My house is almost three years old. In the back yard next to the house is a 18' X 36' patio with flag stone on top. Or at least there was. The flag stone started cracking and the grout was coming up in chunks.
After getting several opinions ( and much complaining from SWMBO) I decided to tear it out. Most of the flagstone came up fairly easy, but the jack hammer on the slab is getting the best of me and my helpers.
My question is if we just tear it out to the large crack that appears what was causing most of the problem, would I be successful tying in the new part with the old? If so, how do I do that?
One opinion is to drill into the side of the existing slab and insert rebar. I don't know, that's why I like woodworking.
