Yes I am looking for a good carpenter now.

Thank you. I am just back and forth on this. This video shows what I orginally had in mind. . I reall would like to do it the way that pattenp suggested. Maybe I will feel better about it after I go through everything by drawing it out.

Very nice. But even more impressive is how there is no clutter. That amazes me! But back to the structure, where can I get detailed info on how to construct such a roof, figuring the angles of the cuts and such?

That is the ideal roof structure that I first envisioned. I just dont have the skills to figure and cut those angles on the 2x4 supports. I don't know if you did that yourself but great job!

I have attempted to resize the pics and upload them of where I want to attach the carport. I made the pics 620x280. Hope it works!
