Roofing help wanted: Bolaji's home in Lagos
The roof at Bolaji's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,464 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Lagos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $270, 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 one long 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
