Dec 2023. Blues Vol 39 No. 12

walk-through? NO. But no home
is today. As long as they correct
any problems and fine tune the
finishes, you’ll be satisfied that
you have the best home for the
money. Remember, these aren’t
custom homes for $1 million
plus. You’re buying a tract home
priced from $300-$800. But the
difference between a crappy
home and a well-built home is
all up to the man in charge. And
in this case, I’m damn glad it’s
Mike LaFoy..
At the conclusion of our meeting,
he said it would take 90-120
days to build the home. The lot
had already been cleared and
stabilized fill had been added
to the area where the foundation
would be. Within the next
two weeks, the plumbing would
be completed and inspected,
and then the prep-work for the
foundation would follow. The
concrete pour for the foundation
was tentatively scheduled for the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving
and sure enough that’s exactly
when it took place. I might add,
that on the day of the pour, Mike
was there overseeing every inch
of new concrete.
I’ve added photos of the progress
so far. Next month, we’ll
discuss in detail the options you
have for financing as well as
follow the progress of the build.
I’d like to thank my sales rep,
Rhett Mellina and my builder
Michael LaFoy for taking the time
to make this article possible and
building great homes for first
responders in the Houston area.
