Actually after watching and helping in a few barn jobs with the Amish there are usually one or two that have much skill and a lot of willing labor. Have seen a few barns that were built with questionable design that failed under snow or wind load. They have a tough time building to building standards on their homes. They have a long running dispute with our local codes officer about chimney clearances and doorway designs. They have finally forced them to install 1000 gal concrete tanks for all new outhouses to keep from polluting wells. I am glad I am on top of the hill!
Bite something?grrr

That is so wrong to say to those of us who no longer get vacation. All I have to look forward to today is sloppy snow and freezing rain!8.5 hours till vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!
