I'm a widowed grandmother living in San Jose. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,950, 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 a small crew 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of San Jose.
thanks for sharing this, Deborah. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Lafayette.
