineering corps in the military. Our camp, home to about 600-700 soldiers and officers, was suddenly called into action one night. We had to clean up after a severe accident: two semi trucks had collided in the countryside, not far from our camp. One was carrying fish, the other a large petrol tank. The crash had caused a fire that burned down four houses. That first night, our task was to clean up the scattered fish from the road, working alongside the fire crew who were busy putting out the house fires. Local road assistance companies helped us move and haul away the wreckage of the semi trucks. The following day, we switched to operating heavy machinery like excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks. We worked in 8-hour shifts, clearing debris and preparing the site for reconstruction. By the second night, our focus shifted to laying down infrastructure for new houses. We worked on connecting waterlines and sewage systems to four new house lots. The concrete foundations were poured on the third day. I vividly remember working through the third night, helping to erect the walls of the new houses. In just 7-8 days, thanks to the coordinated efforts of our crew and some locals, we managed to rebuild what was lost in the accident. It was an incredible demonstration of what can be achieved in a short time with a well-organized team.
I am going in the tech field and moving outside of California. I would love to work with these people… the work ethic and family values is just difficult to ignore. God Bless these people. This is America.
The camaraderie within the Amish community is an admirable trait that's obviously missing today within the general population. Their cohesive lifestyle is to be admired.
So heart warming to see! This is a lesson in possibilities. People can accomplish so much when we come together and help one another. This is still a lesson not fully embraced, we all benefit when we all do well. My hope for this crazy conflicted world starts there! ❤
Simply incredible! I'm curious how the milking of the Dairy cows was being done during these few days of the build?? Being a long ago Dairy Farmer, my first real job for many yrs.. That was my next thought after praying all the animals were safe... Praises to all involved including the Drone footage that was captured so well and steady! Being a photographer, it's nice to see something like this documented and shared in a clear way! Prayers for all getting back to their own daily lives till the next barn raising, etc!!! Blessings All
The dairy cows were taken care of by neighbors. Thank you for the compliments on my videography and thank you so much for watching. Greatly appreciated.
@@LancoAmishthanks for your comment and confirmation.. I had not doubt they were well taken care of!! Such a caring community! You did a fine job with your drone videography skills!!!
True hard working man power. Working together to get the job done. Good neighbors helping each other. If everybody in this world was like these folks, it would be a better world.
Absolutely love the way Amish live and work there craftsmanship and quality work is amazing we buy our furniture from Amish store and I tell you what you will never have to buy anymore as long as u live they are sturdy and well crafted I would love to find an Amish family that would work with us to allow me to show our kids the way of life without having electricity and game systems for them to learn and have more appreciation for what they have
They must have had a set a plans ready for this rebuild. This much complicated work can't come together without it. As a former builder, the only thing I see lacking is 6 or 8 more Porta Potties for this large crew!! Great work!
This was an awesome video of how the Amish pull together as a community family to help one another! Many people may not understand or want to discriminate the Amish heritage but they're smart people and my wife and I admire them and visit Lancaster quite often. To get this Barn Raising done in a week is mind blowing! In Dover, Delaware where there are Amish and quite a few of them work for building contractors bcuz they get the job done and done right the 1st time! What road is this located on to see it up close the next time we're up there for a get away? Thanks for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA. #AMISHLIFE#1
Just like an orchestra where each instrument has a part to play in making beautiful music. Each one of these men have a part to play in order to get this barn rebuilt.
I can only imagine the emotional impact of the owner. From the barn burning and then the support of the community rebuilding it. God works in mysterious ways!
I Sincerely hope the American public takes a long hard look at this video and can take away something good from this . This folks is the real America . Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸May God bless each and Everyone of the men and Women who helped in this building. And making of the video. We should all take a lesson from this if we really want to make America Great again. This is a way to start.
This is why a group has their own insurance they all pay in so much a month in case of some thing like this .Great drone work and to all the fine folks very well done thank you for sharing
After watching this video is totally awesome the step by step in each video scene that was happening all the people comeing togeather to help a fellow amish farmer this is a true testament to the hard working people comeing togeather for such a daunting task even after a tragedy that happened as if everyone was to come togeather in times like this one helping out people no matter what color religion race ect that would make america great again instead of what's going on in our country and in Washington DC we need this again after next years presidential election to return our country back this kind of work leadership
The Amish are incredible people I wish everyone could treat each other as Amish treat one another this country really could be an amazing place if we could! It's kinda funny how the English stand out like a soar thumb in amongst all the Amish workers
Imagine what could happen if the whole country came together this way . This here is a lesson in human spirit , friendship , community , focus , tenacity and family values . What a wonderful display of pride .
the democrats way of governance does not support the qualities you describe.
@@wayneburnside7819 Wayne , sadly you are correct . They continue to devise ways to divide us into as many groups as they can . It's an age-old strategy . Invented by the Romans , " divide and conquer " . And.....we will continue to live in hope !
