Help Yusuf patch the roof before the rainy season
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Johannesburg?
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa793 views
I'm a school janitor living in Johannesburg. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,300, 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 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

wishing you peace, Yusuf. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
