Just want to start out by saying I am surprised by the amount this video has taken off. To answer some of the comments and give the back story. First off this isn't a new building. This building was previously used as a tin shop I think it was built around 2015. That family decided to move another part of the country 4 or 5 years ago. This building has been sitting empty ever since. The new owner of the property decided he was going to demolish the building. A neighbor was going to build a new leather harness shop, basically anything involving leather. Yes, I have joked with him about anything to do with leather :) He purchased the building, with the intent to move it. Why waste the building when it's in great shape is what he told me. Also, it was faster to move the building then take it down and rebuild it in the new location, only took 20 minutes to carry it to new location. Think he spent a few by himself making sure the Sonotubes where in the correct spot to set the building down on and adding braces to inside of building to keep the walls from moving while lifting. We are guessing there are roughly 140-150 people lifting the building. Best guess they were lifting between 50 to 75lbs (22 to 35 kgs), hard to tell walking that distance with a building in your arms. At the end of the video, you can count them leaving the building just haven't taken the time to count. Some have asked why not use wheels. Mostly it was because of time. The amount of dirt that would have needed to be moved to get wheels through two ditches, plus the 180 turn at the end with limited space. It had to go down slightly to miss the power lines crossing onto the dirt road. Then the number one reason was you don't need overweight or over width permits if you just carry it🤷♂🤣 Yes, I asked about filming this, they wanted to see it afterwards as well. I have lots of videos with the Amish I should post more, or at least a short of the limo they arrived in. Total cost of moving it was a lot of coffee, a bunch of sheet pizzas, and a volleyball net to play volleyball afterwards. As for the haircuts I have nothing, let's just say the hair looks better with straw hats on. Thanks for watching!
So, the Amish all seem amazed at the technology of the drone. But everyone else watching this video is amazed at their incredible teamwork. Wouldn't it be nice if the whole world worked together like this?
Its not like punching in at an American job. A building will not get off the ground if any of them thought (well I can just look like im lifting). You can tell some are lifting much more than others, but they were all getting tired on the second move, that was long.
When I drove a truck, I used to love delivering to Amish communities. They were always super nice, offered food and coffee, and unloaded my truck by hand faster than most forklifts or cranes.
I used to deliver to an amish business the owner was incredibly friendly. Amish girls worked the front office they were beautiful anytime I had a delivery there I was like yessssss lol
Large parts of our city were flooded years ago. Among the volunteers to gut homes for restoration were teams of Amish. They make EVERYONE else look lazy and disorganized in the way they work. And they were amazing people to work with and talk to. Most grateful for food and water. Cleaned up everything. Just good people.
It's called realizing your differences and working together as a team instead of forcing everyone to be the same by forcing them to be "different/special".
Theyre not always the greatest people A lot of their ways are backwards for sure And a little sinister in some cases And they foul the land they plant on as they generally don't use modern tilling and planting practices
I was driving a van across inland Florida after a hurricane and got a flat tire from the debris on the road, I parked and got out to look at it , I called AAA and was waiting when a truckload of young Amish showed up to help me - the person across the street had called someone - They changed my tire for me, a little miffed at the car jack but quickly figured it out - the driver took me to a tire place to get a new tire - the Amish were from Lancaster, Pa , in the area to help residents rebuild from the hurricane. They were heaven sent for sure!! I was so thankful.
Super cool!! I’m from myerstown pa a very small Amish town about 40 minutes from Lancaster. The Amish are very very kind and give out scrap wood and fresh baked stuff for free all the time. Also have very good deals and prices at all of their stores around here
As a German it was really nice to hear them switch between their German dialect and English. They reminded me the first of May back in the Bavarian village I used to spend all my holidays and weekends, when the "may-tree" (old pagan tradition still in use in parts of Germany) would be set up with only the force of the men of the village. The atmosphere was exactly the same.
@@streetracer2321 oh that's understandable. You were taught standard German. But they speak a German dialect with different grammar and vocabulary. It's basically another language. If your accustomed to Bavarian and Alemannic German, you understand a lot, but if you only know high German, you'll have a hard time with their language.
That’s called discipline. That is the result of the whole community sharing the same morals and values and instilling those morals and values into their children through hard work and discipline. Something most of America lacks. Communal agreement
@@dantekole6742 yeah i was in the United states Marine corps and it was the same. Discipline is discipline and can be taught to anyone who desires it. Your shit stinks like mine.
As an American I think a community this connected is missing most. I hear the word “community” used all the time but THIS is definitely the greatest interpretation of it. I think that the lack of a community leads to bitterness, loneliness, depression, and narcissism; A “it’s all about me” culture.
Thats the point divide and conquer. Get the peasants attatched to their technological devices more than they are attatched to other humans. Get people to idolize celebrities. It’s all mind control
@@marshalclinard1427 You're so obsessed with black people that you just can't help but talk about them in the comment section of a video that has nothing to do with black people.
The guy at the front is like a rowing captain, directing slight course corrections as the rest of the team works together. This is so wonderful to see a whole community working together for the greater good.
Notice that the idea only works when it's voluntary... it's impossible to 'force' people to work together as a community (otherwise some will only pretend to lift, while others are left to carry twice the weight).
It's interesting that the younger Amish people are progressively accepting small bits of technology and modern articles (like the sunglasses, and wanting to see the video afterwards). I don't blame them. You can live humbly and still take advantage of things that will mean getting help faster, or protecting from the sun, etc.
I wish we could all experience such a strong sense of community. Imagine getting up on a Saturday to go move a building with the boys! It looks like so much fun
It's easy to romanticize. It's like the military, you must shed your personal identity to become a collective. Any personal kink is straightened out. That feeling of freedom is intense, but it's escapism. You escape your self, into the collective. You're freed from the burden of responsibility and above all - choice. You don't have to think. Community is the strongest drug there is, perhaps only matched by its opposite - egoism. Choose your poison...
I remember I once had to do a study on the Amish people. At first I thought the Amish people were a group of people that just reject the future even if it makes their lives easier. I was quickly proven wrong. They aren’t rejecting technology but they’re simply happier without it. They have built one of the strongest communities and I think we can all learn from the amish
Kid these day don't socialize with each other they rather go watch porn, watch drama, become self absorb tiktoker, insta thotting, FaceTime their friend over hanging out in person. It desensitize human bonding experience. Amish were partially right to reject worldly crap for the pursuit of building a community with one another. We may be making fun of them but they got the last laugh.
@@jetsh1ftman746 This isn't correct. There are many communities that make it a point to allow the younger ones a chance to experience other lifestyles for themselves before making a decision.
