Bansa Brick Fild Company

It’s hot work here in Bansa Sharif. We spend most of our days out in the sun at Bansa Brick Fild Company. My father started this a long time ago. We just make bricks. Sometimes the clay is good, sometimes it's a bit harder to work with. We have a lot of workers who live nearby. People come with their tractors to load up. It’s dusty. My clothes are always red by the end of the day. We don't have a big office or anything, just a small room where we keep the books. The weather matters a lot to us. If it rains, the work stops. That's just how it is with bricks. You can't fight the clouds. Most folks around here know where we are. We don't do much advertising because the chimney is tall enough for everyone to see. It’s a simple life. We wake up early when the air is still a bit cool. We check the fire in the kiln. It has to stay at the right heat for the bricks to turn out okay. Sometimes they crack, but most of them come out solid. We sell to neighbors building houses and some bigger projects too. It’s just honest work with dirt and fire. We’ve been at this for years and probably will be for many more.
