  • I think you are an idiot dress like Amish and talk to the camera wtf. Why do you have all these videos trashing the Amish. I lived the Amish life for 18 years and a lot of what you say is stupid they are just trying to live a simple life.

  • You morons: If there ever were a God given inalienable right it would be to build one's home as you see fit. Get off the fluoride....

  • The problem here is the houses they are building. If they were building simple houses using the Ordnung and old technology then maybe they have an argument to be exempt. But look at what they are build....They use vinyl siding, insulation, sheetrock, and anderson windows. These houses were built like any other house and are ready for an "English" to move in except for electricity.

    So if they want a house like this then follow the rules like the rest of us.

  • I have mixed feelings about building codes:

    a. If they are enacted so that upper middle class people can maintain property values for $700K homes by requiring 4 foot fences, manicured lawns, and brown paint, it's wrong.

    b. If they are enacted to protect people's lives (i.e. CA seismic code ), they have a legitimate purpose.

    c. I agree that many municipalities manipulate building codes as a source of income in tough economic times.

  • Thanks to the Yoders for your videos. : )

  • McGuffey reader started in 1836 and you can still buy them new on the internet at Amazon.

  • fuck building codes!!!!!!its ALL about MONEY

  • Nice fake beard. Where did you get it, at the dollar store?

  • McGuffy reader? I didn't know that book was still being used. Wasn't that required reading during the 1800s? Wow!

    Good for you. Keep the record straight.

    Hey, are you allowed to use such technology such as computers?

  • building code suck sometimes... gee wounder why there are lots of 100 year old barns still standing?? overbuilt, built strong, with no plans just common sense..
