Two weekends of roof repair for Padraig, a night-shift nurse in Cork
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Cork?
🇮🇪 Cork, Munster, Ireland723 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Cork. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,450, 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 4-6 people 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
