Stair Landing

This is what I was working on all of last week. The landing by the basement stairs and the garage door was really unlevel.  The floor dropped 7/8 in. towards the basement and 1/4 in. right to left.  The real problem was that the garage floor had been paved over a few times raising the level about 3 in.  Pictures below show my giant shims that I used to level the floor and bring it up to the threshold of the door. 

The checkerboard pattern is the original kitchen flooring from 1955.

This is my new level landing.

This is the framing for the new step.
