MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy Holidays from Henry Poor Lumber, Home Works at Henry Poor, and Flooring Express

Taking On Challenges Together
As a team of friends, family, employees, neighbors and suppliers the Henry Poor family was able to overcome a number of challenges, both personal and professional, in 2011. Opening Flooring Express in a new location on November 1, and moving our Home Works at Market Square store into our Henry Poor location at Concord and Brady Lane, took the cooperation of many, many people. Throughout my own personal challenge of dealing with cancer, I was truly refreshed by the outpouring of prayers, calls, cards and e-mails I received from so many friends. Your kindness and concern were overwhelming and I’m thankful to currently be in remission.

Our Family Is Growing
The Andrew family was also blessed with two new members to our ever expanding family. Finley (Jay and Michelle’s daughter) arrived at the end of May and Meredith (Tom and Sarah’s daughter) joined us in June. Keep them coming, what amazing bundles of joy!

Remembering Our Troops
We continue to pray for those serving our country in the armed forces who won’t be home for Christmas and for their tremendous sacrifices they continue to make to keep us out of harm’s way.

Supporting Our Neighbors
The Henry Poor companies will continue to support our many local charities as they reach out to those who are in need in these challenging economic times. The Community Cancer Network, YMCA, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, Food Finders Back Pack Program for Tippecanoe County Schools, and the Bauer Community Center’s Book Cycle have all received our dollars and many volunteer hours this past year. We would encourage everyone to continue to give of your time and support to those who need an extra hand throughout the year.

Our Christmas Wish To You
At this special time of year we are reminded of how special our family and friends are to us. Keep them close and don’t hesitate to share a warm hug. They are always needed and at times in short supply, so keep plenty in your personal inventory — they are priceless. It is with these thoughts and reflections that we would like to wish you and your family a very special Christmas and many blessings to come to you in 2012.

Spring is a Great Time to Remodel!!!!

Remodeling Advice from the Experts
Remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, family room or outdoor deck can be a great way to improve the quality of your living space and enhance your home’s value.  But before getting started, it is important to follow a few time tested steps.

NARI Remodeling Tips
The National Association of the Remodeling Industry has some tips that will help you avoid many of the common pitfalls of remodeling projects.

  • Be creative. There are often multiple solutions to accomplish a design objective, some more expensive than others. Discuss various options with your contractor.
  • Choose neutral colors in fixtures, appliances and laminates. They are less expensive initially and won’t look dated when the color trends change.
  • Good floor covering is important. It ties one room to another and provides visual consistency. Familiarize yourself with the prices of the various flooring materials to make the best decision for your home.
  • Examine how you are utilizing space. You may be able to steal some space from a neighboring room or closet.

You’ll find NARI’s complete list of remodeling tips at NARI Remodeling Tips.  More great ideas can also be found in REMODELING magazine.

Henry Poor and Home Works Have the Products You Need
At Henry Poor and Home Works we have products that will make every remodeling project a success.  This includes windows, doors, lumber, cabinets, counter tops, flooring and all the materials you’ll need to complete the job.

Helpful Advice From Your Local Experts
Not sure where to start?  Our knowledgeable associates can offer design assistance and advice on which materials and products will work best for you.  We’ll provide guidance and suggestions on how to complete your remodeling project so it is done right and within your budget.

Contact Us before starting your next remodeling project.  We’ll be happy to answer your questions and help make your project a success.
