Installing the Ledger Board

What happens here

A ledger board, which is a key structural component, is installed directly against the house. This board provides the main attachment point for one side of the deck. In the video, a worker is seen using a heavy-duty pneumatic fastener (possibly a Paslode Impulse or similar framing nailer) to secure the ledger board to the house's foundation or rim joist. Proper flashing and sealing behind the ledger board are critical to prevent water intrusion into the house structure.

Goal: Securely attach the ledger board to the house for deck support.
