Roofing help wanted: Violet's home in Los Angeles
Violet, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Los Angeles.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States209 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Los Angeles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,400, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Keep going, Violet. Looking forward to the next update. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
