Thanks for the kind words. We really like how it came out too.

All the wood is rough sawn. The posts are 6x6's. The horizontal beams are 6x12's and the rafters are 4x8's and the tails of those are cut to match the ones on the front porch. It is sheathed in 1x6 tongue & groove and that is covered in 4x8 OSB, a hot melt paper roof below lightweight concrete tile to match the house(which it ALMOST does!).
