I just finished the platform for my new front porch (30' x 6') and am now trying to figure how to attach the roof of the porch to the roof of my house. I know I need to attach a ledger board where the fascia board is but my concern is how to attach the beams to the roof of my house and how far up do I go? Should I use 2x4's or 2x6's for the beams? I was thinking of attaching a 2x4 long ways across the roof of my house and angle cutting the 2x4 or 2x6's and attaching them to the board across the roof, does that sound right? Picture attachments below (1st house is mine (tan) and the 2nd is what the porch roof should look like when done).