Working in the building trades around Lancaster County PA, you inevitably run into Amish framers/trim guys/cabinet guys. Incredibly talented and industrious. Friendly and easy to work with. With that being said it’s a known thing here that the Amish carpenters are able to bid thousands of dollars lower than other contractors because of their tax exempt status. For example, I’m in a very niche section of the custom home building industry where the low end of homes we do are 1.5 million and 5-10k sq ft. Routinely do 30 million/30k square foot places so really nothing comparatively. But I know on the last house that the Amish farmer won the bid because he was like 30k cheaper than the closest bid. And did great work-but that will start to rub your peers the wrong way for sure and I understand some of the negative sentiment ive seen in the industry here locally
There was a barn that burned down years back at a local farmers market in St Jacobs, Ontario, the Amish had the barn re built for the following Saturday's market. Roughly 5 days, the barn was easily the size of an old time hockey rink, or even bigger, insane.
Aside from the fact that Amish people have been the most sincere and genuine people I’ve ever met in my life…. their haircuts are truly the stuff of legend as seen here in this video 😂
Never seen an entire TH-cam comment section with nothing bad or negative to say about anything.. But you literally can't complain about the Amish. I envy their lifestyle sometimes.
I have had the pleasure of meeting a few Amish and a few Menonites: they are always kind, friendly and respectful. I knew a guy in college named David who was Amish (and identified with the comminity) but he had a passion for astronomy and astrophotgraphy. He actually had a laptop computer, a very nice Celestron 12" Schmitt-Cassagranian telescope and a really expensive CCD imager. I joked with him that I didn't think they used electricity let alone computers, and he replied to me that the Elders surprisingly did not frown on this particular vanity simply because they also enjoyed seeing some of "God's Other Works." I thought that was pretty cool! Anyways, great video!
This is why I love TH-cam. There isn’t many genuine comments anymore but yours feels like it’s from a real place. I love the connection. Keep being you dean. I’m sure your a dope dude
“they also enjoyed seeing some of ‘God’s Other Works’” Well, Psalm 19:1 does say, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
@@daveyjoseph6058 take some potassium iodide or lugols solution once a day for the next week, pray to jesus christ and accept with your wretched heart that He died for your sins, and the demon will leave you. You were joking, I'm not. This shit works!
This is what alot of people are missing in their lives a real sense of community and friendships not to mention a lot less artificial complications replaced with work that really matters in you everyday life a sense of accomplishments energizes the soul
This is the blueprint for how to build a community, figuratively and literally. This kind of community is fractal and spirals out. The Amish are legends.
In the Philippines we call this Bayanihan it means a community coming together to helping eachother. The symbolism for bayanihan is exactly this, a group of men moving a house. I experienced this first hand when a group came to me and offered help when they saw me building a small hut in the land I just acquired. We all had a beer at the end of the day.
As a child i remember being inside the moving house with my bestfriend as the guys from our neighborhood was moving her family's house to another spot. Bayanihan indeed.
they are all so bright, funny and communicative. I remember my grandmother telling me that in their village, when someone got married, everyone built a new house for the newlyweds.
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOESOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE Jesus also sufferd for us because GOD the FATHER needed a sacrifice for all the bad things we do..
The Amish people and their determination is truly an impressive feat on its own. To see them be so cohesive as a group is also a humbling lesson for everyone else in modern society. Work together!
Such a pleasure to watch. I grew up a few miles away from an Amish community. They were always so friendly and I loved talking to them. Thank you for sharing this.
Impressive building move. I have NO idea how this video ended up in suggested content but I'm thoroughly happy it did. Much respect to the Amish and great demonstration of teamwork and human power. Thank you one and all!
@@xand5090 by magic, you mean TH-cam hired person who fills the urls, where suggested content predominantly in the US market, is about Democrat Good, Republican BAD political bias? Imagine if you will that person made a typo, and this was to have been the latest Trump bashing content, where instead we were given this, this awesome video, where the intent was to share yet another late night TV clip of its host carrying the US Democrat left bias water, instead, due to the typo, Yoitube let this non bias, non political, video, get through, one that wasn't totally cherry picked, but by accident found itself right up on the suggested tab. Where Democrats and Republicans alike could see and like it for what it is, a wholesome video uniting both parties, to agree like and share together. TH-cam will surely fire whoever is responsible for this, AI wouldn't make such a mistake in its suggestions.
@@Refract404 nothing whatsoever, if you've been on this platform as long as I have been, it's obvious what is AI curated and what content is pushed on the viewers in hopes of swaying them toward a left centric point of view , an effort to gain believers in their Democrat politics, and more importantly, their votes. Have a nice day.
Back around 2010 I was driving OTR. Delivered several times to Amish communities. They were always very nice. They would assemble quite the crowd to unload the trailer. Men, young men and even some young women all pitched in getting the trailer unloaded. Afterwards they always approached me and would ask lots of questions about my trip. Hungry for news and a description of how my drive out to them had gone. Kinda felt like I had stepped back in time. Like I was a traveler going west being pumped for news about what's going on in the world outside their community. Always pleasant dealing with these folks👍😺
Big difference here is that they live without all or most of what we take for granted. If you're ever in Amish or Mennonite country, and they ask to borrow your phone, bring up the keypad for them and hand it to them. It's a bit strange, but it's because they don't have phones themselves.
I live in Ohio and I always thought it was so cool when you’d drive by and see 100 or more guys building a barn or a house and they’re just climbing all over it. It looks insane
I would love to be a part of a community like that. But I'm what you might call a tolerant Agnostic. I would not willingly submit to being told what to do by a book of words. If it makes practical sense, I go along with it. Working together for the betterment of everyone definitely makes practical sense. However, if others choose a different path, I'm cool with that also. lol
6:44 i keep rewatching this part because i cant believe how fast they all started going again. they were all just chillin for a bit and then within a second the buildings moving
Amish are good folk, I delievered pizza to them and they were always the highest tippers. Now I know its sometimes hard for folks within the community but theyve always had my respect
I love the Amish people. I visit homes county Ohio several times a year. No competition just 1000% team work. No sports heroes or movie star heroes. They have it right. I love the video. Thank you
Plenty of competition among the men. Wrestling matches and shows of strength are common. They just know how to blend competition and teamwork in a healthy way.
@@Trevktaves its called real camaraderie. unity that has now at large been lost in the west sadly. i yearn for a community like this. now im just jaded
God bless the Amish! I was desperate in need to have my roof fixed on my home but the estimate that was given to me from all the roofers in my area was just unbelievable. Beyond my savings two times over. I called an Amish crew that my neighbor had used and I told them what I had and they did it. I can't tell you what a blessing that was. They did an amazing job. It took me five years of saving every bit I could. In todays Society, the cold calculating world we live in, these people are a true blessing and if I had more to give them I gladly would have.
