I have seen it work and not work. The rougher the old concrete the better the new stuff will stick.
About fifteen years ago we had a concrete driveway poured at one of our rentals. The guy who did the work was a bit of a fly-by-night operator, but he was cheap so we took a chance. He had a contractor come in to tear out the old driveway with a front end loader/backhoe, which went well until they got to the slab right next to the house.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
