Two weekends of roof repair for Babu, a retired bus driver in Udaipur
Babu, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Udaipur.
🇮🇳 Udaipur, Rajasthan, India875 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Udaipur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $960, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Madrid.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 11 people at work. God bless.
