Actually, they're 're-roof' clay tiles, which, apparently, are thinner
than original roof tiles (they're only about a half-inch thick or less)..


I realize I 'should' replace the broken clay tiles ... but I was just
wondering, since the cracks are brand new and all the pieces are
there ... is there any solution that involves simply gluing them back
together?


Just wondering if that's a viable alternative for minor roof repairs?


Me thinks the problem was you going up on the roof and
cracking the tiles...

Find someone who is considerably lighter than your 250 pounds
to do future repairs up on your roof...

How about putting a sheet of pywood between the 250 lbs and the roof,
to spread it out. I sure wouldn't walk directly on a tile roof,
unless it belonged to someone else.
