Hello,
I just bought a house and I have been notified that the small sidewalk leading to my front steps is cracked and is a building code violation. I want to fix it ASAP and hopefully keep the cost down by doing it myself since I have a laundry list of other things to fix. Can the sidewalk be repaired with a skim coat or some other method or do I have to pull up the broken sections and replace them?
This house is in Chicago so right now the average temperature is in the 50's but it gets colder at night, sometimes into the low 40's.
Just as a background, I don't have any concrete experience but I have plenty of woodworking, plaster, and tile experience.
thanks in advance!
Mark
