Roofing help wanted: Tek's home in Kathmandu
Tek, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Kathmandu.
🇳🇵 Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal972 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Kathmandu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $520, 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 anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Bogotá.
