| You wouldn't have this problem if
the 2 x 6 creating the floor area of the landing went over the stair
ledger. This would be even better if the 2 x 6 extended over the
ledger about 1 inch creating a stair nosing. As you can see where the
red arrow pointing to a gap between the ledger and the landing. This gap
will fill up with water when it rains and moisture when certain weather
conditions are relevant. The gap in this picture has rotted the ledger
from the back as well as the front creating more damage behind the
ledger.
