We discovered that the roof has some leaks in at least one area of the house. On day one we worked late into the evening removing the clay roof tiles…

Then we cleaned up and reinstalled the tiles, thus the new roof looks a lot like the old:

But it’s what’s underneath that counts. A new layer of plywood and water-repelling roofing paper should enable this refreshed roof to last for many years to come. It was hard work, but a good sense of accomplishment. We only did the two rooms in the center of the photo; we’ll assess the others later.
