Roofing help wanted: Irene's home in Springfield
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Springfield?
🇺🇸 Springfield, Massachusetts, United States1,355 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Springfield. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room 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 three or four volunteers 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
