About me
Hello, my name is Lenny. Welcome to my website about appliance restoration. Upon buying my first home, I decided to install a washer, dryer and dishwater. Unfortunately, I could not afford these items brand new, so I sought out ones that were used and in need of repair. I learned how to restore appliances from acquiring these items and fixing them up in my basement. I want to teach others how to perform this task on their own to help appliances stay in circulation for even longer than they do now. Please feel free to stop by any time for information about appliance restoration tools, parts and techniques.
