Roofing help wanted: Mariana's home in La Plata
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in La Plata?
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Argentina1,404 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in La Plata. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $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 three or four volunteers 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
