To my eye it isn't the step that isn't finished - it's the stuff right next to it.pcs in seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16395347124012060702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950432056117340540.post-83832189623921633482010-05-13T04:00:52.734-07:002010-05-13T04:00:52.734-07:00I think that the bigger issue is whether or not th...I think that the bigger issue is whether or not this presents a slight tripping hazard. When you walk into the garage, does the threshold jut out enough that your toe gets caught on it? Also, is the floor of the garage at the same height as the threshold or is it lower.<br /><br />If it is at the same height, a landing directly outside the garage, with an additional step, might be best from a safety point of view. If you are only concerned about aesthetics, then the faux riser is a good idea and I bet it would look fine. <br /><br />I have a similar condition at my garage but luckily it is low enough that it doesn't bother me all that much - the tripping is always the issue with ours though.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809676214189088361noreply@blogger.com
