Roofing help wanted: Gaurav's home in Leeds

The roof at Gaurav's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Leeds
I'm a retired bus driver living in Leeds. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, 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 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Wishing you the best. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
