We had to meet our kitchen sales person at noon today to take exact measurements. While there, the crew was quite busy installung the piggyback trusses (top section) and closing up the roof. Shingles should be next. We already picked a light grey color that should match well with the siding colors and keep the roof a bit cooler in the summer.
The garage ceiling / deck & porch floor has been closed up as well with a certain slope to make sure that rainwater is running off towards the west side (front of garage). Next step there (probably Saturday) is the installation of the membrane and then the porch can be built on top.

I went again in the evening to meet with the crew foreman. There is only a small area of the roof over the main entrance that is still open: The entry porch will be added tomorrow.
The 2' overhang is larger than the typical houses here in the area (they only have1' or less) and makes for a more European look. As does the somewhat steeper roof slope.
