Q: How much does it cost to build a patio with a fire pit?

• <div><p>To build a patio with a built-in fire pit, expect to pay an average of <b>$6,750</b>. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">cost to build a patio</a> alone is an average of <b>$3,500</b>. Although the cost of construction is higher, the patio and fire pit combination offers a better resale value than a patio alone or a patio with a fire pit add-on.</p></div>

Q: Could I get a concrete slab instead?

• <div><p>If you're only working with a gravel pad, and there is no concrete foundation, you might be able to upgrade to a concrete slab, but you&rsquo;d have to speak with a professional concrete expert to confirm and get pricing. If you have a concrete foundation or cement block walls around the area where you want to build flooring, you might be able to pour a new concrete floor over the existing one to forgo repairs. Again, speak with a concrete expert or foundation company to see if this is an option.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour concrete over an existing concrete patio?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour concrete over an existing concrete patio to resurface it. This is a common repair method called resurfacing. For the best results, the old concrete should be clean and free from debris, and the new slab should be at least three to four inches thick and contain reinforcements, like fiberglass fibers or wire mesh, to avoid cracking.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material for steep driveways?

• <div><p>You have a few options if you&rsquo;re looking for the best material for a steep driveway. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable and provide good traction, while resin helps prevent puddles from forming and can be coated with an anti-slip finish.</p></div>

Q: Which surfaces are scorpions unable to climb?

• <div><p>Scorpions have difficulty climbing smooth, non-porous surfaces like clean glass or polished metal because their pincers and feet cannot grip the surface effectively. While they are excellent climbers on rough or textured materials such as wood, stucco, or brick, slick surfaces prevent them from gaining traction or anchoring themselves. If you're trying to scorpion-proof parts of your home, using smooth materials for barriers or containers can be an effective deterrent strategy.</p></div>

Crew worked hard and did a good job on the house. My house has some weird angles and is pretty high in some places, but it didn't phase the guys at all. The rust removal on the chimney had limited effect so probably won't have that done next time.
