A friend of mine is adding a concrete slab patio to the back of his house. He has enough experience in pouring and finishing concrete that he is comfortable doing the patio. But, he has a question about where the patio meets the house. The house has a brick exterior where the patio will meet the house, and he is wondering if he should just pour the concrete right up to the house, or place an expansion joint along the back of the house and pour up to that. I don't know the answer but I said I would try posting the question here. His house is in New Jersey in case that matters in terms of climate etc.
