3 considerations for protecting your RV

If you own an RV, you can relate: How can something that causes so much joy and freedom while it’s in use demand such attention and stress when it’s at rest? An RV that isn’t being used takes up a ton of space and is a common target for vandalism. Depending on where you park it, it may also fall victim to everything from the weather to restrictive HOA covenants.

How can something that brings so much joy in use cause so much stress at rest?

If you don’t have a lot of property and a specially built RV garage, the team at Affordable Self Storage recommends considering the following factors to make sure you are protecting your investment.

• Security: RVs are a frequent target for vandalism and break-ins when kept out in the open. Consider using a storage company. Affordable Self Storage utilizes high fences, gated access and video surveillance to protect your investment, and even has large, locked indoor storage units customized for RVs.

• Freeing up space: Even if there are not HOA restrictions on RVs at your home, the large size of RVs easily cuts into home storage, curb appeal and often limits parking and maneuverability for other vehicles. Specially designed storage solves all of these problems, and it is more affordable than you might think — particularly if you are only looking for outdoor parking options similar to what would be provided by your driveway.

• Weather: Exposure to the elements is a threat to anything left outdoors in the Inland Northwest. If you are serious about maximizing the protection of your investment, consider a super-sized unit. Affordable Self Storage leases 45 to 60-foot indoor units with access to power and lighting.

Unlike many solutions offered for RVs, Affordable Self Storage was actually designed with RV owners in mind — all the way down to having an RV dump available for customers. The nearby locations in Otis Orchards and on Sullivan offer a wide range of options for RVs, from indoor units boasting 14-foot high doors to closely monitored outside parking.

A more comfortable pregnancy for expecting moms

The team at Valley OBGYN has cared for thousands of expecting moms in 35 years serving the Liberty Lake and Spokane Valley communities. While no two pregnancies are the same, following are some basic tips to improve comfort from common issues from the doctors of Valley OBGYN.

  1. Nausea: Get up slowly, and eat a few unsalted crackers before getting out of bed. More frequent, smaller meals help, as does drinking water with lemon slices.
  2. Fatigue: Get regular exercise, take catnaps when you can, and — by all means — accept help from others.
  3. Mood swings: Talk about your feelings with others, including other mothers. Limit sweets and caffeine while maintaining a healthy diet of regular meals.
  4. Headaches: Fresh air, exercise, relaxation, rest — and repeat. Check with your health care provider before taking pain medications.
  5. Heartburn: Smaller, lighter meals throughout the day helps, as does sleeping with your upper body raised 6 inches. Don’t lie down until two hours after you eat.
  6. Constipation: Eat high-fiber foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water and get regular exercise.
  7. Breast care: Avoid alcohol or using harsh soaps, which cause excessive dryness. Wear nursing bras, as they provide extra support and can also be used after pregnancy if you choose to breastfeed.
  8. Adequate sleep: Take a warm shower before bed, and sleep on a firm mattress. Position pillows to support arms, legs and belly, and lie on your side with one leg crossed over the other.

Fredrick offers track record as differentiator

Laurie and Eric Peterson admitted to being a bit intimidated when hiring their Realtor. They wanted the best, but they realized the home they were selling wasn’t a luxury, high-priced listing.

After all, their Realtor was Pam Fredrick with John L. Scott in Liberty Lake. She leads Liberty Lake, Spokane Valley and the surrounding area in exclusive marketing and sales of Luxury Homes and is consistently rated as one of Spokane’s “Top 10 Producers.”

“We were concerned that our listing would not get much attention due to the lower commission that the sale would produce,” the Petersons admitted. “Pam assured us she gave the same high-quality, personal service to all her clients, regardless of commission potential. Wow, was she right! Pam did an exemplary job of marketing and selling our home. The service we received was so prompt and personal it often felt as if we were Pam’s only clients.”

Pam’s approach is one of relationship building and walking her clients through each step of the home buying/selling process.

“In my opinion, a long track record of success is exactly what a buyer or seller should be looking for — not something they should be intimidated by,” she said. “Many factors influence the sale of your property; hiring an experienced, dedicated and hardworking Realtor is the most important. I continually provide the best possible marketing and customer service to ensure your property gets the attention it deserves.”

In my opinion, a long track record of success is exactly what a buyer or seller should be looking for — not something they should be intimidated by.

Realtor Pam Fredrick

Fredrick has lived in the area for more than 30 years and worked as a Realtor for 21 years. She has successfully earned the “Realtor Excellence Award” for the past 15 years and is a member of the 17 Million Dollar Club. She has also earned the Prestigious Top 1% Designation, and the “Presidential Elite” Award from John L. Scott consecutively for the last 16 years. The Spokane Association of Realtors has awarded her with the exclusive membership in the Residential Top 10 for the years 2003-2018. Currently, Fredrick is ranked as the No. 1 listing and selling agent in Liberty Lake and Spokane Valley and is top 5 in Spokane County for residential re-sale.
