Default My New Build

I'm building a 3 bedroom (with an office)/3 bath/3 car garage 2,650 sqft home on the San Bernard river in Brazoria County. It's on 2 acres, 200' of river frontage, with a decked boat lift and dock. Probably one of the most exciting accomplishments achieved because it took forever to afford the waterfront property! Here are a few pics, tell me what ya think.

Sorry about deleting my last thread along with some of yall's posts, but I screwed up the pics and started it over. I'll post more pics soon, and yes we have been catching specs and some reds and occasional flounder off the dock. We've had a really dry year pushing lots of fish up in the river
