Can you put ceramic tile over ceramic tile?
You can, but you want to be sure the ceramic tile is not cracked or broken, make sure it is even, and not loose. It is reccomended that you you always remove any old tile before tiling. You can always lay a subfloor on top of the old tile to ensure your new tile was crack or pop out.
What should i choose asphalt or concrete for my entrée de garage(driveway)?
We have had both. Concrete tends to look better and hold up longer, but the surface stones can pop out and the concrete can crack. It is more expensive to install than concrete. We paid additional for a formula that would have fewer surface pops. New asphalt driveways look nice, too. There are pros and cons to sealing them every year. Sealants give the driveway a new look but don't necessarily prolong the life of the driveway. The surface of an asphalt driveway can become uneven and will crack. Tire pivot points will wear and tire depressions will form where vehicles are regularly parked. The dark color can be a heat sink due to sun exposure and can actually soften with the heat That can be a negative during a hot summer, but our south-facing asphalt driveway seemed to finish snow removal jobs by melting whatever remained. Asphalt is less expensive, but generally needs to be replaced more often than concrete. Some folks have gone to using paving bricks in driveways. That looks nice, but you have to fight weeks growing in the cracks and it makes for a noisy and bumpy ride for anything wheeled across it. (think wheeled garbage bins or luggage). Whichever driveway you choose, you need to do your homework on the proper installation and watch that your contractor adheres to those parameters. Also check the contractor's guarantees and reputation. We had to take one contractor to court because an asphalt driveway was installed cold and didn't last a year.

Why did your fiberglass pool pop out of the ground?
The pool has popped out of the ground because it was was forced up by ground water. If a pool is left empty ground water can build up underneath it causing the pool to start to float, Whenever a pool is drained a way of getting rid of ground water has to be set up otherwise there is the risk of this happening.
A fiberglass lap pool that is tiled is having tiles popping off and needs to be retiled what should be used so the tiles do not pop off again?
Pool tile pops off very often. It happens most often on lifted walls that are set up to be a retaining wall. It also happens on the wall that divides the pool from the spa, also known as the spillway wall. The tiles should be replaced using thin set mixed with an acrylic instead of water. This makes a very strong bond to the gunite and instead of them popping of completely next time there is earth movement, they will actually get hairline stress cracks. Somtimes not even noticable.
Does a salt water pool need to be drained annually?
In a word, no. In fact, if the pool is vinyl or fiberglass (or you live in an area with a high water table) draining ANY pool is not a good idea. A drained pool can pop out of the ground or the liner can be ruined unless special precautions are taken. IF you live in an area that gets hard freezes a pool needs to be winterized but that is not the same as draining it. Since salt pools do not use stabilized chlorine then they do not become overstabilzed. The only reason water partial replacement might be needed is if the calcium hardness is very high and this often involves trucking in softer water is the supply water is very hard. (however, in areas with high calcium hardness, such as Arizona, there are companies that can 'process' the water in the pool to remover the excess calcium so water replacement might not be neceessary)

Is it true that an inground pool may 'pop up' out of the ground when drained?
Yes it is true. if you empty a pool and the ground-water level is high enough, the pool turns from being a 'pool', to being a 'boat'. I have personally witnessed the event. A 45ft concrete (gunite) pool while being emptied, with the discharge water being pumped out close to the pool - and whammo!!. It was like the second coming of Christ!. A huge noise, and the pool reared itself out of the ground. We were inside the house and heard the noise and only knew what happened when we looked outside and saw the pool angled out of the ground, 4 ft higher at one end than it started out at.
