What lies underfoot in Upington
Upington is a Kalahari town on the Orange River, and heat and dryness shape everything about timber here. Summer days are among the hottest in the country, humidity is very low, and air-conditioning dries rooms further. Boards shrink, finishes crack and gaps open more readily than at the coast, so acclimatising and a flexible finish matter. Many houses are flat-roofed and built on slabs, with farmhouses and guesthouses among the vineyards and date palms along the river. Fine red dust finds its way into everything, which complicates sanding. Distances are long, and fitters often drive hours between Upington, Keimoes and Kakamas, so grouped jobs make sense.
