Question for y’all. Does anyone who own a DR Horton home in Brunswick county have issues with the lights in their home randomly flickering? I put in a warranty request and their electricians did something with all my light switches (including left holes in my wall) but the problem was never resolved. I put in another request and the warranty department said that there’s nothing they can do and to reach out to my local electric company as it’s probably a power grid issue. Reached out to BEMC, they came out and said everything was good on their end. I’m at a loss on what to do because never in my 27 years of living have I been in a house where the lights randomly flicker so I know I’m not crazy. I’ve tried unplugging everything including major appliances to see what’s triggering it and that doesn’t work.

My issue is DR Horton’s warranty department is gaslighting me and BEMC is saying it’s a house wiring issue. Neither party is willing to help me and I don’t know what to do from here.

Context: the ceiling lights are the wired version, not the kind that takes an actual bulb.

I am purchasing my first investment property in Brunswick county. A 4 bedroom two bath home about 1800 sq ft. I don’t live in the area and I am aiming to make it something affordable for the local community. I was thinking about renting it for 1900-2000. Would that be considered an affordable rent for the area? Any recommendations on where to advertise a rental in Sunset Beach, is there a place that locals search for rentals? Thanks

Please DM me or post a home inspector for Sunset Beach if you know of someone reputable and knowledgeable.

I live out of state and I don’t want to use the builder recommended home inspector. Thank you

So my fiancé and I have an appointment at the courthouse to get married tomorrow. My sister is gonna be a witness, but our second witness became unavailable last minute and we’re desperately trying to find someone to be the second witness. It’s at 2pm and I’m freaking out because I’ve already taken leave from work and we’ve been looking forward to this day for so long 😭

Honestly, I’m over it. These political signs are EVERYWHERE. I doubt anyone changed their vote because they saw a sign on the side of the road. Am I the only one who's completely fed up with this? I see them everywhere on Highway 17 for crying out loud. There should be stricter rules.

I was wondering if a presidential candidate has ever made a campaign stop here in Brunswick County. With all the political attention on swing states, it would be interesting to know if any candidates have come through this area in the past. They always go to Wilmington. If anyone has memories of a visit or knows of one, feel free to share!

This is a horrible idea for the environment.

New to Brunswick county and was wondering what people are using for cell service? We have Verizon and our coverage sucks here. Also what are most doing for water? Bottled ? Installed system or just drinking the tap water? Thanks

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the kind man who stopped and helped me change my tire today. Your generosity to lend a hand during a frustrating situation made it so much easier, and I can’t thank you enough! Moments like these remind me of how wonderful the people here in Brunswick County really are.

Do any of you guys remember that one guy that would video tape traffic in the afternoons going into Leland ? I know he had a youtube channel where he would post some of the stuff he recorded. I haven’t seen him in a while, was wondering if any of you guys have seen him recently ?

Each school's letter grade and performance score are based upon the school's achievement score and its growth score, both contributing 80% and 20% respectively. With many schools in Brunswick County currently rated at a C, we need to recognize that this is not a level we should be proud of. C indicates average performance, which means there's significant room for improvement.

I’m patiently awaiting mine but not feeling all that sure that it will arrive. UPS tracking still says it’s on for today but isn’t showing a location like it typically does. Wondering if anyone else in Brunswick who pre-ordered received theirs today.

Fell in love with the area on a recent trip and while researching I went down the rabbit hole of PFAS and linked cancers . Is this why the housing market is so affordable in shallotte ?

Brunswick co. has come up #1 on multiple searches for contamination , Not to mention the unregulated coal ash use in the area. Sounds like Dupont/chemour tainted a piece of paradise to me.
