Roofing help wanted: Pınar's home in Istanbul
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Istanbul?
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye931 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Istanbul. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $870, 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 one long 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.

Thinking of you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Istanbul.
So sorry you're going through this, Pınar. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mombasa
