Help Raymond patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Birmingham?
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom73 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Birmingham. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,950, 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 a small crew who can help over one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
