So sorry for all that you’re going through. Sending you all the best

[@humbohcooper9486]

Glad to know that you have it under control.

OMG, thanks for sharing. My sister's caretaker called that her house is lacking, too. I don't know how we can really watch out for the roofing techniques in Liberia to do a good job. It is such a beautiful modern building.

[@YoungSiej90]

Yes, they're not good at roofing.

[@owensegrove330]

Thanks for sharing

[@flowers2270]

The building is very beautiful with a flat roof.

[@YoungSiej90]

Yes, but we have to do the hip roof due to lack of experience.

[@humbohcooper9486]

Make sure you apply chemical to protect the wood.

[@YoungSiej90]

Thanks for the tips

[@mandyblessing7763]

You need to waterproof the cast area on the roof dear.

[@humbohcooper9486]

Woooo this must be hard if you need an engineer that understands how to build flate I know one from Ghana he an experienced engineer. Sorry about this. I feel you.

[@YoungSiej90]

Yes, we were already doing the HIp room. I didn't really have time to look around. People are living in the place, and I had to get it fixed ASAP.

Can you share his contact information, I’m desperately in need of a qualified roofer.

[@YoungSiej90]

@mayakarnwea3527 do you need the roofer,?

[@lovepeace0910]

The Engineer who did my drawings show me one design and build a different design. I wanted 12 Two bedroom apartments side by side and I got 5. The rooms are so small and the bathroom too. I have to break down walls and extend 4 units because the 5th one is roofed. The engine was not competent. All he saw was money. Smh

[@YoungSiej90]

@lovepeace0910 That's what they do. I will say that about 85% of them do not know what they're doing.

[@mayakarnwea3527]

Sorry for the setback, I am having the same issues with my flat roof. Can you please share your roofers contact information? Thanks in advance.

I'm so sorry dear. 😂

Bro hidden roof ist not recommended for Liberia … it rain more than half a year!!!! And the craftsman in Liberia doesn’t have the technical knowledge for this type of roof yet! Maybe in the near future ..and all the waterproofing material is not even available in Liberia….

[@bratricesherman9045]

So it's means that Liberian doesn't know how to install this kind of design? And they'll tell you that we know how to.

[@YoungSiej90]

@bratricesherman9045 There are people, but they're not that many.
