Roofing help wanted: Danylo's home in Novosibirsk
The roof at Danylo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇷🇺 Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia331 views
I'm a school janitor living in Novosibirsk. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $980, 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 work boots and a hat. 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
