The Amish worked on our house!


I called a Mennonite (Amish that use tractors) lumber yard and they gave me a couple of names of contractors they work with.  I called "Robert."  He has Amish crews that are willing to do work that NO ONE ELSE wants to do.

We had to wait a few weeks, but they came.  The exterior of our house is complete!  They came a day later than anticipated and they took a couple of days longer than anticipated.  However, I couldn't be more pleased!

I took a daily video log:

Here are some before pictures.


the porch "roof" on the front of the house.

The metal work they did was amazing.

DAY 7

Oops, I forgot to show a different corner....


Notice - Amelia and Scott using shovels like you would dig in dirt, and actually getting up the deck.

Everyone is concentrating so hard- not even talking!



We left some of the front deck to access the front door and to get around if needed.
