I'm a retired bus driver living in Ekurhuleni. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,100, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

hang in there, Christo. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Best of luck, Christo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Ekurhuleni.
