Roofing help wanted: Jaxon's home in Albany
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Albany?
🇺🇸 Albany, New York, United States1,246 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Albany. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,850, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 15 people at work. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update.
Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Albany
