Thanks, we're very happy with the porch... Cost about $7500 installed and it was hand built by a local Amishman. Cost me $300 for engineered plans since Hemlock isn't common building code anymore, the pegs are real as well. It's 16x14

The tray truss was about $500 more so I figured it was worth doing "just in case". A lot of guys run scissor trusses but they work better when you have doors on the eave side instead of the gable side like mine.
