Roof tie in for simple porch

I am adding a small porch to the front of my house and need to tie in the roof to the existing structure do I need to cut open the roof or can I get away with a "purlin" that attaches to the existing trusses?

Ok...this is the situation. I have a 2 car 24x24 foot garage that is attached with no insulation. It has 2x6 construction with 10' ceilings. What would you suggest for an r-value of rolled insulation kraft backed. I do not plan on heating the garage but just want to help the ambient temperature which I am hoping in turn will help the house temps plus help in the dampness of the garage during the winter. I was just thinking r-11 but not sure that is enough and I thoght that R-19 would be to much for my purposes. Any thoughts would ebmuch appreciated!! Thanks!

A hole in your garage floor?

Since I can't have my basement extend under my garage (house to be built) I am thinking that it would be sorta cool to have one of the bays have a "work-hole" in it. Something one could stand in to be under the vehicle so as to work on it (change oil, repair muffler etc). Has anyone heard of this being done? If so, what are the considerations? :confused:
