Everyone is aware that raising a child requires a “village.” But to be completely honest, it would be amazing if that same village could collaborate on other initiatives as well in order to lessen someone’s burden.
Living somewhere where people are willing to help one another out is incredibly great.
Early in the morning, you wake up to the aroma of breakfast cooking, sip your coffee, and eat your filling breakfast. After that, as soon as you step outside, your local friends and neighbors will welcome you.
Since each man in your community has a specific role allocated to him, they all immediately congregate in one place. Everyone has started working before the sun comes up.
About 50 Amish men can be seen working on a barn in the video down below. The fact that the entire process only took them 10 hours is why the aforementioned video became so popular.
The Amish operate in their own manner.
This won’t surprise you if you already know about the Amish way of life, but if not, it’s time to get to know this fascinating group of people.
The Amish people opt to live a simpler lifestyle free from contemporary technology and scientific advances.
The Amish way of life may seem weird to some people because, as we are all aware, contemporary technology attempts to make life easier. But to the Amish, it’s merely a means of brainwashing.
So they decide to labor for whatever they require, and this movie demonstrates how diligent the Amish are in doing so. When you watch the entire movie, you’ll understand how committed they are to their neighborhood.
Barn is raising what?
An edited version of 10 hours of Amish barn-raising is shown in the video. Time-lapse footage from the entire compressed construction film lasts exactly 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
This amazing film was produced by Ohio resident Scott Miller using a total of 1600 photos that were captured from early morning, around 7:00 am, till early evening, around 5:00 pm. Without using large pieces of equipment, the entire barn was built in a single day.
In line with Infobloom:
‘A barn raising is a community activity in which all residents work together to construct a barn or another building, like a house or a church.
It took less than a day for a well-organized barn raising to gather the necessary materials into a recognizable barn, though the construction could need some finishing later. Barn raisings were an essential aspect of life in Colonial America.
This is regarded as a labor of love among the Amish. In an effort to complete the construction in one day, these men volunteer their time and labor.
The women of the town would now assemble and begin to prepare a feast for the diligent laborers.
Can you image how lovely this neighborhood is? After a substantial lunch shared by all, the men return to their project while the women and kids clean up and take a brief break.
The barn raising ends along with the sun’s departure. A challenging but rewarding day’s work.
They will each say farewell and express gratitude for the hard work of the day. After a long day of labor, the project is successful and a stunning new barn is in place.

The barn-raising video demonstrates how diligent the Amish are in their job.
As we can see, each person works independently on their own task. Teamwork is also evident in how quickly everyone works, which facilitates and expedites the barn-raising process.
It’s incredible to learn that they all finished the project in just 10 hours without the aid of any machines considering how big the barn actually is!