@@dcan911 So you think professional roofers should scalp people because they think they have them over a barrel? The fact is that most tradesmen are lazy and greedy, and most people are as well because they won't learn basic life skills such as changing a tap (faucet) or fixing a door lock so therefore would rather overpay to avoid doing things themselves. Most so called "tradesmen" have a 6 month college course under their belt and maybe 5 years experience if they're lucky because they youtube what they don't know. I actually watched a so called gas engineer search youtube for a video on how to do something, needless to say I told him to fuck off if he didn't have the actual knowledge.
@@dcan911 its not a high skilled job. So no they shouldn't make a good living off a few jobs. If they're good they should work quick and work more jobs. Not price. Ajob higher so they can work less
The Amish....Lovely people, terrible haircuts !! Amazingly industrious people though. They came and renovated my home, rebuilt the roof, built new furniture from local timber, and lifted the house 6 feet to the left. Which is all very wonderful, but I live in Scotland and never asked them to do any of this !!
"That will be $10k in permits for relocation, $5k for environmental fee for disturbing the grass, and $100K fine for not paying past fees. And WE own the house and your land. But we will let you play with it for awhile since we don't want to care for it. We thank you for your life." -Government
It’s amazing they let you film this. Typically they shun outsiders, and here you are participating in something like this. Thank you so much for posting this. Gotta love the Amish
You'd be surprised, I worked with Amish for a barn building company, and they were a lot more modern than you'd think. Some of the younger ones had vapes that they didn't really keep secret. They were all really interested in the radios we had in the vans. They liked pushing every freaking buttons inside the vans to make it do whatever. During lunchbreak they'd have one of the drivers drive all of em to a gas station or something similar
Most Amish folks I've met are friendly to just about everyone and technology has nothing to do with it. I think that standoffishness is just a stereotype. Maybe some of the older folks are not as outgoing with people outside their community but I can sympathize more with them the older I get too.
It depends on the Amish. There are very iolated and wary groups in the midwest. The Pennsylvania Amish are more modernized, they kinda had too. They do so much business with other residents that they are partially integrated by finding loopholes. Like they can't own a cell phone, but their employees can, so they give a phone to an employee but use it during the day. Teen Amish girls are in high demand by Pennsylvania families because they have already raised kids, are hard workers, and trustworthy as nannies and housekeepers. So they work in other homes as well. That one guy has a modern pair of sunglasses.
@@kushking949 I like how there are comments that go 'Amish don’t get all the propaganda and social division we have'. Yeah, sure, but we don't have brother-sister 'rape pamphlets' either...
It’s a bit amazing how easy a heavy lift can be with a few extra bodies. Worked as a HVAC tech and sometimes moving a big roof top AC units by manpower was 100x easier than calling in a crane. Get 6-8 guys out on the job and pick the sucker up and walk it where it needs to be. Not always can a crane reach that far out across a roof without bringing in an incredibly huge expensive crane.
Hats off to you guys, one morning I was driving to work and noticed a huge helicopter in my local Walmart parking lot, they were replacing all the rooftop a/c units with the thing. They had a pilot and spotter in passenger seat with his head out the window guiding the pilot. They were making quick work of those units..
Not to mention there’s always a little bit of risk with the cranes safety is key so I like the idea of the man power over the crane in this scenario you wrote
I lived in California my whole life and never heard of the Amish community until I recently moved here to Indiana a few months ago. I went to a new school and my new friends told me about the Amish and I thought it was funny. My first time seeing Amish people was when I was serving at an old timey restaurant and a ton of them walked in. I’ve never seen anything like them. It was strange seeing all of it like that especially after coming from California but in a way it was super unique. At first I couldn’t help myself but laugh in the kitchen with my coworkers because it was my first time seeing them in my life, but today I highly respect them because I truly know who they are and how hard they work.
When I went to school in California there was an Amish family,their kids rode my bus. The other kids were very mean to them and I felt bad,the other kids bullied me too,Jr. High school. The family would sell chickens in front of the grocery store. Hated going to school there. Also,we had Russian exchange students and the kids were mean to them too.😕
@@iamtitanium3281 My aunt lived in california in the early 2000s. she said the people there were vile. My aunts friend (a polish gal) who didnt speak much english got jumped by a bunch of hispanic girls who pined her down and cut off all of her super long hair. She was devestated. My aunt got bullied terribly as well.
@@drewkey6437 Currently in Elkhart by the border of Michigan. Only plan on staying here for a bit to see if we like it or not. It’s not so bad. It’s much more peaceful and I feel like I can live. California was brutal. In every way.
I grew up in a Amish community in Holmes County Ohio and this is something you don't see very often, glad you were able to get it on video and get the inside view of it
There are many out in Lancaster, PA as well. In Ohio, many worked at a garage door company called Wayne Dalton. I picked up trailers there. Very good video
@@tavish4699 So my grandpa was Amish and my grandma was English, they got together and when he got my grandma pregnant he ended up being shunned from the community for breaking to many rules, he left and was basically never seen again but we stayed in the same community. So I grew up English but went to school with Amish, most of my friends were Amish and it was something I took interest in. Some of my friends could even be my family but I'll never know since we never got to ask my grandma who he was before she passed. She never wanted to talk about him but all we knew was that he was Amish when they met but at soon as he jumped the fence he left the state and had no contact with anyone what so ever.
@@AresMarrow oh wow that is quite tragic sounds like your grandfather felt guilty i noticed that the way amish see things can change from village to village sometimes even from house to house it seems its a very interesting life style and subject to study
@Lobster Boy Yeah and all of the Mexican and Central American contractors I've worked with were always respectful especially of women because their mothers hold a high place in the family. So what are you trying to say? If Aaron is a popular biblical name, so what? The joke is funny and true. You are the one comparing on people group to another. The Amish are NOT better people. Some cultures have better values and cultural norms, but the human heart is as the Bible says "Deceitful and wicked above measure. Who can know it?" Another way of putting it, a lot of well mannered polite people are evil at heart and you can't judge that by group behavior only.
@@MsBaztastic Iv been cat called and stared down by so many hispanic men. This comment is such bull 🤣 puerto rican men are pretty respectful but men from other parts of south america and mexico?? no way.
@@Mink_Tracks LOL, maybe it's the location. You in Texas like me? Then again, maybe you are just too good looking, LOL. It's your own fault they keep losing their minds. J/K
I always thought the amish community was so fascinating. I know someone who converted out of it and her family still supports her. I only been to a community once and they were so nice, they talked to me about what they do
@@maverick2560 While some of their practices might seem extreme to us, they don't meet the main criteria of a cult. Notably, there's no cult leader. In fact, their religious leaders are bishops who are elected to office. And they don't try to recruit new members.
