Roofing help wanted: Genesis's home in Birmingham
Genesis, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Birmingham.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom900 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Birmingham. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,750, 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 4-6 people who can help over a weekend.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this, Genesis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Thinking of you, Genesis. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Birmingham.
thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
