Install New Deck Ledger Board

What happens here

With the house wall repaired and protected, the main pressure-treated ledger board for the new deck is brought into position. It is carefully aligned against the house, where it will serve as the crucial structural connection point for the deck's joists. The video implies that this ledger board is then securely fastened to the house's framing, likely using heavy-duty lag screws or similar structural fasteners, although the explicit action of driving these screws for the main ledger is not shown in close-up. Additional flashing (ice and water shield) is applied over the top of the newly installed ledger board to create a comprehensive weather seal and prevent water penetration between the ledger and the house.

Goal: The new pressure-treated ledger board for the deck is positioned against the prepared house wall, forming the primary attachment point for the deck joists.
