Roofing help wanted: Lin's home in Melbourne

Lin, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Melbourne.

I'm a school janitor living in Melbourne. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,300, 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 two Saturdays. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Take care, Lin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

            Rooting for you, Lin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning
