Two weekends of roof repair for Nanami, a home-care aide in Tokyo
Nanami, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Tokyo.
🇯🇵 Tokyo, Japan603 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Tokyo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,350, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
I hope life is good to you.
