Timber roof of the Church of the Nativity

Since the pre-Crusader times it has been of cedar wood with the rafters exposed. The present ceiling is from the 14th century, and it was restored in 1842.
If pilgrims worshipping in the Church of the Nativity look up at the roof, they will see a battlefield threatening the future of one of Christendom's most holy sites.
Squabbling over crucial roof repairs between the three Christian communities who share custodianship of Jesus's birthplace is endangering the 1,500-year-old basilica.
Large holes in the 500-year-old lead roof have let rainwater flood inside for years. It streams down the walls and threatens to wash away Crusader-era murals and destroy Byzantine mosaics.
A botched repair by the Greeks, in which the roof was given a waterproof lining, has created new problems as condensation now eats into the plaster and rots wooden beams.
The most authoritative survey for decades found that the wood was so badly damaged that a large truss was only being prevented from crashing to the floor by friction.
But while the three communities accept that repairs are needed, mutual suspicion means they cannot agree on how to carry them out.
The impasse means that each year the winter rains destroy more of the church's once magnificent interior.

The Bad

Turns out that the cedar cladding shingles on the sides of the dormer were never flashed properly and were therefore rotted beyond repair. As a result we not only have to buy expensive shingles to replace them but they'll be difficult to make match the rest of the house's shingles (which have been aging for almost 100 years and have had some sort of mystery preservative/treatment applied).
