What's awesome about the Amish is they all stick together and help each other out. So they can make it through all these time consuming wonderful methods. Most average people all seem to have an attitude like stay away from my shit, and don't tell me what to do.

Excellent! Something so simple that can out do all this oil based product right in front of my nose. I own one of those barns and it still looked like solid barn siding even after all those years. We covered it with metal siding now, but the barn was built in the very early 1900's maybe 1901, but not certain. One question, if going for a different color could food coloring be used to die the paint? Thank you for sharing. I plan to get the book when wife gives me permission. Ha Ha Ha

Sam, did you watch the video or just have AI build it? The hydrated lime you are referring to is NOT made of green Persian Limes!😂

I worked for a paint company when I lived in Ohio. We had Amish working there. They are in a world of their own. The company was attempting to develop a new product. It was kinda funny. The other thing was the place was ran by Indians from India I think. The boss had a display in his office with real swords and knives. It was cool 😎.
