Fresh cement bricks can dry out within hours on a summer slab, so local yards make early, cover with plastic and keep the rows wet. The green strip of vineyards from Kakamas to Keimoes needs packsheds, cellars and workers' housing, and Paballelo and the town suburbs add homes, rooms and boundary walls.
