A SHED to HOUSE conversion that is SWEET and built by the AMISH! Cabin Tiny House Tour 

You ain’t lyin’. I’ve got a rocking chair that’s been in my family for over 100 years. It was reseated back in the 90’s because the seat disintegrated. But I had an Amish lady do it. But it’s still in excellent shape. 6 generations of babies have been rocked to sleep in that chair.

@@mcrchickenluvr You betcha, great furniture and amazing houses!!!

I mean, if we weren’t looking at metal and vinyl prefab siding and flashing stuff I’d agree. Just because it says “built by the Amish” doesn’t automatically mean “Amish quality” or “ONLY build by the Amish”. In this case I’d bet you the cost of the linoleum on that thing’s floor it’s just a factory that employees Amish workers (nothing wrong with that, many English employ Amish and in most Amish sects that is acceptable as long as they aren’t using tools that their order doesn’t allow). But what that usually means is an “English” crew is running the power tools trip the metal and place the rivets in the steel, and the Amish boys are hammering the shingles, the floor, possibly hanging the dry wall, and doing any cabinetry. I guarantee you they aren’t running the HVAC and wiring the electrical. They are fantastic carpenters… but there isn’t a whole bunch of carpentry going on here. People pay a premium when they hear “Amish Built”, but beware, you only need 1 Amish kid throwing a few nails in it for them to be able to say that. Also just… rethink supporting Amish businesses in general. They aren’t the “wholesome salt of the earth” people they have been portrayed as for so long. They live by their own laws and SO MUCH of ALL KINDS of abuse is rampant and goes unreported because of the cult-level power the “preachers” hold over their communities. Someone, still. In 2023, they are allowed to intentionally keep every generation COMPLETELY IGNORANT of their rights- especially the girls and women. Education only to 8th grade and ONLY from the Bible didn’t put you at a huge disadvantage in the 1950s, but in the 2020s it’s criminal. The kids are technically SUPPOSED to be given the opportunity to join the church or not as teenagers- but how much “choice” do you really have when you know absolutely NOTHING about the society and economy around you, or the most basic skills one needs in the modern world just to get a job in something like fast food? And when I say they know nothing about the society around them I mean just the non-Amish is their own countyor state. They don’t even know what the USA is, they haven’t seen maps of the world, no history at all, they don’t know WHAT a “president” is, let alone WHO he is. Their childhood starts and ends with the church and the preachers as the ultimate authorities- they are raised with the fear of god in them about talking to outsiders about anything “behind closed doors”- they don’t know police can help them when they come do a check for suspected abuse- they are all but told the police as the devil. The kids are utterly brainwashed. They don’t even have SS#s, they are pulled from Amish-only schools at 8th grade where they only learn how to read at about a 3rd grade level- the Bible and Farmer’s Almanacs and BASIC arithmetic.. You can’t steal a child’s basic education, give them literally ZERO knowledge about how the world outside your fundamentalist cult works, teach them a deep distrust a fear of the outside world, deprive them of even a high school education, makethem completely dependent on the community and church, pressure and guilt them HARD if they even hint they MIGHT want to leave, then sincerely say “but it’s %100 their choice to join the church or leave to live in the “English world”. If all you knew in 1950 and prior was farming for boys and housekeeping and gardening for girls you wouldn’t be at a disadvantage, not much at least. But these kids have ever used a phone or computer of any kind. Most have never even SEEN a smart phone. They become overwhelmed by the technology and get addicted. They have no concept of money, how to budget, all the bills that come with modern life, modern manners and customs. They get scammed left and right by ever phone scammer. Sorry, the way they are allowed to stunt their kid’s’ educations to keep them subservient- especially the girls- only %10 who leave are girls because at least boys are taught a skill, a trade- carpentry. They can do heavy work somewhere. Not a lot of demand for a washing laundry and milking cows by hand and scrubbing floors on hands and knees and weeding gardens and fixing 3 meals a day-mall the girls are taught. Not to mention the icing on the cake- the DON’T BRUSH THEIR TEETH. The adults, the kids, none of them. They just let them rot until they hurt to much then dad pulls them out with vice grips. This deprivation of medical care and education is NOT BIBLICAL, this is NOT A FREEDOM OF RELIGION THING. It’s a CONTROL thing. Every Amish has typically lost all their teeth and been replaced by crappy dentures by their 30s. And no, that are not forbidden from going to “English” doctors and dentists, they just don’t unless it’s dire. And they obviously go to get dentures, so it’s not like news of basic oral hygiene hasn’t made it into the communities, they just don’t do it. Which is fine for an adult- but pure neglect for a child. And there is a reason we get extractions at a dentist’s office! You can THINK you got the whole tooth, but if it’s already rotten there is a good chance part of a root is broken off deep in there, and it will rot and get infected eventually, and dental infections can go septic quickly. Really it’s criminal with all the information we actually have on how the Amish abuse their power to “govern themselves” , how they abuse and neglect their women and children. It’s criminal that in the 2020s we aren’t requiring AT THE LEAST that Amish Children get a high school education at the same standard as all other children. Why are their lives worth so much less that they can be deprived of an education and forced into HARD child labor at just 13? Why are they worth less than their non-Amish peers when it comes to access to information, a right to decide what they will believe in? And why are they worth so much less that we allow their caregivers to neglect basic health needs like oral hygiene. And finally- why are we as a society ok with them being turned into child laborers at 13, instead of finishing school, robbing them of any realistic choice to choose their OWN LIFE because the state and society have allowed them to be robbed of the basic skills needed to compete with their non-Amish peers and to operate and live in the country and the century they were born in? Not because of religion. There is tradition and there is religion. No reading of any Christian Bible supports their extremist, cultish traditions that deprive their children of the education, autonomy, personal choices and overall freedoms that are the birthright of every single American child. Freedom of religion doesn’t exist if you can’t (a) make a free, INFORMED decision to participate in the religion AND (b) decide at any time to STOP practicing or participating in the religion free from fear and harassment.

