Homes and weather in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, is a motor-industry town at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with older central suburbs, newer estates and large townships such as KwaNobuhle. Many homes are single-storey plastered or face-brick houses with tiled or corrugated roofs. The climate is dry and warm with sudden cold fronts, strong winds and occasional heavy rain that finds old flashings and gutters. Dusty conditions and sun wear paint quickly. Typical jobs include roof repairs, repainting, ceilings, plumbing, paving, fencing and security gates. Heritage buildings in the central area need careful repair. Farms along the Sundays River and Addo need outbuilding and fence work. Local merchants supply building 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
- 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
- Townhouses and security estates: small loads of matching bricks and plaster for repairs the body corporate has approved
- Farms and smallholdings: bulk sand, stone and poles delivered by truck to sheds, dams and farmhouse extensions
- Shops, offices and rentals: scheduled loads of blocks, boards and roofing for shop fronts and small factory units
