Nobody has fall protection?  OSHA will *expletive deleted*it themselves.

As a guy that has built a few garages (modern barns) that was a commercial for my framing nailer.

I had the same thought. But ... Amish barn raisings are 100 percent volunteer efforts. There is no employer, so there is no "workplace" and no legal reason for OSHA to even look at it.

Kind of funny to see both the occasional auto and horse carts going by from time to time.

Was thinking that barn is big enough to hold a good-sized tractor.

Oh, wait . . .
