Homes and weather in George
George lies between the Outeniqua mountains and the Garden Route coast, with leafy suburbs like Heatherlands, Dormehls Drift and Blanco, plus large township areas such as Thembalethu. Homes include older plastered houses, thatch-roof homes, estates, and holiday homes near Wilderness and Herolds Bay. The climate is mild but wet, with rain at any time of year, so mould, damp walls, leaking roofs and blocked gutters are common. Termites and borer are active in timber and decks, and coastal homes face salt rust. Typical jobs include waterproofing, repainting, gutters, deck repairs, roof repairs, fencing and security gates. Local hardware stores and merchants supply a wide range of materials.
Typical building supplies requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: bricks, cement and sand for a new boundary wall, braai area or garage extension
- Townhouses and security estates: small loads of matching bricks and plaster for repairs the body corporate has approved
- Coastal homes: dense blocks, sealed timber and corrosion-resistant fixings for homes facing salt wind
- Township homes and extensions: blocks, cement and roofing sheets bought in stages as a room or extension grows
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
- Farms and smallholdings: bulk sand, stone and poles delivered by truck to sheds, dams and farmhouse extensions
