Post pulling away from roof


I have a 39-year-old house in Colorado. It has a roof ledge of about 8 feet protruding from the house, supported by a 4x4 pole resting on a prefabricated cement pier. Probably by mistake, I added a number of serious additions, supported by this post. Several wooden screens with blinds and one corner of a 20 x 20 wooden deck. The pole seems to be falling from the roof. Looks like about 1”. I need advice on what I should do with this at the moment. Thanks.

Looks like you need to get some reparations done:)

Actually, the house looks nice. Better than the one I used to live in with my family five years ago.
I like when the thing is made of wood because they look much cozier than the concrete or aluminum ones. The soffit and fascia are the only places where aluminum looks nice and useful. If you make them of wood, there is a high possibility of it bending down or getting any other kind of distortion. Even if you cover the wood with a very good anti-corrosion solution. It’s just wood, and you can do nothing about that.
Regarding the porch in your house, I can advise you to get more screws there and fasten the things as much as possible.
