Gas fitter needed urgently: Christopher's home isn't safe
A gas fitter is needed to repair dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms at the home of a family of 4.
🇺🇸 Rochester, Minnesota, United States475 views
In June an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,350 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed gas fitter who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $120.
The job should take about six hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're a gas fitter and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Tel Aviv.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Juiz de Fora donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Rochester
Hang in there, Christopher. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hope it all works out, Christopher. Shared this with my family.
