It looks like you need to remove some material at the hardwood level in order to get an end piece in there. If you can do that then the backside of the 90 would equal your 1 5/16. The end piece wouldn't be mandatory but I think it would look better in the long run

Got a bunch of that thinset chiseled away from the edge.
(And I did not chip or break any of the tiles !! ) grin Here are the after pictures. Now, I know that it doesn't show up too well in the pictures, but the area that I chipped away at, is pretty much level now. One spot I might go back and take a 2nd look at , but I figured I would quit while I was ahead. ( And didn't break any of the tiles !! )

The other thing you could do is to take a couple pieces oak and glue them so you have enough thickness, and then saw a bevel down to the hardwood level. Run it through the table saw until you have the height you need. 1 5/16"

That would also cover that excess thinset and the old vinyl.

Is it the photo or does that wood floor have a sag in the center of the doorway or a hump on the right hand side?

Yes and no.

1. That sag is where they poured 6 bags of floor leveler . The "Tileman" frown did not set that one tile correctly and I did not see it till the job was done.

They also left the Kitchen Cabinets half completed. I had to box in t2 corners that were left open. And on the one corner they left open, they put a 2x4 to brace up the tile counter top by the stove. I got sick of waiting for them to come back to finish the job, so I turned a spindle on the lathe and replaced that 2x4 with the Oak Spindle.

We had that wind here too... was out of power for 12+ hours. Wouldn't bother me so much if we didn't have three freezers and a cooler in the store frown

I guess it's not a good sign that my teeth are chattering from just reading that.

No it isn't. You may have to bring a wool insert for your Doctor's Nightguard.

There's a place about a mile up the road from me that will probably be up for bid soon. Friends of ours had to let it go back to the bank, nice place, has electricity but no water. 2.2 acres I think, set up for a dog lot, but nice 2 bedroom log cabin.