Happens every day out here in the country somewhere. Nobody screaming for government help, just stay out of the way.
@@wayneburnside7819 MOST CONSERVATIVES don't even know who their own neighbors are. STFU & GTFO
We’d have a far superior world to live in that’s safe, happy, n healthy Amen! I love ❤️ the Amish n Old Order!
They obviously don’t have to pull permits or wait for inspections. It’s amazing to see things being done the right way and free of red tape and government bureaucracy and regulations.
it's called Corruption 🤣😆😂😅
They may be in an unincorporated township. No governing body is present to require permits.
Good thing OSHA isn't around or allowed
Because this was a rebuild of an existing structure and no changes were made to the footprint, no township planning or approval was required, and most townships give the permit for free or a minimal charge. Had this been an entirely new farm, the owner would have tons of red tape and the process could take a very long time to approve.
Most agricultural buildings are exempt from building permits and except for electrical inspection but amish don't use electricity

@farmerbill6855 they refrain from vanity they are all business
@@logpile1318 you are correct.
I really wouder what started the fire 🔥
@@kimruff7133 most likely an electrical problem. Could be spontaneous combustion in wet hay but it's pretty late in the season for that.
This is what "build back better" is supposed to mean. Humbling to see the the incredible outpouring of support the community provided for this family
This is the exact opposite of build back better. This is what happens when the government is in no way involved.
Build back better would have blue siding..this is definitely Make America Great Again-Red.
@@farmerbill6855well said my friend. Well said
Just amazing! I was watching the "likes" increase in number as the barn was being built, but I think the barn won the day! A great testimony to the hard working men and the women who fed them. I just wish our country could work this way, I know at one time it did.
Still does out here in the country. This sort of thing happens every day.
@@farmerbill6855As a farmer I can absolutely agree. Here in rural America we all try to help each other.
Absolutely incredible! I find it most amazing that all this work gets completed and the remains of the former barn are still smoldering!

There was indeed a time when a work ethic similar to the coming together here was not so very rare as is the case today in these once united States. Always so refreshing to see how a community coming together of it own volition may bring a new start after such a loss, and with no interference of government operatons! Thank You for this Awesome story! -Bob...
Thank you to the community for all the fine work you did.
Thanks for this video that's done so well !!
I've always admired the Amish for their selflessness - The rest of us certainly need to take some lessons !!!
Thanks again for your time - Well done !!!
Where did the milk herd go and who milked them? Tremendous rebuild and I agree there is a lot of lessons for us to learn here!
I wonder if they divided them up amongst their neighbors for the time being? A few to each, or so?
Their is usually an empty barn somewhere in the neighborhood that the cows go the in a time like this ,maybe a retired farmers barn
Much like this great team of people, back in the '80s, I was part of the engineering corps in the military. Our camp, home to about 600-700 soldiers and officers, was suddenly called into action one night. We had to clean up after a severe accident: two semi trucks had collided in the countryside, not far from our camp. One was carrying fish, the other a large petrol tank. The crash had caused a fire that burned down four houses.
That first night, our task was to clean up the scattered fish from the road, working alongside the fire crew who were busy putting out the house fires. Local road assistance companies helped us move and haul away the wreckage of the semi trucks.
The following day, we switched to operating heavy machinery like excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks. We worked in 8-hour shifts, clearing debris and preparing the site for reconstruction.
By the second night, our focus shifted to laying down infrastructure for new houses. We worked on connecting waterlines and sewage systems to four new house lots. The concrete foundations were poured on the third day.
I vividly remember working through the third night, helping to erect the walls of the new houses. In just 7-8 days, thanks to the coordinated efforts of our crew and some locals, we managed to rebuild what was lost in the accident. It was an incredible demonstration of what can be achieved in a short time with a well-organized team.
A very good video, we all should be willing to help people or neighbors in need. I also enjoyed the music. Great video
I am going in the tech field and moving outside of California. I would love to work with these people… the work ethic and family values is just difficult to ignore. God Bless these people. This is America.
An amazing feat..I worked with a lot Amish folk over my career. They have an awesome work ethic. Thanks for the video.
The camaraderie within the Amish community is an admirable trait that's obviously missing today within the general population. Their cohesive lifestyle is to be admired.
The Amish are one people.
Admired, praised, and replicated.
Thats what happens when you raise a community on nothing but the true full bible. No media and no Vatican BS
So heart warming to see! This is a lesson in possibilities. People can accomplish so much when we come together and help one another. This is still a lesson not fully embraced, we all benefit when we all do well. My hope for this crazy conflicted world starts there! ❤
Simply incredible! I'm curious how the milking of the Dairy cows was being done during these few days of the build??
Being a long ago Dairy Farmer, my first real job for many yrs.. That was my next thought after praying all the animals were safe...
Praises to all involved including the Drone footage that was captured so well and steady! Being a photographer, it's nice to see something like this documented and shared in a clear way!
