Amish Build Off Ozark Missouri just got a little bit bigger!
Amish craftsmanship is legendary and as a culture a strong work-ethic has been instilled in most Amish.  This work ethic can result in some wonderful, sturdy carpentry.  Does it mean ALL Amish workers are this way?  No.  There are fly-by-night Amish carpenters who do shoddy work.  I still think the best way to get work done is word of mouth-recommendation.  If your Aunt Louise had a deck built and she’s satisfied, well grab the contractor!

Amish contractors can be a lot cheaper because they don’t carry the same insurance (workers comp, etc) that non-Amish are required to.  They have a religious exemption and as they have been competing increasingly in the open marketplace, non-Amish workers are crying foul.  What do you think, does this give them an unfair competitive advantage?  If anyone has any experience with this company, let us know!

The Amish began using compressed air power tools after new government regulations required dairy farmers to refrigerate their milk before it was picked up from the farm. To comply with these regulations while avoiding dependence on electrical grids, the Amish decided to use diesel generators to power milk coolers. Soon, it was discovered that the generators could serve double duty, compressing air for pneumatic tools while also cooling milk. Today, Amish families use a myriad of pneumatic tools, from clothes washers to blenders to sewing machines.
