For the same reason anyone else might take a door off their house. It might need planed or sanded, or otherwise repaired. Or they might be trying to air out the house in springtime.
Or it might need to be painted. Although the Amish do not, as a rule, paint their homes, some of them will paint one door blue to indicate the presence of a marriageable daughter.
Paint is not just ornamental but protective as well. In order to be good stewards of God's gifts, many Amish sheathe their homes in brick. Old barns may be deteriorating, and instead of replacing the wood, sometimes one wall may be covered with aluminum or vinyl siding, typically in white. Because it's not intended to be ornamental, only one side, or possibly two, will be protected like that, often on the side which faces the prevailing winds.

Do the Amish mingle with other people?
No. They do not conform to the rest of society. Partly it depends on what type of Amish people we are referring to. The usual group meant when referring to Amish are the Old Order Amish who do practice separation. There are a number of other types of Amish people who are less separate and take more part in society, although taking care not to compromise their beliefs at the same time.

Why do Amish kids get out of school earlier?
Amish kids get out of school earlier then Naugatuck people is because Amish people have gardens they have to take care of and Naugatuck does not. Amish people also get out earlier is because people plant gardens and the extra good people get to help and people who are bad in school get sold Another answer: All states have an age when children may leave school. That is the age when Amish children drop out of school. In this state it is 16. Frequently Amish children do not start school in First Grade until they are 7. The Amish value work done with ones hands more than work done with a pencil and a piece of paper. They learn carpentry and other useful manual skills. Today when a college diploma means that a person is unemployed and one hundred thousand dollars in debt. His Amish neighbor is adding to his house.
What is the phobia of Amish people called?
It is called Trineophobia. It is the irrational fear of Amish people. This of course begs the question: Are you really afraid of Amish people or is it something else? There have been cases where people have left the Amish lifestyle and beliefs altogether. Some people discovered in their own that they cannot live their lives under such conditions. I have an article link below about a woman who turned away from being Amish. She openly talks about what it was like and where she truly found genuine spiritual truths in her life. Here is the link below. ↓ Replace (dot) with a period and that will take to the exact website. wol.jw(dot)org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1967086?q=Amish&p=doc

Are there any Amish Societies in Arizona?
Yes, there is an Amish community in Phoenix. They mostly live in a couple of little pockets of the area known as "Sunnyslope" and are for the most part just snowbirds, here for the winter just like so many other people. I do not think there are any old order Amish but they are Amish none the less. They wear the traditional clothing and do not own cars, and you will see them riding bicycles or walking. They take cabs if they need to go far. Their housing is provided by Mennonites who own a small trailer park in Sunnyslope and a street of houses, they are equipped with cooling heating and lighting but the Amish are just renting these homes for the winter and it is acceptable to them to use the amenities. Some of them are here for health reasons as well. Unfortunately there is no true Amish society in Arizona, the group that lives here does not farm or really truly follow the Amish ways. Some are very wealthy. They just find ways to operate there business that seem to edge around their rules.
How often do Amish people go to church?
They receive communion twice every year, and it always takes place in spring and fall. Amish will receive a piece of homemade bread, genuflect, then eat it. Then they drink from a chalice of wine. It is a very special ceremony, and afterward, men and women are separated to wash each others feet as a sign of humbleness, humility, obedience to God, and respect.
Ten people can paint 60 houses in 120 days so five people can paint 30 houses in how many days?
The answer is 120. If 10 people can paint 60 houses in 120 days, that means 5 people can paint 60 houses in 240 days (inverse proportion). Therefore, if 5 people were to paint 30 houses it would take 120 days.
If 10 people can paint 60 houses 120 days how many days will it take 5 people to paint 30 houses?
This was a previous incorrect answer*DIVIDE BY 2! everything is in half. half the people half the houses then it stands to reason HALF THE DAYS!!!!! the answer is 60*.....Actually the correct answer is 120 days. You must analyze the relationship of people per house (10 people build 60 houses=6 houses per person over time span). To prove this just imagine if the question asked how long 1 person would take to build 6 houses. You would not simply divide by 10 to get 12 days.
