The Victoria Man with a Plan for Your Old Sofa | The Tyee Meet Elwyn Thom, the 23-year-old founder of Recertified Furniture.

For more than three years, Elwyn Thom has collected furniture destined for the dump, fixing it up and reselling the pieces at a discounted price.

In December, I visited his storefront to learn why.

Check out my latest in the Tyee:
