Yes, the building code stated where possible you should penetrate the rim joist of the house with the bolt. So, yep, I'm going through brick, air, 2X something hard, and into the joist bay in the basement. I was actually worried when I was trying to do half the ledger on the brick and half on

I had hung a ledger board on the wall but pulled it down again. I basically was winging it a bit and made sure the two holes I put in didn't conflict with internal house joists. I figured I would just make sure I had one bolt per internal house joist and then just hang the external joists whe

Dale, all good tips. I've already thought of most of them but need to implement them. I like the idea of the extra 2X4 on the spacer to be able to hang it off the ledger. Since I am laying the deck boards on a 45 I decided to go with 12 inch centers rather than 16. It is overkill but I figu
