The workshop sits on the edge of Ngobeni Camp, off a gravel service road that turns muddy after heavy rain. If you are coming from Scottston, take the second turn past the co-op and follow the fence line until you see the corrugated gate. Bakkies can pull in and turn around, but a loaded trailer is easier to reverse in from the top road rather than the narrow lower entrance.
We are on site most weekdays between early morning and late afternoon, though deliveries and site visits mean nobody is always at the bench. A quick call before you drive out saves you a wasted trip, especially on Fridays when the crew is often off-site.
Send job photos, material lists or questions to the editor by email and we will work them into a future post. For anything urgent, phone is faster than email.
Gravel access road, passable in a sedan in dry weather. Low vehicles should take the top entrance.
Space for three vehicles inside the gate, plus open ground along the fence for larger loads.
Call ahead if you are bringing samples or a trailer. We will confirm someone is on site to meet you.
This is the working inbox behind KH Field Notes. Use it for reader questions, tool teardown requests, or photos from a site you are stuck on. If you want a post built around your job, include the town, the trade and what went wrong.
Replies usually land within two working days. Questions that need a site visit or a full costed answer may take longer, and we will tell you when that happens.
Job photos, quote breakdowns and awkward site questions all land in the same inbox. If you are sending a question about a specific job, include the town, the substrate or material, and roughly how old the building is. That saves a round of back-and-forth before anyone can give you a straight answer.

Drop-offs are fine during working hours, but call ahead if you are bringing tools or samples for a teardown.
Phone is best for short questions between site visits. Email suits longer write-ups, photos and material lists.
Messages that arrive after hours are read the next working morning.
Reader questions
Most get a reply within two working days. If a question needs input from a guest electrician, plumber or cabinetmaker, it can take a week before you hear back.
Job photos and guest notes
Send originals rather than compressed WhatsApp copies where you can. We credit contributors by name and trade unless you ask us not to.
