yeah,,,but....what if you bought a home that already has the thin pavers. And what if what you want to accomplish is to rehabilitate the driveway to a point that it looks nice, and with the knowledge and skills acquired, won't be an overwhelming task to maintain, year by year. And what if all you really wanted to know was "what is the best way to adhere the (thin) paver to the concrete driveway", and what if you had already considered a bunch of alternatives, including scrapping the thin pavers, but had decided you didn't want to scrap all of that existing investment?
