What happens here
After the siding is removed, use a level and a chalk line to mark the precise position for the ledger board on the house wrap. Then, attach the ledger board firmly to the wall studs using structural screws and an impact driver, ensuring it is perfectly level.
Goal: Securely re-attach the ledger board, accounting for house wrap and ensuring level placement.
