Help Ketki patch the roof before the rainy season

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

Lucknow
I'm a retired bus driver living in Lucknow. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $590, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Sending love, Ketki. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care

      Thanks for sharing this, Ketki. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 14 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                Thanks for sharing this, Ketki. Shared this with my family. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
