Roofing help wanted: Leon's home in Hamburg
Leon, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Hamburg.
๐ฉ๐ช Hamburg, Germany519 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Hamburg. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,850, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
