Roofing help wanted: Sultana's home in Cox's Bazar
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Cox's Bazar?
🇧🇩 Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Bangladesh819 views
I'm a school janitor living in Cox's Bazar. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $390, 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 4-6 people 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
