Sure would appreciate your thoughts
Still remodeling. Finished installing the windows and doors. Also installed a set of all-vinyl french patio doors on the rear of the house. I installed the patio doors per the manufacturers instructions (Gorrell), but doing so left the threshhold flush with the exterior sheathing. I have a mason ready to install the brick veneer. How can I kill out the brick at the bottom of the patio doors with no overhang on the threshold?
Any ideas would be sincerely appreciated.
New knowledge is priceless.
Used knowledge is even more valuable.

I'll give you what we call a "bump"--no answer, just moves your post up the list so others can answer.
Seems odd that it would come out flush like that. None the less, how about adding an extruded Al threshold extension right below the outer bottom edge of the vinyl patio door. MD Building Products makes thresholds and other pieces of various sizes. (look at the .pdf catalog in the bottom left of the page).
I'd say that obviously this needs to be resolved before the bricklayer gets there, because usually a brick veneer includes a sloped rowlock thresholds below ext doors. This would be laid up underneath the extended threshold.
I was in a situation where I needed extensions for 24 door thresholds. I ended up getting Lowes (believe it or not) to order them for me and it worked out fine.
