Help Thierry patch the roof before the rainy season
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Marseille?
🇫🇷 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France982 views
I'm a school janitor living in Marseille. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,600, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going, Thierry. Shared it with a few friends.

stay strong, Thierry. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Embakasi
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
