Two weekends of roof repair for Leonardo, a retired bus driver in London
The roof at Leonardo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,218 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in London. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,300, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you, Leonardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
Stay strong, Leonardo. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. Love from Limerick
