My father-in-law is a builder. He is insanely gifted. We were in a cathedral together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer…
“We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”
“We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”
The dome was built between 1420 and 1436 to a plan by Filippo Brunelleschi, and is still the largest masonry vault in the world. The dome has an external diameter of 54.8 meters. Here is the view from inside.
The responses to this 🤦🏼

Angry modernist: You and your father-in-law are morons, we could do it in a few years if we wanted. We are better than everyone who came… https://t.co/NqOcrGquEJtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
