The three prices you pay, the price you told her you paid, the price you paid, and the price you’re going to pay when she finds out how much you really paid. Lol

[@gregprince2523]

priceless!!!

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

I remember when Melissa lost her ear buds ! Gets another pair, Mike asked on camera, "How much were those?" Melissa without skipping a beat, says, " only Twenty bucks" !!!!

[@richardpedersen9189]

HA!! 🤣

[@davidhibbs5114]

Melissa’s sense of humor is the absolute best!! You guys are awesome.

I LOVE uline! I look at their catalogue and drool when I see their selection of rolling shop carts.....🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@dougfrye7775]

I worked with U-Line while working, and have continued since retiring in 2005. They do indeed have great and knowledgeable Customer Service representatives. Melissa's personality continues to be contagious and uplifting!!

[@stevecraig3004]

U-line has long been the gold standard for a vast array of business supplies.

[@davidjackman5773]

A neighbor "gifted" us a U-Line ice maker a few years back. They are quite expensive, but they are commercial quality through and through and the customer service is off the charts. I needed a part a couple times and both times the lady that answered the phone knew exactly what we were working with after giving her the model number. She was looking a parts list exactly like the one I had, she knew what I needed and we got it two days later. Both experiences with U-LIne were absolutely positive. Five stars for sure.

[@onenuttybuddy]

Melissa is a hoot. Uses of the wire crates, "and on days when Levi has to bring the kids to work with him, this works well too. Just put the kids right in there and just close it up!" And Mike with, I think you can get these with a top too, so they can't get out! I love it!!

[@Jundt22]

Mike, I hope those crates are comfortable. Hopefully Uline sent a comfy pillow because based on Melissa’s face when she found out that the price was accurate, you may end up sleeping in one for a bit of time 😉🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@nancybrown2700]

Yay, then hook them together on castors and pulled by the side-by-side, and you've got a Morgan Manner choo-choo train! A few led lights, and it could be a holiday hay ride for children and pets, with Hunter wearing the caboose man's hat coming up in the rear!

[@peterwolf2497]

Those collapsible cages are brilliant, they're worth their money ,Melissa will find a few uses for the cages that Mike hadn't thought of .

[@rogerbamatutz1927]

Those really nice. Look like they can take a beating too. Melissa, you looked great.

[@Laughinghawg]

Mike/Melissa, when you pull the bladders out of the totes you should consider cutting 'panels' out of the plastic sides/top/bottom. Then zip tie the 'panel' to the metal frame to help minimize pieces 'ooching' out of the totes. It will also assist when you are 'pouring/shaking/bouncing' the wood into the dump trailer for a delivery. Have a great day!

[@stevebradley7690]

Mike. Those baskets brought back old memories. I worked 30 years in the printing business and we used those baskets to stack small cartons in that were too small for pallets. We would stack the baskets 4 high. Thanks for sharing

[@hopeherefords8122]

Thanks guys! Always a pleasure

[@upandadam9080]

Thanks for the shout out Mike! Those cages are gonna work great for the fire starter! (And the kids 🤣)

Melissa, you are too funny ! I love that you immediately went to the idea of the playpen. Every other idea from that point on was priceless. Maybe one for Mike?

[@johncrishock9317]

Mike,I loved Melissa’s face when you stated the $365 price tag for each, that was priceless. You guys are a cute couple. God bless you and your family.

[@frankwilliams1157]

You two are hilarious with the endless ideas you have for the new crates you bought.

[@larrydurkee5741]

We dealt with U-line for all of our packaging, pallet wrap, plastic bags etc while we had our business here in Ontario. They were a joy to work with and delivery times were amazing. Those collapsible bins look handy.🇨🇦

Back a few years ago canning lids were not to be found anywhere. I placed an order with Uline and they were here the next day! Great customer service and rapid delivery!!

I agree pallet forks and jack, I use both.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

I started my firewood business with wire baskets. I wss leaving the scrap yard and someone coming in had 25 on his truck and I told him that I'll buy all of them for 25 each. Talk about good timing!

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

That is awesome

[@MikeZMonroe]

In the 1970’s I worked for a steel office furniture manufacturing company. The wire storage baskets were used almost exclusively for part movement, storage and used for degreasing. Baskets full of oily coated fabrications were dunk into degreasing baths. Those baskets will last forever. Btw - they can be stacked four high.

[@davidlambert2537]

Mrs. M looking great !!!!

[@carrier08]

Melissa’s facial expression when she heard the price couldn’t be hid. Her sense of humor on what could be put in the cages 😂. Mike you and Melissa are doing us all a great service sharing your everyday life with us. Love watching from TN.

Gretel told Hansel to put a chicken bone through the cage when the hag (who couldn't see well) told him to put his finger through the cage. She was checking to see if he was big enough to roast in the oven. Don't know if that was one of the original Grimm's Fairytale stories. From a Minnesota Fairytale lover. Happy Holidays All!

I had twin sons, & one son was always climbing out of the playpen & the walker stroller. I told my husband that I was going to buy another playpen & zip tie them together like a cage so my son won't climb & stay put. And YES Melissa it would look like Hansel & Gretel, I get IT !!!

The post office has similar cages on wheels like that. Theirs are more of a heavy gauge steel. Both of the sides are exactly the same as how yours comes down.

[@michaelboyd9433]

Dang Mike when you first showed that basket I got flashbacks... I worked in carpet mills down here in north Georgia and the same baskets are used to put cones of yarn in and as a lift truck operator we would have to stack them in our warehouse and I found out pretty quick that when you sit one on top of another before you back out make sure that all 4 legs are lined up correctly especially when you are stacking 2 on top of another they do not like to be tripods and another thing that you use that is common in a carpet industry is your geo textile roll it's the same thing as primary backing for carpet its what the yarn is sewn into and you might could even get it cheaper by ordering from the manufacturer they are different types with different sizes of the weave and you can even get it in white and make you some roll up wind walls for your pavilion it comes up to 15'6" wide if you would like more information about it let me know

Hi Mike I’ve used those industrial parts bins for years for my firewood splits. I move them with my Kubota tractor and forks. I think I have 14 now and they will get my through a full winter. I bought mine in St Louis, Mo. which is 90 miles west of me. A company there has lots of used pallet racking and these wire containers. Most of mine are 48”x48”x48” but I have one taller. They are great and if you find them used they are much cheaper

Hi Mike! Merry Christmas! I have 6 of these. Bought 2 at auction for $40 each, found a guy later that sold me 4 more for $50 each. He got them from a food manufacturer who cooked crab in them. I see them a lot at auction and on craigslist. 6 baskets hold about 1 cord without stacking, I suspect if I stacked neatly they would hold almost twice as much, but the reason I bought them is so I wouldn't have to stack; straight from the splitter to the basket.