It’s one thing I love about the Amish community is how they work together to build things and help each other out in the community. I do understand its way of life which is very difficult for some people to live. I believe that each culture has something beautiful to show the rest of the world. Would love to see more videos like this. Thank you for posting it
I just think this house moving is totally amazing! I love their teamwork and I love how they work in general. Amish people are truly amazing people to me
I'm a very independent person so I can't imagine being happy living the Amish lifestyle. That being said, I live in Pennsylvania and I've met some Amish folks. They are wonderful people and I admire their sense of dedication to their community. I grew up working ranches and sometimes bailing hay in the Texas panhandle. That's hard work. I recently stopped during a motorcycle ride to watch some Amish boys bailing hay with a horse-drawn bailer. It was powered only by the horses, with long belt drives, like you might see in pictures from the 1910's. I don't think anyone there was over 16 years old but those boys were getting after it. I bet any one of those boys are strong enough to strangle a bobcat. I have a lot of respect for the Amish.
If the offer on the house I just made gets accepted then my neighbors will be Amish. They just recently bought the farm house that would be my neighbor. I’m in the Laurel Highlands btw.
in canada, we have more Mennonites theyre allowed to have cars and some technology, but they still move houses like this, and still use old technology on their fams (except for tractors) ive bought a few items off them, they can build one hell of a chair.
They are the most independent people in the world. Know to build, to plant, to slaught, to cook, to make tools, create animals and everything that life needs.
@@myweb247 He clearly meant “independent” in the individual sense of the word. They’re disconnected from modern society in America but they’re definitely not independent, they’re very community and family oriented. They’re some of the most “dependent” people in American society and by that I mean they’re very reliant on their community. Most Amish people couldn’t live the same lifestyle on their own outside of their communities because the kind of work they do isn’t individualistic; it’s a community effort.
@@_.momjeans_9219 well yeah thats technically right. It goes against their ideologies but does that really mean that all amish people arent amish people anymore that use them?
@@Mehlmaschinex oh ok thanks and I mean technically but it’s there lifestyle so I can’t speak on there behalf I was just curious based off of what I did know it seemed that it would be true
This makes me want to be Amish. Not give a sh** about what my hair looks like, meet ol Sally down behind at the lumber mill for some blueberry muffins and if I'm lucky a kiss on the cheek
Was born and lived in Pennsylvania for 15 years. Always was amazed by the Amish for there wonderful determination to work as one. Amish have been around for a long time and they never cease to amaze me.
I'm a white south African Afrikaner. I'm a boer. Was driving through Pennsylvania on my visit in the US and bumped into 2 amish guys. Overheard them speaking and could actually understand what they were chatting about a bit. I also saw some in fields and they looked as how our forefathers dressed. It felt like I was in a time lapse of my own families past somewhat. Was a very surreal experience. We both share the same blood from European origin. I'm not too sure about their history too much but ours is marred by dust, blood, and conflict. We are die hard in our beliefs, are very patriotic of our heritage and We are farmers, and It was very strange to come across these people that seemed somewhat similar but so far apart.
I went to an Amish village in Missouri once and it was the most wonderful place. Everyone was so kind, invited us in their homes to buy fudge and pies and it was so peaceful and quiet 🥰 and BEAUTIFUL!!
The team work is honestly next level! I feel like we as people find any way possible to separate ourselves and differentiate ourselves from one another, but hearing the way they joke and laugh together is an amazing reminder that no matter how different we are, we are still so similar
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOESOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE Jesus also sufferd for us because GOD the FATHER needed a sacrifice for all the bad things we do..
This is such a cool video on many levels! Their cheery attitudes i didn't hear any one complaining! They basically did this for free! The anount of coordination and determination was incredible and they didnt even break a sweat! A building was repurposed and relocated and all in 20 minutes! The fact they had to get that building over TWO ditches and swing it around and get it under power lines is just incredible! I really appreciated the inside/outside view of how this was done! I was cracking up watching this building cruising down the street with all the feet shuffling under it and seeing these young kids all working together and laughing and joking around inside! This video made my day! It seriously made me feel good inside to watch this!
The Amish put a new roof on my house several years ago. Hard workers, skilled craftsman, and very kind people to be around. A lovely group, though the haircuts could use a bit of updating : )
My dad was wondering about that what is the cost involved with putting a new roof on aside from say materials we have to replace a ceiling joist that is rotting away at the one end from years of leaking
@@joshuaburgos6782 a few times but never felt welcomed. The times I went to visit my mother would close all the curtains in the house so nobody could see me inside the house.
@@thunderstruck184 Awe that's sad, I couldn't even imagine how that must have felt :( Do they even try to keep in touch with you or no? I'm sorry if that's too personal of a question, I've never met any Amish before and am curious. I hope you are doing well 🖤
My mom grew up in Lancaster county. My grandpa used to say that they won't pay for electricity or a phone but they'll come and use yours. It's all for taxes. There's some of the most wealthy people in America and not as good as you think. I can remember hearing their boomboxes as they were driving by in their horse and buggy bumping 80s hip-hop. No lie
Christianity is the foundation of the Amish ethic. With the absence of Christianity comes the absence of what you’re desiring in your comment, ijs 🤷♂️
Please post all of the videos, this was so interesting and very educational to watch! It’s quite sweet and genuine to see how one community of Amish live their lives! Do post all the other videos you made with them, I’m sure many would also be delighted to see how this harmonious little community works and operates! 😊
There's a real wholesome charm to their simpler way of living. You wouldn't see any community pull together so positively like this for anything in the UK.
Remember that this community usually doesn’t have TV, internet, and social media….. which means they don’t get all the propaganda and social division that the rest of us are exposed to.
@@annetoronto5474 Even the politics and the division from that aside, we are atomized, and made to feel nothing around us is ours. so to even concern yourself with your neighbourhood, or neighbours, is deemed wasteful and off.
TheEscarket.......You speak nonsense. Maybe you think like this as you live in a shit hole English city. Go to the Scottish Islands or parts of Wales, and you will see people doing this and they are not even Amish!!
Really?! , imo this is a waste of back spine power and risking people for injuries , if you use a little more the brain you can just build the structure on the correct spot and that’s it. You won’t need to move it.
I'm mainly speaking on the Amish mentality, God first, community second, self last. Everything idle and useless is cut loose and not needed. They have a small carbon footprint, enormous faith and family values, live a subsistence lifestyle, and enjoy a sense of pride through hard labour and diligence!!! All while putting Jesus as Lord! It's so simple. Denie oneself and put others before you!!
@@davekeuroglian "god first" yikes. Ask women how they like the Amish ways :) seems nice here for a moment, until you see the ugly side of how primitive their ideologies are, just like your religion!
I used to feel kinda sorry for the Amish community when I was younger because they never had the modern gadgets that I got to make life easier. Now I’m a lot older,I’m kinda envious of the lifestyle they have (if you know what I mean) A real true sense of community spirit,trust,loyalty and togetherness. That’s a blessing.

