Here are pictures of the porch roof going in place the rafters for the porch roof are 4 by 6 and the boys cut a design into the end of each one. It took a bit of time but the effect is definitely worth it.
John looking all happy with his work. Good work John.
Here is a better picture of the porch roof. Tim from Blanco came over to check it out so we snapped a picture of him on the roof too. Hi, there Tim.
Here is what it looks from underneath with the planking. we wanted to do it in planking instead of OSB so that the nails and anchors we use for the roofing material won't come through. 
Here is another view. See how the porch roof changes the look of the building giving it quite a bit more character.
