Hey everyone,
Hope you’re all doing well and keeping busy. I decided it was time to start posting about my repair endeavors. I mainly have stuck to doing electronics recycling and small kitchen appliance repair (microwaves and such). However, I have expanded into doing major appliances for recycling/repair. Why would I do that? Money, time, and accessibility. Montana is a large state with cities being super spread out. Our closest major city is 150 miles one way. That means that sourcing electronics far away is an expensive challenge. I’m not getting out of ewaste, but I’ve wanted to play, I mean repair, appliances for several years, but just didn’t have the time. Well, you make time for what’s important to you and increasing my income is becoming important.
We broke ground on building a house last June and have had things become more expensive than expected with increased delays too. We spent the bulk of last year trying to get someone to do our concrete (something that was very difficult because of how far out of town we are). To make a long story shorter, we found a company 2 weeks ago and am going full steam ahead on concrete/other projects. Additionally, we are trying to do this project without loans so a buffer of cash is essential.
Now on to what this thread is going to be about:
I get a lot of broken things in for recycling. Many of which are beyond repair. However, a solid 25% of what comes in can be repaired and sold for money. This thread will focus on what repairs I do each week. Some weeks it will be microwaves, other weeks it will be TV’s. You never know what’s going to come in for recycling/repair!
