    I put roofs on, both slate and standing seam. They would probably be surprised at how much money the really rich people have. But explaining standing seam would be pretty easy.

    We even get our copper from Revere, as in Paul Revere, though he wasn’t born until 1735.

      Peasants and commoners understood exactly how much money the rich have - they have almost all of it. One look at a billionaire’s mansion and they’d confirm that yep, that’s a palace for a sultan or prince alright.

        Yeah, maybe I’m the one who hasn’t gotten over it. Some days it’s the worst part of going to work (the other days it’s usually the weather that’s the worst part)