Prayers for all getting back to their own daily lives till the next barn raising, etc!!! Blessings All
The dairy cows were taken care of by neighbors. Thank you for the compliments on my videography and thank you so much for watching. Greatly appreciated.
@@LancoAmishthanks for your comment and confirmation.. I had not doubt they were well taken care of!! Such a caring community! You did a fine job with your drone videography skills!!!
I would think that the cows were driven down the road to another farm and milked and cared for there.
What awesome job. Having lived in an Amish Community wonderful people if you treat them respectfully will be great friends. 😊
True hard working man power. Working together to get the job done. Good neighbors helping each other. If everybody in this world was like these folks, it would be a better world.
What a great video I have a huge amount of respect for the driven attitudes and collaborative efforts of the amish. Great job!
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I appreciate them both greatly.
This is what America USE TO BE, neighbor helping neighbor, sad its not anymore.....Bless this community!
That's so sad.but it's wonderful that you got the help
even though i am not amish i respect them, the all come together as a community in times of need.
Absolutely love the way Amish live and work there craftsmanship and quality work is amazing we buy our furniture from Amish store and I tell you what you will never have to buy anymore as long as u live they are sturdy and well crafted I would love to find an Amish family that would work with us to allow me to show our kids the way of life without having electricity and game systems for them to learn and have more appreciation for what they have
Amazing. Credit to whomever figured out what supplies needed to be ordered!
That was true look at what can happen if you all club together, well done to all
The amish will always have my respect i love how they dont let anything stop them they just do what they gotta do.
They must have had a set a plans ready for this rebuild. This much complicated work can't come together without it. As a former builder, the only thing I see lacking is 6 or 8 more Porta Potties for this large crew!! Great work!
This was an awesome video of how the Amish pull together as a community family to help one another! Many people may not understand or want to discriminate the Amish heritage but they're smart people and my wife and I admire them and visit Lancaster quite often. To get this Barn Raising done in a week is mind blowing! In Dover, Delaware where there are Amish and quite a few of them work for building contractors bcuz they get the job done and done right the 1st time! What road is this located on to see it up close the next time we're up there for a get away? Thanks for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

Just like an orchestra where each instrument has a part to play in making beautiful music. Each one of these men have a part to play in order to get this barn rebuilt.
The work was beautifully done. Just think what we could accomplish if all of us worked together.
I can only imagine the emotional impact of the owner. From the barn burning and then the support of the community rebuilding it. God works in mysterious ways!
It looks like it is even bigger than it was before, love on so many levels n just knowing you have the best insurance no money could buy!
Thank you Drone! ❤
JUST WOW AND YES IMAGINE IF WE ALL WERE LIKE THIS!!!
Awesome ❤ from Western Kentucky
Amazing, These people really need to run the country. Imagine !
I Sincerely hope the American public takes a long hard look at this video and can take away something good from this . This folks is the real America . Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸May God bless each and Everyone of the men and Women who helped in this building. And making of the video. We should all take a lesson from this if we really want to make America Great again. This is a way to start.
its amazing how everyone is wearing hard hats for safety !
Very inspirational to watch. There’s many opportunities every day to reach out and help with those in need. But it’s easier to watch.
I loved this video..and the music was great….. I have so mush respect for the Amish…..such hardworking folks!!!!
This is why a group has their own insurance they all pay in so much a month in case of some thing like this .Great drone work and to all the fine folks very well done thank you for sharing
That's so cool that you got the help,god WINS
I used to live out in this area. I miss this so much. I now live in NJ where people will kick and step on you to just better themselves
Reminds me of the’Barn Raising’ parties we were part of in my much younger days. As they always said,Many hands make quick work.
This is so awsome a community of people helping outstanding congratulations to all😊😂❤😂❤
Were they able to determine what caused the fire? I have never saw a community that worked together like the Amish. They are great men and woman!!!
What a job you guys still it is amazing when you get all together how much you can do I really enjoyed watching it keep up the good work and God bless
6 days, massive effort, great job everyone!!
I wish these builders were in charge of our government.
Amazing what a community of people can accomplish so much so quickly.
After watching this video is totally awesome the step by step in each video scene that was happening all the people comeing togeather to help a fellow amish farmer this is a true testament to the hard working people comeing togeather for such a daunting task even after a tragedy that happened as if everyone was to come togeather in times like this one helping out people no matter what color religion race ect that would make america great again instead of what's going on in our country and in Washington DC we need this again after next years presidential election to return our country back this kind of work leadership
Amazing job and community effort!👍
Amazing and Impressive are Obvious. Consistent and Strong 💪 Efforts got this Job Successfully Completed. 👍🙏
The Amish are incredible people I wish everyone could treat each other as Amish treat one another this country really could be an amazing place if we could! It's kinda funny how the English stand out like a soar thumb in amongst all the Amish workers
Thank You. Words can't express what I just viewed.
Amazing!!!!
