How do I anchor the 4X4 posts for my new fence to the house?
Also, what type of nails are best for the cedar fence which I will later stain?

I agree w/ Mikall on this one. I’d prefer to see the 4×4 in it’s own hole which will easily allow you to extend the fence past it to the house. Especially if you are in a part of the country that has freezing weather, the fence can move at a different rate than the house. Plus penetrating your houses membrane is asking for future problems, wood rot, moisture penetration etc.
With cedar you are best to use stainless nails. Most nails including galvanized will leave dark stains from rain which will be unsightly. Good Luck.
