Maybe the problem is government drivers licenses and government building codes.
Bingo.
You’ve hit the nail on the head here, Beelzebubba.
The Amish have a long record of fine craftsmanship...craftsmanship that far exceeds what is typically available today. I bet THEIR walls don’t rattle when you walk down the hallways.
And if a non-Amish is considering a purchase, it should be HIS responsibility to see to it that the house meets whatever standards he deems appropriate. If it doesn’t, he of course should not buy it.
