Eighty Amish Men Move A House By Hand

Their religious beliefs preclude the use of cranes and tractors and other equipment.  When a house had to be moved onto a new concrete pad, the only way to move it was by hand.



Wasn't that something?  How about 120 Amish men moving a barn?




Holy yoder, batman!  Maybe the Amish built the pyramids.  You never know.  This took place in rural Dalton, Wisconsin.  An Amish man assembled a couple hundred neighbors to move his pole shed from one area of his farm to another.  As word spread it became a sort of event and quite a few spectators turned out.  This was the first time anything like this had been attempted in this settlement. Once the building was lifted it took maybe five minutes to actually move.

Kudos for the care with which the videos were made and edited.  The old order Amish  don't like to be photographed or videotaped.
