Ok.. IÂ’m lucky (work long and hard enough) to have a place to go in So. In. I needed work done that I just couldnÂ’t do, being a one man band and all, soÂ’s I call up a couple local legit contractors. Only one calls me back.
He is an Amish guy that quoted 4g for the work. 80 ft lean-to header attached to a truss barn. the 3 2x10 thick headers had rotted out and needed replaced. Also re-metal roof a 10x16 shed w/ a 8x10 attached stall.
I show up unexpectedly and his crew (2) is fishing in my pond. I donÂ’t mind, we get talking he asks if he can bring his granddaughters over to fish. I say sure I would like that. The whole grandpa, granddaughter thing.
After all said and done, he charged me 3300 for the work. Which is a deal IMO. An existing header 4 1/2” thick 80’ feet long and the little barn.
My question is especially to those who live in southern In. Did I make a mistake being a nice guy. Some in the southern parts donÂ’t a favorable opinion of Amish. I will make it clear that fishing is ok hunting is mine.. all mine. Long I know but.
