Install Ledger Board and Support Posts

What happens here

Workers are seen carrying and positioning large pieces of pressure-treated lumber. A key step involves attaching a ledger board, which is a horizontal board fastened directly to the existing house structure (typically the rim joist). Simultaneously, vertical support posts are installed into prepared concrete footings (footings are not shown being poured but are implied by the presence of metal post bases). These posts provide critical vertical support for the entire deck frame.

Goal: A ledger board is securely attached to the house's rim joist, and vertical support posts are erected, forming the primary vertical structure for the deck.
