Re: tying the porch roof into the main house... I'll add I'd also go with 5/8 CDX ply for the roof sheathing. That added 1/8 goes a long way to resist uplift , and as you know wind in your area is a BIG issue.
As we are building covered porches and decks I realize when I show pictures to friends and possible clients where the details are that make it complicated for people to add their own porch with a roof over their deck / entrance way / addition.
