The Amish in my area do alot of building. I heard of their cheap prices so I went to them and asked to buy ag steel panels. In a one hr conversation he told me that LINER panels would be just fine at least ten times. I kept insidting that I use a decent ag steel designed for exterior exposure. He did not have a price on regular steel, so he mailed it to me a few days later. It was competative, just not cheaper at all than the local lumber yard.
The buildings they build are not on the same scale as local builders, or even close--but they do have alot of satisfied customers.
Any idea what happens if one gets killed on YOUR property, even if they do not sue you? You may want to speak to your insurance company, they will tell you real fast what can go wrong. Then decide if you would rather gamble with them or go to a gambeling place.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows!
