Roofing help wanted: Otávio's home in Recife
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Recife?
🇧🇷 Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil1,108 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Recife. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,050, 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

you're not alone, Otávio. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
