BJR is an unknown quantity at this point
the gaps are on average 1/4 to 1/2 inch, no more. We shape the rock so that it slopes back ever so slightly. This gives a smaller joint at the face. We also stop the mortar in the joints about 1in from the face. The smaller rocks are placed in later by the labourer in between doing mixes.
