Oh god, flashbacks to doing IT for a civil engineering firm. One of the transportation inspection guys had his phone pop out of his pocket and watched as it got rolled over by a steamroller and then covered in a layer of tarmac. The cell provider kept trying to tell me, if we knew where the phone was, it wasn’t “lost.”

I mean...you’re welcome to try and retrieve it, but I’m not putting in that much effort.

Is that the point where you say "gently caress it" and start raising everything to accommodate a higher floor level?

The good news is concrete isn't exactly Rock Epoxy. Shovel as much out as you can while it's wet, as triage. If the stairs and landing have a smooth finish the fresh concrete isn't going to bond well, so even if you walked away it would chip off mostly clean. Lots of detail cleanup after though from splatter, dust etc. It would be a poo poo job though, made worse by having to be careful.

Typically pouring concrete on concrete for quality requires you tonroguhen the surface, add reinforcement bar, and a bonding agent. The bonding agent I had to get last time was called Moose Milk, a name you don't forget.

It's also possible to stop concrete from setting with incredible amounts of sugar. There are ways to fix this, but most rely on speed

Its not a deck, its a boat, therefore no building permit needed. And lets face it, its probably better built and safer than if they'd actually built a deck, permit or not.

The boat, however, has a deck.

I wonder if that makes the deck construction subject to maritime law...

I think you'll find it's ADMIRALTY law. This man is clearly traveling over the land by use of a maritime conveyance and is thus not subject to property tax levied by the illegal government on his legal entity with whom he has not created joinder.

This is how they stopped the "oops we accidentally pumped concrete into the switch gear of one the major London underground lines in the middle of the day" mess from becoming a complete and utter disaster. Particularly because a lot of it was solid state relays and I'd assume that anyone that knew how it was wired is now dead.
