PP...sorry I missed ya'll. Was in SJP on this Tuesday meeting with builder and drove by your place....looking good! We should start building about the time you are moving in. IBB
Looking forward to having you as my neighbor. I bumped into many people on this blog during my visit, and if they are a true representation of the SJP community, we are going to have a great time and be very happy.
Well the only polite response to that is ... balderdash !
St James has over 2500 units built to date and ONE small section, Regency Park with about 100 homes have very similar looks.... the rest of the place, well, you will have to go a long way to find two houses that look anything alike on a street in the rest of the entire plantation.... they are QUITE strict about it.
PS: As far as being poorly built.... upwards of 90% of the homes have been built by individual homeowners, not the developer, these individual homeowners have contracted with over 50 different builders thoughout the years and the quality of construction and materials used are up to that individual homeowner.... unlike many of the surrounding plantations that either build the house and sell it or restrict your choice of builders to their own list.
But why confuse the issue with facts.

I worked in construction when I lived there. I put up probably 5000 houses during the boom in brunswick county. 99% of all new homes built are poorly built. they are all prefab, and snapped together by laborers. sorry if you don't like the facts. this isn't specific to st. james. do you know why the older homes in wilmington are still standing? because they were built by craftsmen, and people who knew their trades. so yes, st. james is a generic subdivision of poorly built cookie cutter homes.
And of course you have some facts to back up your claims? Would you mind sharing them with us?
what needs "backing up?" I laid out the homes and saw the quality of laborer who built them. you're right though, it's not in the middle of nowhere. is that bait shop still there? worms n stuff? there is also wal mart 15 minutes away, and a golden corral up the road. it's a regular metropolis. why is everyone so defensive of this generic subdivision? especially people who aren't from there?
Now who can argue with logic like that.... the gentleman was a construction worker years ago... yep, that'll do it for me ! What a dump.
I personally have a great deal of respect for the industry and those who choose to earn their living as construction workers. The construction crews that have built the homes in SJP know exactly what is behind the walls and within the foundation of these structures. I would honor their opinion.
