Well, I can tell ya, when you are forced to get it done by a "professional,"
make sure you look around! We just paid a fortune to get our driveway
redone, yet have several spots that look wet, they feel hollow, and are
quite brittle. Called the fella, but did not receive a call back. So I
don't know what the problem is, but I can guarantee we won't be using him
again.

If anyone knows there way around concrete, I sure have a question:

I want to to some patching and touchup on my concrete driveway to try
and postpone the inevitable replacement.

Does new concrete adhere to the older concrete? One pad at the
entrance to the garage has drooped, and so I have about a 1.5 inch bump
to drive over. I just want to smooth that with cement from the Home
Depot, knowing that it will continue to drop a bit further, eventually
crack off, and require full replacement of the pad one day. Just hoping
to postpone the inevitable due to finance issues.

If I smooth that bump, will the concrete "stick" to the driveway, or
will I just be creating a sort of angled piece of concrete that will
slide off the existing surface?

Hope I explained that okay, as I don't know anything about concrete,
other than I know that fixing my driveway will one day cost me a
fortune :-)

Thanks,

Mark
