Roofing help wanted: Emma's home in Newcastle
The roof at Emma's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇦🇺 New South Wales, Australia481 views
I'm a school janitor living in Newcastle. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,650, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
