Ladysmith: the building, the weather and the yards
Below the Drakensberg foothills, Ladysmith builds a lot with cement blocks. Ezakheni and Steadville keep growing with new houses, rooms and boundary walls, farms in the Klip River district need sheds, stores and staff housing, and older homes in town are often face brick. Summers are hot with heavy afternoon storms, and winters bring sharp frost, so bricks made on an open slab need cover in both seasons. Water and good sand are worth planning for on rural plots. Block yards and hardware stores in town and the industrial area supply most jobs, small yards in the townships make blocks for neighbours, and machines usually come up the N3.

- Homeowners: interlocking bricks for a garden wall, an outbuilding or a rural family house
