Flooring meets exterior door trim
I've been installing flooring and left a 1/2" gap by the exterior door. However, after I thought maybe the metal trim was supposed to cover it.
is there something I can do to cover this or just wood baseboard trim?

For something like that I would have put a piece parallel to the door frame leaving a 3/16" gap which I would caulk, then all the other pieces would fit to that (assume that is tongue and groove).
Too late, as noted some type of custom trim threshold piece!

I thought everything needed a half inch gap!
i could just cut a straight line parallel to the door and put a piece of wood parallel with the door?
Height difference is not much 1/2 maybe 1/4

Fill the gap with any sort of shim and lay a 1/4" thick piece of maple (or similar) over it. Round the edge.
