The independent repair shop that does all of my tractor and equipment repair was badly damaged in a fire Friday. Most of the damage was to the roof area. There were about 6 farm tractors inside the building but they got them all out without damage. It was lucky that the fire started during the day while the owner and other mechanics were there.
The local Amish came quickly to the rescue and by the end of the day on Saturday they had the old burnt roof off and the fire damaged trusses removed. Today they had completely replaced the roof with new trusses and new roofing steel. They have replaced the ceiling with new steel [white] and new insulation. When I last saw the place this afternoon it was hard to see that it had been fire damaged.
It was some sight to see the Amish crew tackle that project. There about 30 or 40 of them just climbing all over the building and it seemed as if each all of them were working in concert as everyone knew what he was to do. They actually made the trusses on sight , over a 40 foot span, and they looked like factory built.
Now is the interesting part. The Amish man in charge said that there was no charge for their help. They consider the garage owner as a neighbor and someone they wanted to help. My hat is off to those Amish people.