Just want to start out by saying I am surprised by the amount this video has taken off.
To answer some of the comments and give the back story. First off this isn't a new building. This building was previously used as a tin shop I think it was built around 2015. That family decided to move another part of the country 4 or 5 years ago. This building has been sitting empty ever since. The new owner of the property decided he was going to demolish the building. A neighbor was going to build a new leather harness shop, basically anything involving leather. Yes, I have joked with him about anything to do with leather :) He purchased the building, with the intent to move it. Why waste the building when it's in great shape is what he told me. Also, it was faster to move the building then take it down and rebuild it in the new location, only took 20 minutes to carry it to new location. Think he spent a few by himself making sure the Sonotubes where in the correct spot to set the building down on and adding braces to inside of building to keep the walls from moving while lifting.
We are guessing there are roughly 140-150 people lifting the building. Best guess they were lifting between 50 to 75lbs (22 to 35 kgs), hard to tell walking that distance with a building in your arms. At the end of the video, you can count them leaving the building just haven't taken the time to count.
Some have asked why not use wheels. Mostly it was because of time. The amount of dirt that would have needed to be moved to get wheels through two ditches, plus the 180 turn at the end with limited space. It had to go down slightly to miss the power lines crossing onto the dirt road. Then the number one reason was you don't need overweight or over width permits if you just carry it🤷♂🤣
Yes, I asked about filming this, they wanted to see it afterwards as well. I have lots of videos with the Amish I should post more, or at least a short of the limo they arrived in.
Total cost of moving it was a lot of coffee, a bunch of sheet pizzas, and a volleyball net to play volleyball afterwards.
As for the haircuts I have nothing, let's just say the hair looks better with straw hats on.
Thanks for watching!
Fascinating how well the Amish work together. This should be how we all are. Working together as one body of Christ!
Great video. Great explanation. Thanks!
What a great edit to add! Very interesting, I wish our communities worked half as well as theirs 🙏 Thank you so much!

