I'm a retired bus driver living in Dar es Salaam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $830, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

Take care, Kiptoo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Phuket.
Stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Take care
Hope it all works out, Kiptoo. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nha Trang.
