This spring's heavy rains have again found damaged and displaced tiles on the roof, staining the ceiling of the back bedroom.

After a half day on the roof, and replacing more than 20 old, frost-damaged tiles, we can declare the roof watertight once more. I suppose these traditional springtime repairs are part of life in the mountains, but I look forward to the day we can fix 'guaina' (waterproof felt) under the tiles to make the roof more fail-safe.
