Doorsill

The big sliding door needed to be supported out beyond the edge of the trailer, so we put in a metal sill:


Here you can see how it hangs over the edge of the trailer. There is a piece of light-colored foam on the ground in the background, that makes it hard to see how the red part goes:


It stuck out beyond the wall, so I made a little piece to support the flashing tape. The two little flanges on the left-hand side go under the red sill, to fill the gap behind the red sill, so the tape has something to sit on:


You can't see where it goes under the lip of the red metal, but here is it installed:


I'll put down flashing tape, and then protect it from footsteps with another piece of metal. Here I am forming and installing that exposed door sill. I need it to cover the tape that steps around the metal in the corner shown above.



The flange is bent:



Have the step, just need to bend the upstanding flange by my left thumb:

One corner, neat and square:
