| On my build there is 9 inches from top of the subfloor down to the foundation ledge that protrudes 4.5 inches. That area directly below the door thresh-hold where the flare would not exist (if returned on both sides) has me confused. Our slider which faces directly south needs to have a landing built with steps. So I am unsure how to finish this for a long term weathertight transition over the foundation ledge. I was actually wondering if it would be best to plan for the landing and steps to be freestanding. That would allow the flare to continue under the threshold and be joined in a continous weathertight manner. But then my big concern would be the proper construction of the top of the flare. Should it be planned as an extension of the threshold and made flat? It has even crossed my mind to actually build "out" the two doors this affects (slider & rear man door) where they would be in the same vertical plane as the foundations outward edge. Though I certainly do not want to create something wierd. Am I making more out of this than need be? Certainly open to opinions. Thank you mighty was a pleasure with my morning coffee. |
