Waterfront in Port Neches

One of the projects I'm working on is a home in River Oaks in Port Neches.  The home is located on a waterfront lot that connects to the Neches River.  This has been a unique and exciting project for several reasons.  For one, its been my first time building in Port Neches and becoming familiar with the permitting process.  There are a lot of approvals and inspections needed for new construction.  For another, this is my first home with a large retaining wall.  Here are a couple of pictures of the retaining wall during construction:



As you can see from the house across the water, these walls are important for the stability of the house and also for access to the water.  Since completing the retaining wall, we have also poured the slab and have started framing.  Here is a picture of the slab.  This was one of the largest pours I've done to date.
