Two weekends of roof repair for Nabil, a night-shift nurse in Riyadh

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Riyadh?

Riyadh
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Riyadh. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,550, 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 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
