The head mason always builds the corners, those under him fill in between, and the newbies… well, they keep mixing mortar and now work on completing the backside of the stonework.
Of course the newbies, those who this is there first experience laying stone, will get to lay a couple front and center stones (the head mason will trim them up a bit when the newbie is not around).
I always enjoy watching those newbies in the years to come go back to those stones and point out which ones they laid.
