Roofing help wanted: Nicolas's home in Metz
The roof at Nicolas's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇫🇷 Grand Est, France700 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Metz. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,650, 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 anyone handy 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Nicolas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 12 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Nicolas. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Rooting for you, Nicolas. Your post was clear and honest
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Sending love, Nicolas. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Metz.
