I doubt that you would get more work by getting fancier with your
website, fancy doodle dandy is hardly uppermost in folks' minds
when they have washing machines on them. But this is no veiled
criticism. The look of your site actually appeals to me (and I
get quite emotional about washing machines.). I have bookmarked
it and will surely be in touch one day.
I have kept a front-loader going for more years than most can
drink schooners in a day. For more on this you will have to wait
till I write something of the history of this beast. Actually,
perhaps you could have a blog or place on your site for folks'
experiences...
