Two weekends of roof repair for Rubén, a retired bus driver in Móstoles

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

Móstoles
I'm a retired bus driver living in Móstoles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,400, 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 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. Glad we found this place.
