Cleanup in Ethridge: what shapes the work
Swartzentruber Amish households generally do without grid electricity, and families may prefer that work be done with as little disruption to their routine as possible. We ask about household customs before arriving and work around them.
Other homes around town are older farmhouses and rural properties on wells and septic. Outbuildings, workshops and unfinished floors are common and need their own approach.
Property types in Ethridge
