Help! (re-post)

I am re-posting this to get some other ideas. This is a house that I will be starting on soon. Basically a lot of the original work on this house was done by the HO, and on top of that it hasn't ever been completely finished, nor has it been maintained. Anyways, they wanted me to just redo this window, and then side it when we vinyl the gable ends and put on the gutters. I, however, suggested changing the framing above the window to give it more weather protection(you can see where the water destroys the sill), and/or putting on a porch roof. The deck ends right where the window starts, and they are wanting the deck redone too. I was thinking about extending the deck past that window, then putting a roof over the deck. Other than that, I don't know what would look right here with the way the roof pitch is.

Any suggestions?
