Random I know. I'm not going to shingle this roof by myself. The pitch is too steep for me.

Hi Mike, those old bones aren’t as limber as they used to be
NEVER liked that much slope. Have a friend that recently bought a small house with one about that steep. Wants me to do a little sealing on/around chimney. I went up and looked at it 2 years ago and haven't found my way back up yet.
Not leaking yet but it can't last much longer.
Not sure if they called anyone else in on it. He really needs a new chimney and roof in my opinion.

We have some leaks as well but the house was built in 21' and it still has it's original clay tile roof. The bad thing is that very few want to have anything to do with it.

I never get tired of seeing your house! Imagine that time, WWI was over, car ownership was booming but people still used horses some, most families had hired help. Life was civilized, people cared about how they looked and how they spoke and how they behaved. Houses were designed to provide gracious living with high ceilings, custom built-ins, pocket doors, back stairs, full basement, etc.

Need to find a Florida roofer. Remember seeing lots of clay tile down there. Have never seen one around here. Would be tough to find anyone with experience on them.
I would think the tiles are better with all that pitch. Need to be sure they drain out and don't freeze water under or they are done. Probably cheeper to slate it. (which is not cheap at all) Maybe go metal?
 
I was a painter for many yrs. and did a climbing on roofs. Never was comfortable with it. Now I go up and I’m nervous as hell
