Front door needs sanding and a new coat — flexible on timing

Birmingham, West Midlands · West MidlandsPosted 27 Jul 2026 by Elsie S.Needed 9 August 2026

What's needed

I'm 78 and it's simply beyond me these days. Any help at all, even part of it, would make a real difference. Everything needed is already here, so it's really just the time and a spare pair of hands. Happy to say a proper thank you, and to return the favour when I'm back on my feet. I'm based in Birmingham, West Midlands.

How helping works

  1. 1. Send a message. Say what you could do and when you're free — there's no obligation on either side.
  2. 2. Agree the details. Elsie S. picks who to reply to and you sort out timing between you.
  3. 3. Lend a hand. Once it's sorted, the listing is closed so nobody else offers unnecessarily.

Helping is always free and voluntary. If anything feels wrong, report the listing and our moderators will look into it.
