Problem Solved ~

By Rod Haynes:
It was approximately three years ago when a kind lady and her daughter came into HomePro with a big problem concerning their swimming pool. Apparently an out of town company had installed the pool as their beautiful new home was being built. Shortly thereafter the problem started raising it’s ugly head. It was first noted when it became apparent that the pool was losing water. Then the liner started coming loose. The problem continued to escalate to the degree that the pool became completely inoperable. She tried to get the original company to come out to remedy the problem but to no avail. So she and her daughter came into HomePro to seek a solution to, by then a three year old problem. After studying the problem, the HomePro professionals recommended that the concrete surrounding the pool be jack hammered out of there and a new fiber glass pool of approximately the same size be lowered down into her old pool. After concrete was poured around the new pool, the problem was solved. The customer is very happy about her pool, for the first time in three years.

HomePro Retaining Walls

By Rod Haynes:
Approximately two years ago there was an elderly couple who lived in a very nice home on a bluff overlooking the beautiful Spring River near Riverton, Kansas. Unfortunately that spring they received over six inches of rain in a very short amount of time. The deluge of water that was running around both sides of their home was so severe as it cascaded toward the river that it completely washed away the stair step railroad tie retaining wall system. This not only ruined their beautiful landscaping layout, but it also left the foundation in a jeopardized situation which could have led to destabilizing the house structure itself. This couple, who were in a panic mode, came into Home Pro eagerly wanting to know what could be done before more damage might ensue upon their property. Home Pro immediately sent representatives out there to survey the damage and devise a plan for the solution. What ended up happening after a huge clean up effort was a stone terracing system which started down close to the river and progressed upward towards the house. Massive amounts of fill dirt were hauled into the project along with a beautifully manicured concrete stairway system. When the job was over there was a very grateful as well as very relieved couple.

Time Flies!

By Fred Tullis:
HomePro sponsored this Carl Junction Baseball Team in 1995. Two of my four sons are on the team, Joel who is 22 years old now, (3rd from the left on the front row) and Christian who is 23, (3rd from the right on the front row). Christian works here at HomePro. He's in our FastLane Sales Department and also manages our inventory. This picture hangs on our "Wall of Fame" inside the store. Sometimes I catch a glimpse in passing and the same thought comes to mind, "man time flies!"
