@Nealtw thanks for the advice.

What about on this side of the cover? Trying to plan on how I will tie into the roof of my fireplace exhaust.

That is kind of your choice
Easiest is to put the post and gable right beside that roof so you can just slip the step flashing under those shingles.
And then run the fly rafter one foot more or like it up with the edge of the slab so it is over that roof.
Do you have a plan for that other roof with the metal roof?

The gazebo is gone! I sold it.

would you remove the metal flashing on this side of it? it has an offset of 45deg on it

Hmm, I am guessing the ceiling of the new will match this some what so this will just be a guess.

See if you can make something of this, I have made ceiling match the return on the fireplace and the ceiling in under that roof.

you are the man! I can’t thank you enough for the help! I’d love to send you something if I could, I’m sure I will have more questions lol

 

[Tjosterh]

I forgot to post this earlier.
Or you could just cut the roof off so the new gable lines up with the fireplace wall below.

The thing I’m worried about is how close the 6x6 post will be to the edge of the slab.any idea on how far away the post should be from the edge of the slab?

 

[Tjosterh]

You said there was footing in and inspected, do you have the plan for that?

yeah here are the footing locations. This is before they were dug out and filled back.

 

[Tjosterh]

The center of the post is in the center of those.

That was my original plan. If I do this, the edge of the fireplace bump out won’t match up to this post location

 

[Tjosterh]

How much experience do you have, will you need hints for the whole job?

I was a metal fabricator for a few years and a built small projects. This will be my biggest.
This is the game plan on, what do you think?

 

[Tjosterh]

The distance from the bottom of the window on the 2nd floor to the concrete pad is 13’.
The floor joist is engineered wood

You might get to a 4/12 pitch, That would put the beam ( ceiling) height 5 ft below the window upstairs.
3 1/2 /12 would put it 54" from the window

How far from the edge of the concrete would you set you 6x6 post? The distance from the edge of the roof to concrete edge is 9.5”

 

[Tjosterh]

How high are the ceilings inside the house. We would like the ceiling to attach to the rim.
I would put the posts in the center of the footing that way too.
The beam can extend to the the edge of the concrete.

Ceilings are 9’

 

[Tjosterh]

If you do 9ft the match the over hang then the ceiling material will want to match that overhang.
Making the ceiling just a little lower might make it easier to deal with but the rim joist might be at 9' 5" as you measure from the slab not the top of the floor? The top of the floor will be about 1 1/2" above the bottom of the siding.
It's a tricky one.

To go a little high you might leave that roof but go thru the plywood .