Large parts of our city were flooded years ago. Among the volunteers to gut homes for restoration were teams of Amish. They make EVERYONE else look lazy and disorganized in the way they work.

I was driving a van across inland Florida after a hurricane and got a flat tire from the debris on the road, I parked and got out to look at it , I called AAA and was waiting when a truckload of young Amish showed up to help me - the person across the street had called someone - They changed my tire for me, a little miffed at the car jack but quickly figured it out - the driver took me to a tire place to get a new tire - the Amish were from Lancaster, Pa , in the area to help residents rebuild from the hurricane. They were heaven sent for sure!! I was so thankful.
Did you ride in a horse & buggy to the tire shop?
Super cool!! I’m from myerstown pa a very small Amish town about 40 minutes from Lancaster. The Amish are very very kind and give out scrap wood and fresh baked stuff for free all the time. Also have very good deals and prices at all of their stores around here

As a German it was really nice to hear them switch between their German dialect and English.
They reminded me the first of May back in the Bavarian village I used to spend all my holidays and weekends, when the "may-tree" (old pagan tradition still in use in parts of Germany) would be set up with only the force of the men of the village. The atmosphere was exactly the same.

That feeling of freedom is intense, but it's escapism. You escape your self, into the collective. You're freed from the burden of responsibility and above all - choice. You don't have to think.

dont got all the tech to strain the attention span
I remember I once had to do a study on the Amish people. At first I thought the Amish people were a group of people that just reject the future even if it makes their lives easier. I was quickly proven wrong. They aren’t rejecting technology but they’re simply happier without it. They have built one of the strongest communities and I think we can all learn from the amish
Kid these day don't socialize with each other they rather go watch porn, watch drama, become self absorb tiktoker, insta thotting, FaceTime their friend over hanging out in person. It desensitize human bonding experience. Amish were partially right to reject worldly crap for the pursuit of building a community with one another. We may be making fun of them but they got the last laugh.
I agree if it was truly simply rejecting the future this would never have been recorded because cameras wouldnt be allowed
....... It's hard to say they're happier without it..... They don't give it a chance. Ignorant to it yes, happy about it....I doubt it

Working in the building trades around Lancaster County PA, you inevitably run into Amish framers/trim guys/cabinet guys. Incredibly talented and industrious. Friendly and easy to work with.
With that being said it’s a known thing here that the Amish carpenters are able to bid thousands of dollars lower than other contractors because of their tax exempt status.
For example, I’m in a very niche section of the custom home building industry where the low end of homes we do are 1.5 million and 5-10k sq ft. Routinely do 30 million/30k square foot places so really nothing comparatively. But I know on the last house that the Amish farmer won the bid because he was like 30k cheaper than the closest bid.
And did great work-but that will start to rub your peers the wrong way for sure and I understand some of the negative sentiment ive seen in the industry here locally

In rural mid Michigan Amish people re-did my roof and built me a porch. It was the best labor I think we have ever paid for.
I have had the pleasure of meeting a few Amish and a few Menonites: they are always kind, friendly and respectful. I knew a guy in college named David who was Amish (and identified with the comminity) but he had a passion for astronomy and astrophotgraphy. He actually had a laptop computer, a very nice Celestron 12" Schmitt-Cassagranian telescope and a really expensive CCD imager. I joked with him that I didn't think they used electricity let alone computers, and he replied to me that the Elders surprisingly did not frown on this particular vanity simply because they also enjoyed seeing some of "God's Other Works." I thought that was pretty cool!

It’s amazing they let you film this. Typically they shun outsiders, and here you are participating in something like this. Thank you so much for posting this. Gotta love the Amish
You'd be surprised, I worked with Amish for a barn building company, and they were a lot more modern than you'd think. Some of the younger ones had vapes that they didn't really keep secret. They were all really interested in the radios we had in the vans. They liked pushing every freaking buttons inside the vans to make it do whatever. During lunchbreak they'd have one of the drivers drive all of em to a gas station or something similar
They're really not as hostile as a lot of people seem to think. I've also seen some using cell phones
Most Amish folks I've met are friendly to just about everyone and technology has nothing to do with it. I think that standoffishness is just a stereotype. Maybe some of the older folks are not as outgoing with people outside their community but I can sympathize more with them the older I get too.
It depends on the Amish. There are very iolated and wary groups in the midwest. The Pennsylvania Amish are more modernized, they kinda had too.
They do so much business with other residents that they are partially integrated by finding loopholes. Like they can't own a cell phone, but their employees can, so they give a phone to an employee but use it during the day.
Teen Amish girls are in high demand by Pennsylvania families because they have already raised kids, are hard workers, and trustworthy as nannies and housekeepers. So they work in other homes as well.
That one guy has a modern pair of sunglasses.
@@Nylon_riot most Amish stay true to their roots, no cars or electric. Mennonites are modern.

