1:51 PM at Deer Valley airport (North side of Phoenix) Temp 72, Dew
point 23, relative humidity 15%. (Yes, they're talking about a chance
of showers Wednesday, but at the same time, the National Weather
Service has issued a "Red Flag" warning for the Southern half of the
state - meaning a severe risk of wild fires due to low humidity and
moisture levels, and high winds.) Repeat - what is the "moisture"
thing? ;-)

That's also going to depend on the type of glues used. I'm far from
even an experienced amateur, but the stuff I've built has lasted.
Some of the problems can also be laid at the manufacturers who don't
supply much information about their products, but they're also just
responding to the way the customers ignore such documentation anyway.
I've actually seen broken clay or concrete roof tiles glued back
together using a (wood) panel glue (Liquid Nails).

No! Really? ;-)
