DAY 3 UPDATE: Rained pretty hard last night, not as bad as the initial storm, but nonetheless had to deal with cleaning up a bunch of water this morning. Thanks to whoever it was that sent the $75, now just need to get to $275 and I’ll have this crap over with, it’s def getting old lol
DAY 2 UPDATE: Rained again last night and was super nervous, but luckily not too hard, still the rainy season though so there could be a deluge coming and any moment.
Thanks again comrades, I look forward to any support that’ll help get me out of this craziness <3
I live on a mountain side in a fifth wheel with a tip out and we frequently have pretty bad rainstorms. Well, yesterday evening we had the worst one since I’ve been there. I wasn’t home, but came home that evening to see the aftermath.
I opened the door and the roof had completely fallen in, well, it’s the thin material that overlays a foam board and plywood, the week before the foam board had fallen in, but I have barely been able to even cover rent and figured it could wait until this summer when I can start a second job.
That side of the tip out has no covering at all thin or otherwise, and the tarp had fallen in with probably 7-8 gallons of water and spilt more all over the floor. I didn’t know what to do, so I just tried shoveling the water out with a bucket, which worked until part of the tarp fell down and flooded all that water into my living room and dining area. Basically I had to push it out with a mop until the floor was only partially wet and then mop the rest up with all of my towels.
Now, I basically have a skylight where, if it rains like that again, and most likely will, will just pour all the rain unhindered into my place and I have no way to pay for it to get fixed anytime soon which is super bad for my living room area.
The neighbor is a carpenter and said he’d do it for $350, materials and labor, but there’s no way I can swing that anytime in the next month, I’m barely covering rent with my pay as it is.
So, if you comrades could help me out I’d be much obliged, I don’t want my place to be a swimming pool again lol
You guys have helped me so much in the past, and I hate to have to ask again, but I honestly have nowhere else to turn, it’s a small town with no place that provides any aid. I appreciate anything that anyone can contribute.