It’s a bit amazing how easy a heavy lift can be with a few extra bodies. Worked as a HVAC tech and sometimes moving a big roof top AC units by manpower was 100x easier than calling in a crane. Get 6-8 guys out on the job and pick the sucker up and walk it where it needs to be. Not always can a crane reach that far out across a roof without bringing in an incredibly huge expensive crane.
Hats off to you guys, one morning I was driving to work and noticed a huge helicopter in my local Walmart parking lot, they were replacing all the rooftop a/c units with the thing. They had a pilot and spotter in passenger seat with his head out the window guiding the pilot. They were making quick work of those units..
Not to mention there’s always a little bit of risk with the cranes safety is key so I like the idea of the man power over the crane in this scenario you wrote
Imagine the crane would be vaccinated and have autism.... Unlike these guys.

I lived in California my whole life and never heard of the Amish community until I recently moved here to Indiana a few months ago. I went to a new school and my new friends told me about the Amish and I thought it was funny. My first time seeing Amish people was when I was serving at an old timey restaurant and a ton of them walked in. I’ve never seen anything like them. It was strange seeing all of it like that especially after coming from California but in a way it was super unique. At first I couldn’t help myself but laugh in the kitchen with my coworkers because it was my first time seeing them in my life, but today I highly respect them because I truly know who they are and how hard they work.
When I went to school in California there was an Amish family,their kids rode my bus. The other kids were very mean to them and I felt bad,the other kids bullied me too,Jr. High school. The family would sell chickens in front of the grocery store. Hated going to school there. Also,we had Russian exchange students and the kids were mean to them too.😕
@@iamtitanium3281 My aunt lived in california in the early 2000s. she said the people there were vile. My aunts friend (a polish gal) who didnt speak much english got jumped by a bunch of hispanic girls who pined her down and cut off all of her super long hair. She was devestated. My aunt got bullied terribly as well.
@@Mink_Tracks That's horrible.There are some good things about California still but you couldn't pay me to live there again.
Where at in Indiana are you I've lived here most of my life, but moved to long Beach for almost 5 years. We have Amish all over Indiana.
@@drewkey6437 Currently in Elkhart by the border of Michigan. Only plan on staying here for a bit to see if we like it or not. It’s not so bad. It’s much more peaceful and I feel like I can live. California was brutal. In every way.
I grew up in a Amish community in Holmes County Ohio and this is something you don't see very often, glad you were able to get it on video and get the inside view of it
There are many out in Lancaster, PA as well. In Ohio, many worked at a garage door company called Wayne Dalton. I picked up trailers there. Very good video
@@LastBruhStanding yea I know the place, I'm not to far from there
hello
im wondering why you left your community
you obviously seem to enjoy "modern " life judging by your name and the fact you are using youtube
@@tavish4699 So my grandpa was Amish and my grandma was English, they got together and when he got my grandma pregnant he ended up being shunned from the community for breaking to many rules, he left and was basically never seen again but we stayed in the same community. So I grew up English but went to school with Amish, most of my friends were Amish and it was something I took interest in. Some of my friends could even be my family but I'll never know since we never got to ask my grandma who he was before she passed. She never wanted to talk about him but all we knew was that he was Amish when they met but at soon as he jumped the fence he left the state and had no contact with anyone what so ever.
@@AresMarrow oh wow
that is quite tragic
sounds like your grandfather felt guilty
i noticed that the way amish see things can change from village to village
sometimes even from house to house it seems
its a very interesting life style and subject to study
When he said “hi Aaron” about 10-15 of them immediately looked back 😂
This is awesome. Wish I could experience it
Lol, like saying "Hi Jose" on a large construction project in Texas!
@Lobster Boy Yeah and all of the Mexican and Central American contractors I've worked with were always respectful especially of women because their mothers hold a high place in the family. So what are you trying to say? If Aaron is a popular biblical name, so what? The joke is funny and true. You are the one comparing on people group to another. The Amish are NOT better people. Some cultures have better values and cultural norms, but the human heart is as the Bible says "Deceitful and wicked above measure. Who can know it?" Another way of putting it, a lot of well mannered polite people are evil at heart and you can't judge that by group behavior only.

I always thought the amish community was so fascinating. I know someone who converted out of it and her family still supports her. I only been to a community once and they were so nice, they talked to me about what they do
Still a cult, though.

You were lucky to have the experience. They’re amazing people.
@@maverick2560 While some of their practices might seem extreme to us, they don't meet the main criteria of a cult. Notably, there's no cult leader. In fact, their religious leaders are bishops who are elected to office. And they don't try to recruit new members.
It’s one thing I love about the Amish community is how they work together to build things and help each other out in the community. I do understand its way of life which is very difficult for some people to live. I believe that each culture has something beautiful to show the rest of the world. Would love to see more videos like this. Thank you for posting it
There's a dark side too the Amish life, many of these folks are truly wonderful people. HOWEVER, IN all sectors There's bad.
Except the American culture which is either nonexistant or just filth.
@@frezznetsyt4787 Every culture has a very dark side and I also understand the dark side of the Amish community.

