2) I kept drawing a rectangle moving the cursor around until by some
magic the starting face was aligned to the right axis to get the initial
box. So, now to add the porch addition, how do you set a distance from
one end as the start point for the next rectangle to pull out of the
face??? At least, from watching videos, that seems the way to make the
shape but all they do is free hand, not matching an existing/wanted
specific location.

Use the Tape Measure to mark the starting point.

And make all items into seperate components.
