Actually prepping the area with concrete is hardly temporary. I still think your new one inch pad can't be expected to last as long. I guess it depends on your location (how bad your winters are). Not saying it will be bad in a couple years but I have seen issues with doing an inch of concrete in a temperature controlled basement. | |

| May 12, 2014 at 19:12 | comment | added | DMoore | @ChrisW. - there was a reason why someone put flagstones there. They choose a "temporary" solution and if you don't mind doing this every 7-10 years just put in pavers. | |
