PSA: My deck's ledger board was fine last fall, but after the winter it's pulling away from the house. Check yours before grilling season.

Remember that deck collapse video that went around a few years back? I still think about it every time I walk on mine.

That "pulling away from the house" happened to my neighbor's deck last year too.

My friend's deck in Bakersfield had the same issue, @allen.kai. The ledger board wasn't flashed right and water got behind it for years. They ended up having to replace the whole frame.
