Help Lorena patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Medellín?
🇨🇴 Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia446 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Medellín. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,200, 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 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
