I just have to say … what a transformation! Not from shed to warehouse, not the business with room to grow. It’s you! From the fear and doubts and huge life changes … to hear you say you’re proud of yourself and you’re “excited” about the next chapter. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much xxx
... ♥️ ...
Hope everything is ok missing your posts.
Ask the BIG Shed owner (Tom was it ?) If the tap has an outside shut-off valve to prevent ANY water getting inside the building
I will do that!
You should be very proud of yourself. You have grown tremendously. You are amazing. Take it easy on yourself especially since you have been sick
Thank you Linda!
You could always hook a hose to that tap and run it out of the shelves into a bucket on the floor beneath. That way if it does leak and you don't notice it right away it'll get it away from the books.
*great suggestion*
Exactly!
I was about to say the same but you beat me to it 👍
Agree
Just found your channel. I’m hooked! I have small percentage of books in my inventory. Trying to expand that area. Love your videos. What happened to your leg???? Oh my. Best of luck.
HEY MEL, not sure if you will see this message. Haven't seen a new video in a while, just wondering how things are going getting the warehouse set up. Also wondering how you are doing. I hope you are doing fabulous and having a great day. I am sure you are SUPER BUSY, looking forward to seeing your next video and how the warehouse is looking.
Congratulation with your new shed i mean warehouse. See you as a real seller. You are. I'm proud of you. When i get the key to my apartment, i will hang up my curtins as the first. Take my tools with me, so it's easy to do. I will then take my computers and and TV''s. You are so great. I don't care if you have OCD or other things. I think your store/warehouse will be the worlds cleanest. LOL Please make a collection with spiders. Dead or alive. It would be you 100% I have seen this video 3 times. Cant get enough.
I just love your personality. So proud of you and your business. You give me hope. Keep up the good work
Thank s for watching me Karen, I appreciate it!
Missing ur smiling face 😊have not seen any more videos since watching this one, r u okay.😮😮.
Bunnings warehouse is commonly known as the big green shed
Head there and you can buy a cap for the tap , its prob 3/4 inch , cap it off and no worries about leaks
Mel: For the "Tap"... My recommendation, and I believe the safest to protect against potential water damage = I believe I saw that the tip of the spigot/tap was threaded (like a hose would screw onto it). If true, buy and install a dead end threaded cap, screw it on with cheap white plumbers tape - for a secure fit. My 2-cents. Best wishes and keep charging. You're an inspiration to us.
Thank you for the tip I will look to see if I can fit one of those!!
Hi Mel! I'm an ebayer in the US and have followed you for about a year. SO JELLY that books do well in Australia .. I would love to niche in books!! Instead it's jewelry, plush & a little of everything else for me.
A tip for spiders - they don't like bleach or peppermint. In warm months I diffuse peppermint oil in my garage to keep them away. It may not be feasable to do in the warehouse as the books will absorb the peppermint odor, but you might try swabbing bleach all along the door frame and the back side of the door with a string mop every couple or three weeks.
You've done SO AMAZING and you should ABSOLUTELY be proud of yourself!! You are such an inspiration! Now grab hold of yer boot straps girlie 'cause I bet business is gonna accelerate in that new space!!
I am also jelly, LOL. The time when Mel comped a Tom Michener book, I think it was Texas, and it came back around $30, I nearly fell off my seat. It may not be this way forever. Take advantage of every resource; list and list some more; and get some help to list even more. Honestly, I am amazed at how long this opportunity has lasted.
Where do you get your shelving and how much do they cost please/
Bunnings. $54
You should be very proud of yourself your business has grown exponentially since you started while taking care of your family.. it is looking fantastic in your WAREHOUSE.
Thank you!
Mel sing it loud & proud! You should be so freaking proud of yourself!!! You're doing an amazing job, so many huge changes in your life and business and you just buckle down and get it done! Can't wait to continue following your journey as you continue to grow into your new warehouse space! xox
The warehouse is looking great but i can guarantee that in 12 months you will be running out of space!!
The new space looks amazing Mel, well done! Love the trolley cam too :-)
I love the trolley!
Mel - you're making good progress & have a good plan for it. As far as a shower... shrink-wrap your bandaged leg. Also... remember to PUSH your trolley not PULL it (will save your achilleas). Luv your vids!
LOL, shrink wrap your leg like you shrink wrap your bundles!
It's nice that you have those fellows across the way to keep you company at work. It's nice to have that little social circle.
So true! It really makes a difference having others close by that also do the same line of work and understand exactly what I'm doing and can help if need be.
I would check the weight rating on the shelves before adding more height to them. Don't want them to collapse on you! The space is looking good though! Excited to see how much you grow!
200kg per shelf.
That is something to consider and I may even have to look into alternative shelving as I grow.
