I'm running a wood panel fence up to the corner of my *house. Question: is
there any reason not to attach a fence post to the house itself? I've seen
people around here do it both ways - sink a post next to the house, and just
bolt the post to the house itself.

Not only would I not attach the fence to the house, I would have a
gate near the house with the hinge side away from the house to allow
easy access for painting, ladders, etc.
