I'm a home-care aide living in Cologne. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,000, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

    • Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Marrakesh.
