Imagine it's a sill pan (or pan flashing). This image is looking from the outside. Intended to keep water out of the house.

I would expect it to look more like this, without the space where the numbers are written showing.

PPF...i hate to ask. Is something screwed up here. If this is a flashing and from looking at your illustration, is this piece installed wrong? Thank you.

Ok..I found this. Our framers installed all of our windows and doors and they are long gone. I'm sure this is probably correct and I'm probably silly for being up this late researching this to figure out if it's correct. But, somehow this track/pan protruding out just doesn't quite look right. Shouldn't the finished floor come right up to the door? As it is this piece will be between the door and the finished floor. What am I missing.

Heading out to get a pic. Thanks.

PPF..here's a shot from the screened porch exterior.

A different door and what will be a deck

Thank you.

Without seeing for myself, I'm just guessing, but it sure looks like an incorrect installation to me. The doors will need to come out for a proper fix.

Not sure what type of "building supervisor" you have, but this should have been noticed and fixed immediately.

Can you supply an image of the door from below? And a close up of the door's threshold from below? Like the sketch below, looking up.

Mark. I can't get back to the site today. I can get a pic of the door from below but not a close up. its too high up. I can get a pic on Sunday. Thank you.

wheres the pepto bismol?

PPF...any guess as to what kind of installation error. please elaborate.

I went to our Builders supply to try to get to the bottom of this, so I wouldn't fret all weekend over it. They were also puzzled and assured me they would get to the bottom of it.

They sent the pic to Marvin and just heard back from Marvin that this piece that so concerned me was a piece that allowed for installation of the Marvin Shade system and is removed easily. I had no interest in a shade system and have no idea why this piece is on my doors or if they put it on standard but the whole thing really leaves me pissed.

they also assured us that the installation looks correct. I sure as the he** hope so.

Gentlemen, thank you for trying to help me and I still appreciate it if you have any concerns about this installation to let me know.

i'm starting to hate this house.

Oh yeah. If you are interested.

If it is any consolation . . . Nice View!

Thanks Mark. The view is the only think pushing me forward right now.

i'm starting to hate this house.

Hey you got too far to go to hate yet. Wait till you're at my point in the build. I am at the despise point.

So if you aren’t using the shades, can this “extra” be removed? Bless you, hang in there!

Cp...I know you are and how could you not be? I don't think it's hate as much as resentment. I just want my life back! Eh, first world problems, right?

Providence...yes, the Marvin rep told my contact that it could easily be removed. But, why is it there to start with...The worst thing is...I'm so stupid, I did some research on their shade system and I'm actually considering keeping the system in my master bedroom slider! A fool born every minute, lol.

Thank you for the kind words :-)

Excellent "mistake marketing"! ha!
