Also, a lot of amish homes do have wire present, just not connected. Amish are frugal and hen amenities, but they are also business savvy and know about potential resale value. the referenced home has corded machines in the woodshop, so id guess when the heathens arent looking, the breaker behind the wood panel gets turned on On Thu, Apr 20, 2023 at 9:01 PM Bill Prince <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: The community just south of us is 100% off-grid.
