Construction Error and trip hazard
Comments (7)The family room floor is above a basement room built at the same time. There is a poured foundation and then wood framing on top of that supporting the floor. Tearing it out isn't an option. The opening between the dining area and the family room was once a double sliding door to the old deck so the doorway where this "step" is is very wide.

Keep thinking, I appreciate your ideas!...See MoreTop of stairs stringer tripping hazard.. to code?

I show flooring here on the ledge just as an idea....See MoreWhat's wrong with this floor transition?
