What happens here

Continue building up the columns by laying additional courses of building blocks or stones, ensuring proper bonding with mortar or structural adhesive. Maintain strict adherence to plumb and levelness for each course. As you approach the final height, ensure that the openings or recesses for the fire feature inserts are accurately sized and positioned according to the fire feature's specifications. These openings must be precisely formed to allow the fire feature to sit flush and securely.

Goal: Finish the main structural build of the columns to their full height.
