Roofing help wanted: Manuel's home in Tarragona
Manuel, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Tarragona.
🇪🇸 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain175 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Tarragona. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,300, 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Paris.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Manuel. Looking forward to the next update. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Manuel. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
