  OK...So it's moving day and you have a moving truck and hopefully movers. A few things to remember: 1)  If you're going to be doing any moving - even if it's just one thing, be sure your back is warmed up first. 2)  Let the professionals handle the larger or more awkward items. 3)  Cold Compress or Ice Packs help - if you managed to get a sore back, place it on your back for 10 minutes every hour, or until the pain subsides.  From one I understand, you should NOT put ice on your back for longer than ten minutes at a time. **DEFINITELY, SEEK THE MEDICAL OPINION AND ADVICE FROM YOUR MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.  I am NOT A Medical Professional and have no CREDENTIAL to offer the advice to TREAT ANY MEDICAL CONDITION.**   Just hang in there, Baby! If you're a bit sore or overwhelmed from movin... 08/06/2013

What does this mean for home Rancho Cucamonga home values? The recent increase in home prices this past year have been mainly due to low inventory and low interest rates.
