The story
A narrow lot with no side access — every board came through the living room. The deck ties into original 1911 siding, so the ledger detail got opened, flashed, and counter-flashed rather than lagged through the shingles and hoped for. Ipe 1×6, pre-drilled and clipped, left to silver on the north exposure.
