Driveway and sidewalks done, deck started

They finished the drywall and texturized it on Friday.  They also did special "venetian plaster" type of texture effect on the dining room wall.  I didn't realize I was getting that but was happy to see it.  I think it is going to look really nice.  They poured the sidewalks and driveway yesterday and that is all finished.  They also started the deck on the back of the house and it's done except  for the railing and the stairs.  I guess we should be seeing some finish work on the inside of the house now.  I need to pin him down the the completion date so I can lock in on a rate before they go any higher.
