Patrick, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Newcastle.
🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia1,138 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Newcastle. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,950, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.

Take care. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
You're not alone, Patrick. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
