Two weekends of roof repair for Ian, a school janitor in Cardiff
Ian, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Cardiff.
🇬🇧 Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom1,589 views
I'm a school janitor living in Cardiff. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,250, 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 4-6 people 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Stay strong, Ian. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Thinking of you, Ian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
praying for you, Ian. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
sending good thoughts, Ian. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
hope things get better soon, Ian. Hope you get there
praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Praying for you, Ian. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Enugu donated after I showed her your page!
Hope it all works out, Ian. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Ian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
