I really like what you did to the place mate. Looks really good. I love the kitchen especially. I bet the wife loves it too. I also like what you did with the old kitchen cupboards. Brilliant idea instaling them in the garage. I helped a friend rip out his old kitchen and never thought of doing that with the cupboards. Anyway we had tons of fun smashing them with 10lb sledge hammers. LOL.

I could never get motivated to do that kind of work. For what ever reason I just don't like remodeling. I am the type of guy to smash everything with a hammer and start fresh. I built my first house. Did lot of the final work my self like tiling, painting, layed down the floorboads,concreting around the backyard and the driveway, all the garden beds.......... When I split with my ex and had to sell the place I was pretty shattered. All that work and I didn't even get a chance to properly enjoy and appreciate it. My curerent hose I just bought brand new from a builder. Paid a little more but the only seat I broke was moving in. Yeah, I guess you could call me lazy.

Anyway just registered with UE forum. Is it any good?

Yea I don't know what to say about that anymore. The site is still in operation, but the owner has pretty much abandoned the place. He pops in once in a while and makes comments on threads, and there are still a few items in his store selling, but other than that he is a sleep at the wheel. There is nothing new coming out of the store and he seems to have pretty much given up on doing much of anything for his customers these days. He even opened a thread last April asking for suggestions about parts requests that he should get back into production and sell, but nothing ever came of it. He did make a short run just before that of setback arms, and high impact arms, and he got supershocks and shock parts back in stock. After that things seemed to go dead. We can only guess that the response was not what he was hoping it would be money wise.

He moved to a new location last summer, and started sharing photos of the move with everyone on the site including the new shop, his new house and remodels project, and even pics of a site where he was going to build a new R/C track on his property. We don't know if he got hurt, ran out of money, or got sick, but everything just went quiet around June or July of last year. I have tried to provoke him to pop in and share with us whats going on, but he just ignores any questions about the prospect of any future for his business. The only reason he even still has a forum is because he once made some of the best R/C gear in the business, and we would all love to see him going strong again. If not for that hope I think he would have closed up shop a long time ago. If Traxxas treated people the way he does no one would buy anything from them. Its the engineering design, and quality of the UE parts that have kept UE afloat this long. I love UE products, and I really do enjoy the UE site and the people on there, but from a business standpoint it sucks. I kind of feel sorry for the business, because it is really great stuff, but if you ignore your customers there isn't much hope for a future.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
