Help Fitria patch the roof before the rainy season

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Jakarta Selatan?

Jakarta Selatan
I'm a retired bus driver living in Jakarta Selatan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $380, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over a weekend. Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

          Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Moscow this morning.

              Keep going, Fitria. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