I think maybe some of our original settlers built homes that lasted hundreds of years ...

@@juliejanesmith57 Alrighty then Julie...

I live in Lancaster County and Amish take pride in their craftsmanship, so this tiny home is built to last! I wish Chance come to our area of PA. There are so many manufactured home sites here, he'd have a blast!

@@dawnz909 He was in PA but didn't go around the Amish community. He would have lots of fun!!!!❤

@@peggymiller9064 oh for sure! Especially if his family was with him. Cullen would love The Strasburg Railroad!

👍🏼 Schuylkill county. My grandparents got me a rocker for Christmas in 1960, I still have it looking new.

Gosh I love this I want one.

Did the Amish ever build a skyscraper, a suspension bridge or anything of that nature? Furthermore, skilled carpenters can outperform ANYTHING that the Amish can do. Put your fairytale to rest.

Love the idea of stackable W/D! What is the difference only shower? I have some mobility issues?

Is a walk-in tub/shower available?

I was thinking the exact same thing on a stackable washer/dryer unit.

Yes we need closet space. Even mobile homes have Large closet space

What state?

Actually the bathroom is the bathroom/utility room & closet all in one. 🙂

Armoire works for closet.

Think could add door in bedroom to closet area in bathroom. .Maybe wall it off from bathroom to protect from moisture.

As long as that bedroom is, you could probably wall off the end by 4-6 feet and have a walk in closet entry off the bath/utility room.

Your video made me dizzy. 😮

Did you ever hear of "shunning" in the Amish, Mennonite and Dutch communities? Read about it and tell me how you feel then.

I believe that the utility room is actually the closest. I didn't see any other space for clothing.

This one has a very elegant interior

It's nice very nice not a lot of storage space.But really nice did you say 50000

How do I get in touch with him?

Do I have to come to PA?

Check out incredible tiny homes. ITH. much nicer and much cheeper with everything included.

Glad y'all like it!

Lol, sorry Donna, but pegs and dowels and other old school joinery techniques that the Amish used in barns and homes of the 1800s thru early 1900s have all been replaced with modern nail guns and hammers just like every modern carpenter uses so these buildings really are no different than any other tiny home available but folks use the term "Amish built" to attract folks that truly dont understand how the Amish work today. It can be a bit different from Amish community to Amish community cause some are much more strict on what they are allowed to use today but not all of them are confined to horse and buggies like they were 30-40 years ago. Most today can get permission to drive, use modern day tools, and carry cell phones provided it is being used for their daily employment. Life within the Amish communities is much different than what it used to be and so are their methods of construction.

Now the porch was out sight

How can I get in touch with the builders. There are 3 of us that would like to have them build our homes We live in New Jersey. Do they have someone building in our ares Please help

I believe there was a ceiling vent fan between the tub/shower and the mirror over the sink...

Needs a mini split, definitely needs a window in the bathroom.

Dear Chance, You're a Southern fella. Those of us from what I refer to as the industrial Midwest (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, etc.) sit up straight when we hear Amish built. It's synonymous with high quality at reasonable cost. Please tour more of these. The fancier stuff has a market, but there are a lot of single, couples, small families, retirees, etc. that would like and/or need to do more with there money than put in in their housing. Thanks for this video tour. Keep up the good work.😊

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

NYC too! Good point about the bathroom but this is more of a hunting lodge or like a single person home, basically it’s not really meant for guests.

I love all the natural wood!!!!!!

I think most people who viewed this video didn’t catch key info Chance said about this cabin build: 1) It’s a prefab ‘shed’ then modified with the added wood features and cabinets etc.; 2) It’s a rental for hunting, fishing, etc…not to live in; and 3) Only certain features were built by Amish subcontractor. Also, regarding questions about how to contact Chance, answer can be found in the links posted.

And smells Amazing

I am planning to move to the Tennessee/NC area. This is so perfect for me! Where can I check this out? Chance you post such amazing housing options .ay you and your family be blessed!

Thanks for watching!
