Apply Moisture Barrier to Repaired Area

What happens here

Once the new pressure-treated lumber is in place, a layer of self-adhering ice and water shield is applied over the entire repaired section. This membrane acts as a crucial moisture barrier, preventing water from penetrating the wood and causing future rot. The membrane is carefully unrolled and pressed firmly against the wall, ensuring full coverage and a tight seal.
