	Jack Blanchard, pictured front, left-center, has been employed at Bayou State Homes for more than thirty years. Blanchard has been so pleased at Bayou State, he recommended the place to his children as a spot to seek employment. As a result, he now has working with him his five sons, two sons-in-law and three grandsons. "It's a family affair," explains Newton Thibodeaux, "and they are all excellent carpenters."
In 1981, Newton's son N.J. "Chip" Thibodeaux joined the company with a bachelor's degree in Architecture from LSU and three years experience in the field of Architecture gained from working in Lafayette and New Iberia.  This contributed to the company's ability to custom design floor plans for its customers, and continued the process of company improvement along with higher-end homes and on-site construction.
