Roofing help wanted: Hoa's home in Hanoi
Hoa, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Hanoi.
🇻🇳 Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam1,380 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Hanoi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $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 three weekday mornings.
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.
