Had someone lay the block for me. Will do the rest with some help from a friend of mine. This site is beside the cabin I live in year around,purchased this lot after looking for the owner for six years and finally finding him on facebook. Will use this cabin for family and friends also plan on doing some vaction rental with it. I am located in the mountain section of North Carolina and alot of folks from Florida come this way during the summer and fall..I attached a photo of the cabin I live in..

Nice lookin' cabin, DC. What is your water source and how do you dispose of gray (sinks and showers) and black (toilet) water? I could not see any excavation for a septic system.

Do have a septic in been inspected and covered up all but the 4inch pipe that I ran under the footer which I can not connect until I get the rough plumbing inspected which should be next week...Water source will be a well just have not put it in yet...Hope to have it dug next month
