Help Berk patch the roof before winter
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Kadıköy?
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye578 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Kadıköy. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $850, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Cape Town donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Feira de Santana.
Wishing you the best, Berk. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Blessings.
