I'm a widowed grandmother living in Nottingham. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,000, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
You're not alone, Emma. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Take care.
