Roofing help wanted: Erlangga's home in Semarang
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Semarang?
🇮🇩 Central Java, Indonesia156 views
I'm a school janitor living in Semarang. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $880, 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 anyone handy 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.
Thank you so much.

Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 30 people at work. All the best.
