Love this time-lapse video. You can see 10 hours of barn-raising condensed down to about 200 seconds. This took place in LaRue, Ohio, which is the Kenton Amish community.
The photographer’s wife gives the back story:
My husband, Scott Miller, shot this video with a Canon 60d Camera using a Pixel TW-282/E3 Wireless remote timer set at 20 second intervals. He shot 1600 pictures from 7:00am until 5:00pm and compressed the 10 hours into 3 minutes and 30 seconds. He even took the day off work to help.
Not a bad little barn-raisin’ tune to go with the footage. Hat-tip to Fran for the link.

That is the coolest video I have seen in a very long time!
Really interesting
Thank you for sharing this interesting video. It is really nifty how they worked in a row to fasten the roof panels quickly.
Amazing!
And to think that they managed to do all of this in one day, without any “help” from OSHA or the local buiding inspectors … those Amish probably brought the project in early and under budget to boot!
Many hands DO make light work!
The manufacturing plant in which I work cannot work this efficiently! The video was very well done. Thank you for sharing!
That was fun to watch!
Enjoyed warching this video. The Amish people are such hard workers and so good at helping each other out. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful!
Great video — thanks for sharing it with us, Erik.
Amish Barn go up in 200 seconds
Wow, we just built a family room, am thinkin we got the wrong carpenter crew, will have to ask my relatives in Kenton if they helped, nice video… and a nice barn, I got a kick out of how it looked like they were getting that metal on in seconds… ha
Thanks for sharing with us, Erik and want to say I am sorry for your loss and happy for your Dads gain.
Mesmerizing!
What a hoot! I also enjoyed the clouds going by, and loved the guys lining up to climb down the ladder. It makes me want to do a remodel!
BIG barn, too!
Thank you!

I loved watching that video, that’s something I don’t see in my neck of the woods, it will though, when I move to Middlebury Indiana in 2 weeks though.
