Creating a Level Top Surface on the Jetty

This video shows how those huge flat stone blocks are being used to cap the top of the jetty and create a level top surface. Some of the heaviest granite blocks are being used for the top of the jetty which generally sustains the worst of the breaking waves during a storm. The excavator uses small stones to raise the base level that flat stone blocks will be placed on. Sometimes, the height isn't right. In this case, the excavator tries twice to position the stone block but it is too low. So the block is removed and more small stone is added to raise the base height. Good video showing the details of how the capping progress is being done

It was a rather winding day and the camera was being blown around a bit.
