Roofing help wanted: Travis's home in Dallas
Travis, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Dallas.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States626 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Dallas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,000, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. 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 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.
