Two weekends of roof repair for Kavita, a school janitor in San Diego
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in San Diego?
🇺🇸 California, United States146 views
I'm a school janitor living in San Diego. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,500, 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 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.
Thank you so much.

take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
