Roofing help wanted: Léo's home in Nice
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Nice?
🇫🇷 Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France1,563 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Nice. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,950, 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 one long weekend.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Léo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Jabalpur
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
Hope you get there. Don't give up. Thinking of Nice.
