Thank you for showing us your work. Just want to comment on the others here. It seems that every single time I watch one of these, there are the know-it-alls who show up, just to tell you what you are doing wrong. This is a common thing in construction, I see. Not sure why so many other "experts" want to correct everyone else. Makes me think it is more of an insecurity thing than anything else. It is ridiculous!
@@leeb.7188 won't help very important to wet stone and surface for mortar to adhere, l even use bonding adhesive,, l see guys pouring dry concrete around post and same thing,, a little moisture makes cement form outer crust and is soft inside

Jealous of those nice flat stones! Up here in the Northeast I have to deal with granite fieldstones which seldom have even ONE flat side!
This guy obviously knows what he’s doing with the stone but I keep reading that his mortar is too dry?
Looks fast but... it's just 'stacking'
That cement mix is way to dry. The stones aren’t bonding at all. Maintenance nightmare.
That's horrible craftsmanship,, mortar so dry it's not going to bond at all,
I was thinking the same thing….but it’s in the South, where it rains a lot….maybe that will help? Probably not.
