I'm a retired bus driver living in San Francisco. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,550, 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 4-6 people who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Greyson. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
sending good thoughts, Greyson. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Good luck, Greyson. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 9 people at work.
