Roofing help wanted: Boonmee's home in Chiang Mai
The roof at Boonmee's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇹🇭 Chiang Mai, Thailand1,045 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Chiang Mai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $580, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Take care, Boonmee. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 18 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Manchester.
you're not alone, Boonmee. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
