One does not just throw a tire onto the damn roof.
Fun fact: people actually do this in real life.

Corrugated metal roofs were not always fastened securely (whether it was due to age or just weak construction), so people would weigh them down with tires to prevent them from rattling or even coming off completely in strong winds. This was also a common practice with older mobile homes because their roofs were built loosely to withstand temperature changes. I'd say they fit right into TF2's architectural style.

when you drew this, did you think about why certain objects are placed in that way? or did you draw it as you please?
It feels little strange to have that granary pipe on the ground.

On top of everything else, you also got the quote wrong! Boromir says "one does not simply", not "one does not just"

This entire page of the art forum is just people arguing about tires and roofs... which I guess could be considered art.

Well, acting is (by definition) an art.

Does 3D art count? I made this a week ago or so. I could have improved on a couple of things but i am real happy with this. It is really big so I put it in spoilers.

It was modeled and rendered with Blender and Blender's Cycles with textures done in Gimp.

I'm not entirely sure what is reflected in the dude's eyes. Is it a car? A USA flag?

The reflection is a HDRI texture of an interior. I perhaps could have made it a bit blurrier since that is what real eyes do, but rendering the scene took about 4 hours and i forgot to make some things compatible for post processing.
