If you want to come down here and built me a new barn, I'll consider
your bid. I don't have room in my old storage barn, and the plastic
works very well.

What boat have you that compares in size and value to my little Parker,
and where do you store it so it is protected from Old Man Winter? On the
trailer, the rig is about 26' long and 9' wide.

Sure, we could get Loogie to tie up the rebar, we can show him how
it's done


What I need is a nice new 30-40' deep barn, with a double, 12' high rollup
overhead door. I can't store anything of value in my old barn, because it
is structurally unsound. I had some boards replaced on it, just so it
wouldn't be as unsightly, but the reality is that it is either going to
fall in on itself someday soon or I will have to pay to have it demolished
and hauled. All it is is an old tobacco barn, loosely built. These days,
it mostly provides shelter for my old tractor, some tools and a
significant number of critters wintering out of the wind and cold.

I've got a couple of union buddies who have volunteered the labor to dig
and pour the footers and slab and build up a foundation wall of fancy
block three or four courses up off the footers. I'm really thinking I want
the Amish guys around here to do the rest of the job. Next time I head
over to their market, I might lasso one of the elders and talk to him
about it for a spring project. The Amish around here are top-notch barn
builders.

Which union do the Amish belong to?

I don't know, but I will tell you this - top notch work.

I have personal experience with Mennonites - it's pretty amazing how
much a crew can accomplish in a short period of time.

Are you not paying attention? They do great work and move right along,
they are certainly not unionized. Besides, Harry does not hold himself
to the same standards as he would force on everyone else, that is how
elite limosine liberals do, just the way they are...

They're not, but they are community-oriented. There's no way around here
that a regular union contractor and carpentry crew are going to mess
with a homeowner's barn. They've been out of the stick-built residential
business for years.

I could find and hire a bunch of union guys who are between jobs or
retirees, I suppose, but the Amish around here specialize in barns,
sheds, decks and suchlike, and they are the ones to call.

None of my union associates are even slightly offended by the hiring of
the Amish for this sort of work.

That's good. We'd hate to see picket lines around your place - bad
for the neighborhood and all that.

The only pickets I've ever seen around here were in front of a Wal-Mart
a year or so ago, when just about everyone was protesting its plans to
build a stuporWal-Mart or whatever they call it on the site. So many
signatures were gathered that the county commissioners knew for sure
they'd be tossed out on their butts if they let the store have its way
with our county.

Every group has its upside and downside, but I do admire the Amish sense
of community. The crews around here typically work for themselves, their
family, and their collective community. They've formed a kibbutzim! I'll
have to kid one of the elders I've grown to know over the years at the
produce market. I'm sure he'll get a laugh out of it.

While you are it tell them how you feel about their beleifs and
traditions. Funny how you can justify anything you want no matter how
much it seems to go against your stated posisitions. Again, must be a
liberal thing.. You know, scream about Global taxing and fly private
jets or use the higest carbon footprint solution for your un-necessary
gas guzzling toys. Scream about media bias while in direct
colaboration with all the main outlets. Or deliberately attend and
disrespect a Christmas parade, just to hurt folks feelings, then hire
the most religeous folks you can find, because they have a moral core
and good work ethic. Collect a pension from a bunch of folks you
milked for years already and then hire non-union help around the
house. I bet there are plenty of union carpenters that would build you
a shed, you are just full of ****. You are indeed the top of the
barrel when it comes to liberal justification and self indulgence. Go
ahead, tell one of the elders how you really feel

A. I have no feelings one way or the other about Amish religious
beliefs. Whatever they are, they keep those beliefs to themselves, and
do no go door to door looking for recruits, nor do they try to insist
that those outside their community adopt their ways. Therefore, your
comments about how you think I "really" feel about the Amish are naive
and ignorant. No surprise there.

B. Tying a guy up on a crucifix and parading him through the streets as
an ersatz Jesus is something I find repugnant. Period.

C. I'm not retired, and I'm not collecting a pension from anyone.

D. The union construction workers around here do not work single-family
residential. I was able to find some to work on my house when it was
being built, and I do have a union contractor plumber and union
electrician who I hire from time to time.

You must be a member of the Circle of Reggie and Herring Jerks, because
they also specialize in misreading and misinterpreting.

Have a nice day.

Yes, good people.

Do they use modern tools and equipment with their construction?
