"Been a few years now. It’s been a constant stubble since day 1. They were late. I took the day off. Sprinklers are almost ALL to low for my grass height. I constantly have to monitor the system as I have heads not popping up consistently. I then have to go dig them up and take out the pressure regulator valve which part of what makes the i20 hunters cost more in the first place. Technicians have been a few times in the first year putting bandaids on things and showing me how to fix them. I don’t bother calling them anymore as I know they are not going to come raise all the sprinklers or put 6in heads on them. Multiple sprinklers don’t sit straight in the ground either which is another fight on its own. All in all I would never do it again with this company. The staff and secretary were great with me. Workers were friendly just not good at rhere job except the lead tech who was the only one who spoke partial English also which made it even harder. Feel free to ask me about the rest of the problems if you wish."

My name is Thad Reeder. My wife, Christina and I have lived in Vicksburg for about ten years now and LOVE this town! We were drawn here by the school system and the small town feel of Vicksburg. I have fond memories of coming to the car show with my father as a kid, and enjoy that now with my kids. We are heavily involved with a local Church and VCS. We provide complete automotive and truck diagnostics and repair. Anything from oil changes to Advanced diagnostics on those tricky problems that other shops can't seem to fix! 25 years of experience ensures that we can handle almost any problem you may have. Thad's History: My automotive career started at a very young age working in the garage with my Father. At about age fourteen, I started working with him at Reeder's Relics, building Street rods and restoring antique cars. After graduating High school in 1989 from Galesburg-Augusta, I went to Ferris State University where I graduated with high marks with a degree in Applied Sciences through their world class Automotive program. I began working for Otto Kihm Auto Service in 1991. After four years, I was recruited by Auto Analyst to be a Diagnostic tech (where I met the girl of my dreams, Christina! I am blessed to have a wife that loves cars and big trucks as much, if not more than I do!). Another four years passed and I went to work for a small independent shop. In 1999, I became the lead diagnostic and service technition at Kendall auto where I worked for fourteen years. After much planning and prayer, we decided it was time to open Thad Reeder Automotive! We strive to deliver quality, honest service at a fair price and would love to earn your business and more importantly, your trust. please call us to set up an appointment, or if you have a question. please feel free to stop in anytime and check us out!

"I sought an estimate to replace an awful cartridge filter (for a 22,000-gallon inground pool!!) with a DE filter, which I know is much more efficient, having had an inground pool and DE filter in the past. SMPPros did not install the pool or the cartridge filter. At the time I assumed a DE filter was going to be installed but was not. These terrible cartridge filters work for small Intex pools because you can throw them away but, in my opinion, no way for an inground pool. I received several estimates, and Dale Traister's was very reasonable. I scheduled for the install, chose my DE filter from SMPool Pros (they had it in stock--professional business), and Duane promptly came out and installed it. He also had to replumb because it was quite large and needed to be fit into the existing plumbing. It was quite a job. Duane did an excellent job. We absolutely love this DE filter; the pool has been spotless all summer even in 95-degree heat. We also have a heater so the pool is quite warm. We have not even had to backwash it once because no algae! He will be opening and closing my pool in the future. I am so happy with this filter; do not hesitate to use Southern Michigan Pool Pros. Very professional and conscientious. The previous filter did not keep my pool clean; it was always green and full of chemicals which did not work. The new DE filter cleaned up the pool within a day, and it has been amazing all summer long with only minimal chlorine tabs. Thank you, Duane!!"

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

Mesh and tempered glass are both very safe pool fencing options because they’re difficult to climb. You might also want to consider installing a pool safety net, and always make sure your pool is maintained properly. You could even consider a swimming pool enclosure that surrounds the pool on all sides.

If you live in an area where pool enclosures are expected, like in Florida, having one won't necessarily increase your home value. However, it's worth noting that in warm climates, a pool can add $11,600 to $95,000 to a home's value. 

On the other hand, if you're in an area where pool enclosures are not common, having one might set your home apart from the crowd. Depending on the appraiser, you may see an additional $25,000 to $27,000 or more for an enclosed, inground pool when it comes time to sell.

Check with your local laws, which might state that you have to build a fence around your plunge pool. If you have children or pets or live in an area with abundant wildlife, you should consider building a fence around your pool for safety. Pools can present a drowning hazard, and while plunge pools are not very deep, younger children can get hurt if they try to dive into them. A fence can help protect your family and visitors from injury.

Each state has its own regulations about pool fences, and laws to protect both swimmers and pool owners. Before installing a pool, you’ll need to research what the pool laws in your state, city, and county are to ensure that you’re adhering to the legal regulations. Inground pools typically need to have a fence around the entirety of them, but the rules regarding above-ground pools are less stringent. A good rule of thumb is to always have a fence around your pool to ensure safety for all. 

The life span of a screen on a pool cage depends on the material used:

  • Fiberglass screens last from 10 to 15 years.

  • Aluminum screens last 15 to 20 years.

  • Polyester screens last 20 to 30 years.

  • Stainless steel screens last 30 years or more.
