No, they MIGHT want to use the phone 2-3 times a MONTH. The local "district" are not allowed to have "English" take them anywhere, unless it is an emergency, or just too far to take a buggy. They have Rural Water here (for the most part) because wells are pretty much not feasable. They do need things welded, but said parts are generally cleaned up, cut to size, and ready to go. They cannot use "power tools" - other than their own (shop tools run by diesel engines and line shaft) - unless they are working for someone. About 99% of them are more honest then most of the "English" around here. ANYTHING you do for them comes back to you either in the form of cash (more than enough to cover the job), and/or produce and other food goods. They, in turn, are MORE then eager to help me build fence, build a shop, load stuff, etc, etc - without asking for pay - or come to my aid when I need help. Treat them like the neighbors they are, and they will treat you the same way. I can only speak of the ones local - a large community - and the ones in an even larger community 15 miles away (largest Amish community in Missouri).
We've been awakened at 0230 and asked to take a local Amish wife to the midwife - 20 miles away - and we are on "Baby Watch" to make a similar trip in the next week or two. Even if it is 0230 again, we won't mind, and won't charge them for it. We are MORE then happy to help.
All in all...we are GLAD to have them around - they make wonderful neighbors, and everyone can learn a LOT from them.
