Citizens to the rescue...NOT Fema

[Michele My Belle]

At least 20 North Carolina victims of Hurricane Helene are receiving some unexpected help from a Pennsylvania Amish community...
If the county approves Tiny Homes...these Tiny Homes are the way to go...
(Fema ran out of money in October after giving it to 220 million unvetted illegal aliens over the last 4 years under Joe Bribem...)

That guy usually cracks me up.

I believe the Amish made 100 or better tiny houses the officials said were not to code and refused to let the people use them! Maybe this time it will turn out better. The Feds right down to the local officials want these people off their lands! Refusing help, stealing equipment meant for helping the people, who cares if a temp structure isn't to code? I really hope Trump takes a good hard look at this.

 

[SoulSeeker]

The Democrats really thought they could get away with the crap they pulled! From what I see, FEMA is being lit up about WNC! GO Pam Bondi!

Look like shoe boxes. I think my town, neighbors and anyone with common sense can see it"s much to do about nothing.

I'd rather live in a wall tent than one of those things.

 

[Amish Heart]

Every amish community seems to have shed builders. Call them tiny homes if you want, but it's a roof over your head.
The evening before our annual "heritage day" celebration, we have a locals only cook out and then we play what I call, street games. We sit in the bleachers that were readied anyway for the parade the next morning, and one guy announces "a game" Usually there's about 200 of us there. One year, tractors pulled in 3 large piles of building supplies and plans. Three teams of 4 amish guys were set up at each pile and the first team to complete an entire shed one. The winner finished in about 45 minutes. The sheds were auctioned off afterwards and the money went to the amish medical fund. These guys were amazing to watch.

Their Barns last 100 years.

Dang, Mountain Trapper - - what's the R-value of a wall tent?

Our barn was built amish in 1908, still standing amazingly

Not much, but the wood stove keeps it toasty. Before we built our house I bought one of those sheds, that are built everywhere now days, and lived in it for a short time. It was spring time and I just about froze to death.

Any quality builder can build barns to last a hundred years or more. They are all over around here.

It's Amish construction....not Lowes. Then the insides are completely finished out. They used $300k of their own money to get started.

The shed I bought was NOT a Lowes shed. It was quality construction 12×16 and I finished the inside. Its the wifes garden shed now. Are you saying one of those tiny shacks cost $300,000? We gotta be talking about something else.
Fyi: the Amish don't have a monopoly on quality construction.

They'd need a small woodburner in them for sure

No, they don't have a monopoly on quality. The $300K was for a alot of sheds, not just one. They used money that people in the community chipped in for to pay for them.

 

[SLADE]

Will the Amish build bigger sheds for the millionaires displaced by the fires in caliphony i a ?

 

[montanabill]

2X4 walls, 3 1/2 fiberglass insulation and a 1500 watt heater turned on low keeps them habitable.. Temps consistently below freezing at night and maybe in the 30's during the day.. Tiny but with a loft and room for a playstaion and big screen....what more could a lazy teenager want. I have a couple of nice little wood stoves but for now I trust a electric heater with the current occupants. Cheap to build and much nicer than a mouldy leaky old motorhome.

This was in response to my (Michele My Belle's) post on 1/13/25 showing the Amish building tiny homes COMPLETE, starting out with their own funding of $300,000.
Which you FURTHER misconstrued as their dumping all of it in one place "tiny shacks" - - they are not stopping until the money runs out.

Can you BE MORE NEGATIVE?!?!
READ, READ, READ what I posted and what was written.

He's deliberately mis-understanding or being obtuse. He prefers a "wall tent".

Interesting how much vitrol seems to be cropping up in forums and facebook lately...Lots of misunderstrandings and acusations and he said she said type of dialouge. I just mean this comment as a general statement and not a attack on anyone...
Is it just the dark depressing time of year or the tension a lot of people are feeling with the state of their nation and the world?
I also have been noticing a uptick in arrogant drivers on the road lately.

There's also a huge lack of ACCOUNTABILITY, for pretty much everything. Words mean something.
If everyone would choose their words more carefully... I'm sure the world would be less "depressing".

On the flip side....we have a bright chance at a bright future beginning January 20th.
The vibe I have been getting is everyone is feeling an upswing....even the stock market jumped up a Thousand points
the DAY AFTER the election. This was great news. Everyone is patiently and happily awaiting even more great news as it unfolds.

I sure hope you are right....I think the real trouble is going to start jan 21st. My observations and events happening and things unfolding as well as a wide range of different folks with on the ground intel...... Does not bode well

Trump should sentence those scum to live in FEMA trailers in a FEMA camp until he leaves office.
Speaking of which, Where is our bro Frodo? I can't reach him by phone!

Have a way out of the major cities.....
I love wide open montana where we are and I also love the sound of my freeze dryer humming away. Right now we are doing the basis for vegi supplements instead of buying the expensive capsules.

We all are our own first responders.....

Thanks for the Fox link about Fema kicking out Helene victims.
