Roofing help wanted: Louise's home in Marseille
The roof at Louise's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇫🇷 Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France107 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Marseille. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, 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 4-6 people who can help over a 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.

Stay strong, Louise. I hope things turn around soon
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Thinking of you, Louise. Your post was clear and honest.
Take care, Louise. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
