Two weekends of roof repair for Craig, a retired bus driver in Albany
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Albany?
🇺🇸 New York, United States797 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Albany. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,700, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

thinking of you and your family, Craig. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 10 people at work.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Albany.
hang in there, Craig. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Onitsha.
Thanks for sharing this, Craig. I hope things turn around soon!
Sending good thoughts, Craig. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
