Talmud for Tahorot 9:6

הַמַּנִּיחַ זֵיתָיו בַּגַּג לְגַרְגְּרָם, אֲפִלּוּ הֵן רוּם אַמָּה, אֵינָן מֻכְשָׁרִים. נְתָנָן בַּבַּיִת שֶׁיִּלְקוּ וְעָתִיד לְהַעֲלוֹתָם לַגַּג, נְתָנָן בַּגַּג שֶׁיִּלְקוּ אוֹ שֶׁיִּפְתְּחֵם, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מֻכְשָׁרִין. נְתָנָן בַּבַּיִת עַד שֶׁיְּשַׁמֵּר אֶת גַּגּוֹ אוֹ עַד שֶׁיּוֹלִיכֵם לְמָקוֹם אַחֵר, אֵינָן מֻכְשָׁרִין:

One who leaves one's olives on the roof for them to dry out into pieces [for eating], even if they are [piled as high as] a cubit tall, they are not primed [for impurity, even if they become moistened]. If one put them in the house for them to wither and he intends to bring them up to the roof, or if one put them on the roof for them to wither or to split them, these are thereby primed [for impurity, if they become moistened]. If one put them in the house until he protects his roof [i.e. improves his roof to create a sufficiently protected area in which to keep his olives] or until he moves them to another place, they are not primed [for impurity].
