What happens here
Carefully begin to place the dark gray coping stones around the perimeter of the fire pit's existing base. The workers in the video are shown positioning and adjusting these pieces. Use a measuring tape to ensure a consistent overhang on all sides of the fire pit; the narrator mentions that these pieces 'will overhang the fire pit.' A level should be employed frequently to verify that each coping stone is perfectly horizontal and aligned with adjacent pieces, creating a uniform and flush top surface for the fire pit. This dry-fitting process allows for any necessary adjustments or cuts to be made before permanent installation.
Goal: Arrange coping stones for proper fit, overhang, and levelness.
