WHEN IS A DECK NOT A DECK?

Well, we have the new cedar boards nailed in place on the deck, which is thereby according to strict definition a deck again and can be walked upon and trafficked over, were one to seriously desire to do so, though I might have to stop one, since the boards haven't yet been weather treated, to which end we have the new section tarped over in wait for the boards to cure a bit during, say, a 72-hour duration of no moisture cascading from the sky, which these days seems about as likely as winning the Jumbo Lottery, so no, according to an even more personally stringent definition it's not a deck. Does that answer your question?
