The rich folks of Leadville built massive homes in town, they had to be massive to have room for the servants, because in town was where the wealthy wanted to live, there they were closer to their fancy restaurants, opera houses, and high-class drinking establishments where the rich rubbed elbows and conspicuously displayed their wealth and power. As you can tell by now the pictures do not match the story at all but I wanted to throw this in there nonetheless. If you're interested in history the Wikipedia page on Leadville is very interesting and entertaining, Leadville's history has connections to OK Corral participant Doc Holliday, a Broadway musical, a Jimmy Buffett song, the Titanic, and much more. Give it a look see and it might make you wonder what else went on in Leadville.

There wouldn't be enough room for all my tools.

When putting things away I have learned not to ask, "Where should I put this?" Instead I ask, "Where would I look for this?" It works much better for me.

Thanks for that idea I'm going to give it a try, it's bound to be better than what I do now which is ask myself, where can I put this so I won't lose it? I might as well throw it in the trash because I'll never see it again.
