I got a call this morning from a local who had a Sunroom installed. The guy who did it seemed to do a decent job. The only oversite was the exterior door that is now an "interior" door...the threshold presents a pretty good trip hazzard and over thanksgiving he had three people trip in it, including one running child who took a good fall. It wants it fixed...
I asked what the orginal builder had said. The customers reply was the guy said the problem is that the door is an exterior door and pretty much didn't have any ideas or want to get involved. I was kind of thinking along he same lines.:blink:
We talked about a few ideas off the cuff from just pulling out the threashold and installing larger door sweeps... Pulling the theshold and lowering the jambs, all the way up to installing an interior french door...
I am not really sure which way I want to go on this one, or if I really want to tackle such a project. My first thought was cut the jambs and install a lower profile threshold...lower the doors to it... but there is still going to be a decent lip down to the tile floor.
Right now, what I am thinking is, pull the old threashold, make a new one from oak or the sort with a much smaller lip, where the weather proof seal is, install that one and the trip hazzard is cut in half...
If someone is local and had a better idea, I not going to sit here, ask to steal your idea and use it to make money. I would be willing to refer the job to you.
