Roofing help wanted: Inés's home in Mobile
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Mobile?
🇺🇸 Mobile, Alabama, United States486 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Mobile. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,250, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Bogor.
Stay strong, Inés. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in San Antonio this morning.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Makati
Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Inés. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Dehiwala.
