I want to build a wrap around porch on my house, I am a littel grey on how to tie the two roofs togather.
I have a pic but don't know how to add it to this

Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

Part of the question is also the porch floor. Also may not be as simple as one might think...

Without actually seeing what you want to do I think it will require "hip" at each intersection when you are changing direction. Might be some guidance here  http://forums.finehomebuilding.com/breaktime/construction-techniques/hip-roof-wraparound-porch
