extending cement slab
There used to be a drain running beneath the brick just prior to the entrance. Thought I would remove approx. 2' to 3' of bricks then use 2"x6" to frame for a slab and marry it to the existing slap then install bricks on top of both slabs?
I am not sure how I should marry the new to existing slabs, should I add some type of material to act as an expansion joint between the new and existing slap or can I use what I believe is referred to as a 'hand groove' tool?
Oh, the holes around the screen door are due to my using the reverse thread trim screws, they work great unless one needs to replace trim and/or siding, in my case to replace the screen door. .
Comments/Suggestions appreciated!!

There is no way your going to get the new and old slab to "join" so yes, pour the new slab and use a concrete groove tool on the one side and your good!
