Two weekends of roof repair for Hans, a school janitor in Berlin
Hans, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Berlin.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany802 views
I'm a school janitor living in Berlin. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,100, 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 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.

This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Berlin.
keep going, Hans. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Berlin
So sorry you're going through this, Hans. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from London.
