Help Wesley patch the roof before the autumn rains
Wesley, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Auckland.
🇳🇿 Auckland, New Zealand724 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Auckland. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,550, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family, Wesley. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Colorado Springs but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Auckland.
