Replacing a roof tile

[porsche4life]

Can you run over and snag me a roof tile? This one is in area that won't be seen. Just need one, doesn't have to match!

They've got a lot of security in the area. Don't want anyone coming in and taking away any building material that could be taking up space in a landfill.

The same exact thing happened at my parent's house (San Diego). I took the broken tile to a roofing supplier and was able to get a match - the tiles one their roof are discontinued so I bought the few remaining that they had for some spares.

Your edge tiles look like my parents - they almost are defying gravity with the way they lean out and are held on w/ just one long nail. On my parents house, it looks like they didn't cut the last roof tiles in each row back far enough, and they overlap over the fascia enough to make the edge tile lean out - I couldn't figure out a good way to fix it, so put it back up w/ gobs of roofing cement and a new nail, and also renailed in all of the surrounding edge tiles as they were starting to come loose also.

Hopefully I bought them a few more years....
