Help Silas patch the roof before the rainy season
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in London?
🇨🇦 London, Ontario, Canada1,709 views
I'm a single mother of three living in London. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,300, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Silas. Your post was clear and honest.
stay strong, Silas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of London
