Amish move barn Check this one out. They do it more then a lot of folks realize.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

The Church I grew up in was moved with horse and log rolled a 1/4 mile they set the church on long logs then had round logs of the same size that they rolled that over being pulled by horse with block and tackle.
horses don't move very fast but a good team can pull a lot.

Amish decide what they can and can't have on a local community level , the Amish here have skid steers because everything is done in round or large rectangle bales and they just can't lift them.
they have cell phones and debt cards , fork trucks , motor boats and cordless tools , they even have solar chargers on their barns to charge those battery operated power tools.
several of the Amish roofers have big utility trailers with all their tools and ladders on them they pay to have them dropped off at the construction site.
several have solar panels on their houses and LED lights inside much safer and cooler than burning LP to get light.
they know how to have fun they just don't need a tv or a car to have fun

the biggest reasons they don't have electricity is A. they can't measure it they would be trusting a meter with no other way to measure the thing they are using , B. it would be credit using electric until the end of the month when the English man told you what your bill was and expected it paid and they don't do credit , C. it caused a lot of fires and it wasn't a fire that you could just prevent by not having a candle burning it was fires that just happen.

Each Amish community has a bishop who determines what the folks can and cant do. In my hometown in SE Nebraska the bishop is a jackwad and many of the Amish are selling and moving away from him.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.
