My boss once had a house built by the Amish.

Father and sons.

Guy would NOT quote a price, only worked by the hour.

Pay as you go.

My boss said he got a fair deal when all was said and done.

Since they used NO power tools, they didn't have to wait until
the electric company spotted a pole and pulled in power like my
dad did when he had a house built.

Was getting lumber a few years ago and a semitruck brought them a load of
hard maple from someplace up in Canada. My Amish friend paid the driver
with cash, a huge stack of100 dollar bills. Driver counted it and wrote
out a recipt and headed out (for a bank I'm guessing). My Amish friend
commented after he left, "I don't think he thought I was honest, he counted
all the money." I got a chuckle out of that. Usually when I pay him, he
just tucks the money in his center desk drawer - without counting, unless I
insist.
