If so, what type of caulking? Also I would think it would be a white caulking? Your opinions, as usual, are greatly appreciated.
Some places use expansion joints but in The Villages I have noticed that it is usually a cut between two slabs for expansion of the concrete to keep it from cracking. This to me is not a repair it is a replace the slab situation. The concrete finishes in The Villages are art work compared to the finishes done in NJ. Welcome and good luck.
