Do you need rebar in a concrete patio?
Depends on the size of the patio. Most can be done with only 6"X6" wire mesh.
Why would the concrete around the pool raise 1 inch above the concrete patio where the two areas are connected by a drain and what can be done about it?
I assume this might be to keep any dirty ground water from running into the pool.
Creating A Vibrant Color for your Concrete Patio?
Concrete patios have been hosting parties and outdoor festivities for years on end. The boring color of grey stone, however, sometimes drags down even the best of backyard parties. This is where concrete stain really makes it presence felt. It comes in an enormous amount of colors and is a very cheap alternative to turning a dull looking patio floor into a vibrant outdoor location. Another great part about stain is that it is an easy project that can be done in a little more than a weekend. Here are a few steps and tips for applying stain to your concrete patio. •Head on over to a local hardware store or nursery and obtain some concrete stain. Usually inexpensive, you will be able to find a few different alternatives to spruce up your concrete. Most of the stains available will come in pre mixed containers that will just have to be shaken for a complete mix to take action. There is also the option of working with a representative of the store to work on a custom color by mixing a few of the stains together. •Clean the area of work diligently. A pressurized washer will need to be used to remove all excessive dirt within any cracks or seams in the concrete. Any harder to remove stains will need an industrial cleaner to remove while all other stains will need no more than a wire brush and some hose water to remove. •Any foliage around the patio will have to be covered with a tarp or plastic sheeting to avoid any of the stain falling upon it and causing damage. There are some who suggest watering the plants completely as a form of protection so that the stain forms upon the water itself. •A concrete cleaner will need to be used containing some forms of phosphoric acid. The acid in the cleaner will greatly assist the stain in absorbing into the concrete and providing an overall covered finish. •Once the concrete cleaner has been applied, the patio will need to be soaked evenly and allowed to sit for a few days. •After the time has passed, the concrete stain can then be applied using an ordinary paint roller. A spray gun can also be used on the edges of the patio and any other hard to reach places. Once complete, allow 2 days to dry and then apply any further coats as necessary to your satisfaction.

Can you replace coping on vinyl liner pool with stone?
Afraid not. Vinyl liner pools are built using "concrete receptor coping" into which the deck is poured. It also contains the "bead receptor" that the vinyl liner attaches to. Actually YES it can. You would want to do this during a liner replacement but it can be done. You would have to remove the concrete from around the perimeter of the pool, remove/ replace the "concrete receptor coping" with bead receiver, aluminum extrusion, form/pour a bond beam, then lay your stone. Not really an easy do it yourself job but it can be done.

If you painted your cement patio with a concrete paint but want to tile over it will the mortar stick to the oil-based paint?
I recommend consulting the flooring manufacturer, however, my experience suggests that the application you describe is an acceptable risk. Adhesion of floor tile to grout is more important than the grout's adhesion to the painted concrete substrate. Uniform stability is very important, and you have that with your painted concrete slab. When I had my tile done, the company used a primer to rough up the smooth surface.
