Re: Rafter intersection
It's not so important that the rafters are snug to each other, but rather that the rafters are snug to the ridge board.

That wouldn't work in a 110 mph or greater wind speed zone where I am at.
Ridge board would need a metal strap down to the ridge brace.
I'd also be concerned about the lack of fasteners in the shingles.

That piece between the post and the intersecting rafters looks like an afterthought to me; as if the original construction was a peak (like maybe a turret, or a bay dining nook) which was starting to sag, and they put the post in to stop that process. If so, I'd be looking for possible spreading on the walls.