You are aware this is how EVERYONE survived 150 years ago..... the rest of the United States are just lazy beyond belief
I know right but I'm wondering why they didn't build on site?!
@@nickhill8612 could have gave that building to someone or sold it..
@@kden1271
Yes that's true.
@@nickhill8612 they sell these outside of their own communities and they don't like to leave them.
The craziest part is how well they work together. They are carrying a whole house with just their hands and it seems like for them it's everyday work.
It's basic physics. But they probably think God gave them the strength to do it.
@@elpatron1751 how old are you child? El Stupido

I think it's also a religion and tradition that they don't have their hair stray too far from each other it's a sense of unity in God
The power of men is always incredible when working as one unit.
I'm a very independent person so I can't imagine being happy living the Amish lifestyle. That being said, I live in Pennsylvania and I've met some Amish folks. They are wonderful people and I admire their sense of dedication to their community. I grew up working ranches and sometimes bailing hay in the Texas panhandle. That's hard work. I recently stopped during a motorcycle ride to watch some Amish boys bailing hay with a horse-drawn bailer. It was powered only by the horses, with long belt drives, like you might see in pictures from the 1910's. I don't think anyone there was over 16 years old but those boys were getting after it. I bet any one of those boys are strong enough to strangle a bobcat. I have a lot of respect for the Amish.
If the offer on the house I just made gets accepted then my neighbors will be Amish. They just recently bought the farm house that would be my neighbor. I’m in the Laurel Highlands btw.
in canada, we have more Mennonites theyre allowed to have cars and some technology, but they still move houses like this, and still use old technology on their fams (except for tractors) ive bought a few items off them, they can build one hell of a chair.
They are the most independent people in the world. Know to build, to plant, to slaught, to cook, to make tools, create animals and everything that life needs.
@@myweb247 Obviously, I meant from a community standpoint.
@@myweb247 He clearly meant “independent” in the individual sense of the word.
They’re disconnected from modern society in America but they’re definitely not independent, they’re very community and family oriented.
They’re some of the most “dependent” people in American society and by that I mean they’re very reliant on their community.
Most Amish people couldn’t live the same lifestyle on their own outside of their communities because the kind of work they do isn’t individualistic; it’s a community effort.
I have always wondered how the medieval war machines were moved. Now I know they had a bunch of amish.
They even have the peasant hair cut
I've had many tables and cabinets made by Amish. Some of the finest wood craftsmanship I've seen.

Correct me if I’m wrong but they can’t be true Amish’s if they use up to date phones right?

Was born and lived in Pennsylvania for 15 years. Always was amazed by the Amish for there wonderful determination to work as one. Amish have been around for a long time and they never cease to amaze me.
Still next to PA (NJ) and visit often, the Amish are an amazing kind
True I born in Chihuahua Mexico where is the biggest Amish community in Mexico very nice people wowk hard in agriculture
I'm a white south African Afrikaner. I'm a boer. Was driving through Pennsylvania on my visit in the US and bumped into 2 amish guys. Overheard them speaking and could actually understand what they were chatting about a bit. I also saw some in fields and they looked as how our forefathers dressed. It felt like I was in a time lapse of my own families past somewhat. Was a very surreal experience. We both share the same blood from European origin. I'm not too sure about their history too much but ours is marred by dust, blood, and conflict. We are die hard in our beliefs, are very patriotic of our heritage and We are farmers, and It was very strange to come across these people that seemed somewhat similar but so far apart.
Yes, they work as one in their coverups of sexual abuse

This is so cool to watch! So much coordination and ya’ll make it looks so fun!
This is such a cool video on many levels! Their cheery attitudes i didn't hear any one complaining! They basically did this for free! The anount of coordination and determination was incredible and they didnt even break a sweat! A building was repurposed and relocated and all in 20 minutes! The fact they had to get that building over TWO ditches and swing it around and get it under power lines is just incredible! I really appreciated the inside/outside view of how this was done! I was cracking up watching this building cruising down the street with all the feet shuffling under it and seeing these young kids all working together and laughing and joking around inside! This video made my day! It seriously made me feel good inside to watch this!
This is why Pilgrims were so successful, working together in teamwork.
The Amish put a new roof on my house several years ago. Hard workers, skilled craftsman, and very kind people to be around. A lovely group, though the haircuts could use a bit of updating : )
My dad was wondering about that what is the cost involved with putting a new roof on aside from say materials we have to replace a ceiling joist that is rotting away at the one end from years of leaking

Christianity is the foundation of the Amish ethic. With the absence of Christianity comes the absence of what you’re desiring in your comment, ijs 🤷♂️
They can be peaceful because there are other people looking out for their protection. Without them, they would be easily robbed or enslaved.
no thanks on being an ultraconservative religious fanatic

Please post all of the videos, this was so interesting and very educational to watch! It’s quite sweet and genuine to see how one community of Amish live their lives! Do post all the other videos you made with them, I’m sure many would also be delighted to see how this harmonious little community works and operates! 😊
While I am sure the Amish life isn't perfect, they sure do set an excellent example of how to live.
There's a real wholesome charm to their simpler way of living. You wouldn't see any community pull together so positively like this for anything in the UK.

You can live an Amish lifestyle if you want but it’s hard for one person to do alone, mostly because of the money it costs
I'm mainly speaking on the Amish mentality, God first, community second, self last. Everything idle and useless is cut loose and not needed. They have a small carbon footprint, enormous faith and family values, live a subsistence lifestyle, and enjoy a sense of pride through hard labour and diligence!!! All while putting Jesus as Lord!
