anybody got any thoughts on installing concrete pavers or saltillo
tile over an existing concrete patio. the patio is in good shape, but
is in four sections.


If you use concrete pavers, you don't need to put them in a bed of mortar.
Just use a masonry adhesive to glue the border pavers to the concrete,
simply set the other pavers on the concrete. Check the square of your
existing patio and chalk some string lines to guide your install. Brush some
masons sand in on the top to fill the joints, done.

When gluing, apply the glue in strips, in the same direction as the slope,
so that water will escape.
