I'm a night-shift nurse living in Negombo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $740, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Gwagwalada

    • I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.

      • Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
