the post box had 2 -2x6 boards somehow attached to the cement. The boards rotted out and fell over in a windstorm. I'd like to attach a 4x4 post bracket on the cement, then put a pressure treated 4x4 post for the mailbox. I think I need to get the bracket fixed so it's level before I drill into the cement. would I use an epoxy glue to do this?
If you can bore a one-inch or larger hole down through the concrete stump, you might be able to sink a metal holder made for deck posts and pour a little binder cement around that. I mean, how strong do you need to hold some mail?
I have a walk in closet with plywood pieces for a floor. Don't I need cement board installed before putting in wood flooring? Thanks for your help!!
You dont need cement board . You would just install it over the plywood subfloor. Personally I would go down to Home Depot or similar store and look at their floring and talk to a salespersomn there. If you have not done this before you need to find professional help.

Will the reinforced concrete cement board be soaked in water for a long time?
Reinforced concrete (English: Reinforced Concrete or Ferroconcrete), engineering often referred to as reinforced concrete (tong). Refers to a composite material that improves the mechanical properties of a concrete by cooperating with a composite material consisting of reinforcing steel bars, steel plates or fibers in concrete. For the most common form of stiffened concrete.

I assume that you mean the tiles are attached to the counter-top. The process is called demolition, and it can get dusty. Safety glasses are a must, a dust mask is recommended. First, starting at the back-splash, slice any caulk at the seams where the tile joins the wall with a sharp knife. Then, crack the tiles, enough to get a pry-bar under them. Peel, pry or knock the tiles off, exposing the plywood or cement board underneath. If you can find screws or nails attaching the back-splash to the wall, remove them. Then, look underneath the counter for screw or nails which attach the cabinet to the wall, remove them. At this point, you can try prying the whole structure away from the wall(s). Be careful about pry-bar placement. You should only pry where there is a stud on the inside of the wall, typically every 16. If it doesn't budge, look for any fasteners you missed. NB- Before you start, turn off the water, disconnect all the plumbing, cover the drain pipe (to keep debris out of it and sewer gas inside it. A drop-cloth would help in the cleanup. expect to spend some time patching the wall when you're done. Good Luck
I'm putting in a new tub surround this weekend (gutting the bathroom wall and starting from scratch). After I put cement board on the studs and install the tub surround, there will be a space about foot high between the surround and the ceiling. The cement board will be exposed. Can I paint the cement board so it matches the colors of the bathroom? Do I need to buy special paint or something? Obviously, I've never done this sort of thing before and I appreciate any advice I can get.
Your best best bet would be to put some spackle on it to cover all the little holes and ridges first. Yes you can paint it, in that area a semi-gloss would probably be good since it's fairly water-proof.
I want to lay some tile on a portion of the garage where we are putting in a small kitchen for garage use. If the floor is new would you have to lay cement board down on top of new cement before tiling?
You don't need cement board but you do need an isolation membrane. I use several coats of redguard so if the concrete cracks those cracks won't be transferred to the tiles. Also make sure the concrete is at least a month old before laying tile.
