Went to check out the lot today. When we original purchased it 5 years ago, I went ahead and had a survey done, as well as well and septic locations flagged. Needed to be sure they still were.
While I was there, I took a couple of pictures of the creek in the back...
And there is a lot of construction outside of our neighborhood. I personally think it's great since there wasn't much there before hand. Wife isn't too happy with a Wal-mart coming in, but I certainly am :) It's not really that close to us, we are nestled back in a few neighborhoods which is all deeply wooded, but the Wal-mart is coming on the major highway that leads away from our neighborhood.
I'm a licensed North Carolina General Contractor who built a home to sell in 2008, and then built my own family home in 2014. I'm also a software engineer, marathon runner, and an occasional terrible golfer. I document my DIY experiences through this blog. ( http://wanderski.com )

Licensed!
Banks have really tightened up requirements for owner-builders. Basically, unless you are a GC you can forget it. And you need to own your property now outright. Well, as of a few days ago, both have been checked off the list! :)
Official Plans
We got our official plans back a few months ago, here they are in impossibly small print to make out any details ;)...
