It’s Time to Shovel!!!
February 29, 2012
Did you know that one shovel full of wet snow can weight up to 25lbs?? How many shovel fulls does it take to clear your drive way? Do the answers to these questions sounds like a workout comparable to your work out routine? We are sure they do! Today the South Lake Tahoe Real Estate Group, with great tips from The Fit Doctor, would like to give you some advice to prepare your body for shoveling your drive way!
- First give your body a quick warm up! Maybe some jumping jacks or quick spin on a stationary bike.
- Stretch the muscles in your lower back, hamstrings and shoulders. Remember to hold your stretch for at least 30-90 seconds.
- It good to avoid drinking your coffee until you are done shoveling.
- When shoveling, make sure your footing is solid and you are bending at your hips and legs.
- Keep your shovelfuls light and don’t twist with a full shovel. This will generate torque on the spine.
- Give yourself a reasonable amount of time to clear your drive way. Consider your fitness level!
- Purchase two good large shovels, one for scooping and one for plowing.

Beware South Lake Tahoe!
October 23, 2011
Something didn’t smell right, and it certainly wasn’t carbon monoxide.
Alert constituents and an inquisitive state senator’s office apparently halted a mail scam attempting to con homeowners, based on a new state law requiring carbon monoxide alarms.
The scam was apparently run from a post office box directly across the street from the state Capitol, where lawmakers last year passed SB 183, which requires the alarms as a way to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning deaths.
“It’s absolutely brazen,” said Mark Spannagel, chief of staff for state Sen. Doug LaMalfa, R-Richvale, who said about a dozen constituents reported receiving letters asking them to send $76 in order to comply with the law and avoid a possible fine. LaMalfa’s district covers parts of Placer, Yuba and Nevada counties.
The letters, from the so-called Housing and Safety Association, began appearing in mailboxes late last week. The sender’s address: a postal box in a mailbox center on L Street.

The South Lake Tahoe Real Estate Group urges all South Lake Tahoe home owners to inform themselves on this issue.
