New Roof: The cause!

The female PO stated that the reason the extension went on the front of the house was they were tired of clearing out the huge pile of leaves that gathered there in the autumn. The extension was the cause of the leak (see previous entry about demolishing it).

So I was dreaming of this huge pile of leaves for the compost pile all gathering themselves without any effort.

You can imagine my disappointment when this is what we got:


Yes. That's the entire pile. Everything that gathered on the porch.

That is the reason for the entire roof replacement!
