How do you repair concrete cracks in patio and sidewalk?
Once concrete is cracked, there is no way to effect a real repair. You can use sealant to fill the cracks in, however. To do this, remove every speck of dust and debris from all the cracks, finishing with a hard blast of water. Let dry thoroughly, then fill in the cracks with Sonolastic NP-1 in silver-gray or limestone color, strictly following manufacturer's instructions. Pick the color that best matches your concrete. Do not substitute for the Sonolastic NP-1 . . . it is a proven, industrial strength product. If the cracks are deeper than 1 inch, tamp in some backer rod so that you have about a 3/4 inch crack depth to caulk. Backer rod is a round hard foam that comes in various diameters and lengths. The backer rod should be a little larger than the cracks are wide. You will probably have to buy several sizes to fit all your cracks. Do not caulk over the top of your concrete, just fill the cracks to the top.

Can ceramic tile be installed over quarter-inch concrete backer board rather than half-inch if the underlayment is a three-quarter inch 7-layer flooring grade plywood?
You did not mention if the three-quarter inch stuff was T&G (tounge and grove), that might make a little difference. I am not an expert in this area but have some personal experiences to share. I was allways told from old school you should have two layers of half inch material one layer turned ninety degrees from the other to give a solid one inch floor. Then you could use the one quarter backerboard and end up with a good tile floor. Then the new school came along and told me i could use one quarter over the T&G three quarter. They said the three quarter T&G was equal to the old style one inch. I tried it with the three quarter and i have several grout cracks and two broken tiles. I was using one quarter quarry tiles six by six. Have now fixed yet but in another room i used three quarter T&G plus another one half inch plywood then one half inch backerboard and same tiles no cracks.
