They build some damn fine portable buildings. The guy I use does it all himself, even 12 x 32. Better than anything available elsewhere, and cheaper.

You do realize that they can have buggy accidents?

quote:

The five children and their mother were returning home from church on Wednesday afternoon when their buggy flipped while they were trying to cross a low-water bridge spanning a branch of a waterway that feeds into the Licking River, Michael Gray, the deputy coroner, said on Thursday.

5 children were killed in accident in May 2020


There are also wrecks between buggy’s & cars

quote:

A 10-month-old girl who was critically injured when the horse-drawn Amish buggy she was riding in was struck by a car this week has died from her injuries, state police said.

I cant believe they are actually allowed on the roads in the hilly areas of Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania

Like 55mph roads with blind corners everywhere and then you let those things go 5 mph

You'd better not be toying with my emotions and this had better be a real thing I can attend.

If they are going 5mph it is one helluva hill. Those horses can trot all day at 15-20mph. In areas with high concentrations of Amish, like Lancaster PA, there are buggy lanes on the higher-speed highways. On the lower speed roads with no buggy lanes, they tend to get over when they can and let you pass if there are no long straights to pass. The Amish are kinda like cyclists, they know what they are doing as long as you don't do anything stupid chances are you won't be held up more than a few seconds and can be on your way.
