Help Lasanthi patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Colombo?
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka228 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Colombo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $470, 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 4-6 people 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 hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace, Lasanthi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Colombo
