Parnell...I know in the past a .22 magnum usually did the job in self employed lockers.
The Amish here hire themselves out for most any kind of construction.Moving houses too doing the set up work to lift the house from it's foundation.
I had them do a little gutter installation work on our house at a time when we got over 18" of rain in 3 weeks.Unheard of.
They own compound bows to hunt deer with and I know they use shotguns to hunt during shotgun season.They shed hunt.Make elevated blinds.Own lumberyards.Shingle and construct houses here too.
They are into everything.Their skills are past on through the generations.I have heard of them taking courses through the mail for mechanic work knowledge.Understandable with the changing times.They do not own or drive any vehicles though.Method of transportation is all with a horse.They break horses for people too.The list is endless really.
One thing Robin and me benefit from a lot is their bent and dent discount grocery stores.1/3 the cost of regular grocery stores.Although we tend a good sized garden ourselves yet still.Their gardens are huge and more than one.They have priorities on certain types of seed they use that are large and excellent yielders.
I always have a good time with them whenever we hang around each other.
