We lived in NE Indiana for a while while I was in Jr High, and that area is heavy Amish population. My dad and I spent one Saturday watching dozens of them build a very large barn. I remember it well. Excellent team work and skill.

Can you imagine being in the middle of that crowd moving the barn...

... and falling down while everyone was in motion?

There is a video out there or maybe a series of pics that show the Amish building the worlds biggest wooden barn by hand tools only in 10 hours. I think it was in Ohio.
