The Nitty

Building and restoring cathedrals: the nitty-gritty:

There might be 200 workers on the site on a given day.

Work was sometimes interrupted when the Bishop ran out
of money.

This was before the metric system: la coudée is the length
of a man's forearm.

There were a lot of cathedrals built on the same plans.
