Assessing Progress and Planning Upper Wall Sections

The Ugly Hill gets a makeover
What happens here
Upon arriving at the job site, the project manager inspects the newly constructed sections of the boulder retaining wall. He engages in a detailed discussion with the excavator operator about the placement of future boulders, emphasizing the importance of proper 'joint spaces' between stones. This is crucial not only for the structural stability of the wall but also for allowing areas for future planting. He highlights the need for 'meat' (sufficient material) behind smaller stones in the lower courses to ensure robust support for the upper layers.
Goal: The project manager evaluates the completed lower sections of the retaining wall and discusses design elements with the excavator operator, focusing on aesthetic and structural integrity for subsequent layers.