Thank Paul.
Always love your sense of humor!! keep it up you are doing great.
Thank you!
So awesome to watch this come together!! I would love to organize my new space...it's something I happen to thrive on, anyway...looking great!!! One day I'll have my warehouse....one day.
Surely Bunnings could deliver the extra shelves to you, if you ordered them online (?)
My Dad picks up all spiders in his bare hands and carries them outside! But I use a glass… especially for the red backs! 🕷
Eeeeek, I could never touch a spider like that. I have shivers thinking about it.
Your videos are inspiring 🎉
Warehouse, Warehouse, Warehouse 🎉😂
I am retraining my brain as fast as I can lol
The tap looks like it has a thread on the spout....you should be able to buy a screw on cap for it at Bunnings ...then you won't have to worry about dripping at all or taking up space with a bucket.
Those shelves don't like being moved, but they get loads stronger when you bolt or even cable tie them to the one next to and behind them. I had them in my old place.
This is very good information *****
A second trolly would be good as you say, and also you need a decent step ladder for getting up to the top shelves! With the height in your executive shed, you could install a mezzanine floor LOL. That water tap looks like it might have a screw thread on it, if so you could buy a threaded bung from the DIY store! It's all looking good, making progress Mel !! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the next video !!
I like step stools, you can sit on them, use them to put stuff on as you get the stuff behind and just high enough to get to the top of the shelves when you stand on them
🎉 Thanks for sharing ❤
Amazing!! You're like the Energizer bunny, you keep going and going...😁
You've got this, and I love seeing the fierceness return. Truly inspiring
Sticky traps. diatomaceous earth helps too. It’s a fine powder.
You may need dehumidifiers if you have rainy season.
I’m so proud of you. GREAT JOB!!
Oh my goodness...when Tom honked the horn on the forklift...my dogs when crazy thinking something is going on outside hahahaha
Great work, love!! 💗Told ya that you'd feel like a queen with all that space 😀
I thought Thom would have at least unpacked all the books for you! 😂 Space looks amazing Mel 🎉🎉
Please scold him next time you zoom with him 🤣🤣🤣
You're so amazing Mel, I'll say it in every video to remind you :) Absolutely spot on about feeling that sense of accomplishment & achievement you have earned it! I'm so happy for you! I'll say for me, you're helping me to stay strong through some challenges I'm having right now by seeing your perseverance & determination, I'm the same way but at times challenges can be overwhelming & defeat feeling for moments. Thanks again for being such a source of inspiration!! :) That trolley is so adorable!!! lol what fun!! :)
From the dining room table to a warehouse, look how far you have come. And you know you have made it to the big time when you work so hard you sweat and stink. 😆 Congratulations !
So exciting!
Thank you!
It’s looking awesome Mel. You’re living my dream ! When you were saying about the boxes dropping on your head it reminded me of the other day. I was in the thrift shop and it was stacked to the brim and I was looking at the books and a lampshade fell on my head! 😂
This is so amazingly well done! You are truly an entrepreneur miss.
Regards from Sweden
I watched the video and I want to make a few comments and ask a few questions. Do you have adequate lighting? Do you have heat and a/c? I think you should pick up some fans. I don't know the best type of fans for this kind of space, but certainly not those jumbo powerful ones that sound like an airplane starting up. I personally love those vertical fans, but I don't know how practical they'd be in this warehouse.
I've worked with pallets and boxes at one place and I can tell you from experience, don't load the boxes so high!!! You want them at working height. If you're not pulling books directly from the boxes, then you can move the entire box on to your trolley and then roll it to its final destination. You never want a box stacked over your head or were you can't see the contents without standing on your toes or worse. If you can look down into the contents, that's the right height! When I saw the boxes loaded into the higher shelves of the bookcases, didn't you hear me screaming NOOOOOO!? You only have one back and your work involves a lot of physical activity. You must protect your back at all costs.
When I had a new space for whatever business it was, I always drew up a design plan. I can't draw for s*it, but I can use a ruler and draw a somewhat straight line. You need the actual dimensions of your work space, the dimensions of the shelves you're using, any tables you have for computer, photography, mailing, etc., stations, plus how many tables you want for putting books on that you have picked or want to show us, etc. Flat surfaces for new hauls and such. If you do that and always allow for more items then you think you'll have, you will be fine, and free of surprises.
I don't like the small distance between the shelves against the wall and the shelves facing them. This is something that could have been discovered during the design phase. How are you going to grab books from the bottom shelf? Maybe even the one above it? You're going to kill your back. How are you going to get down there and see what's going on? I think you need to have more space between those two and any others.
To deter spiders, you might keep some citrus scents, peppermint oils, eucalyptus, and the mighty vinegar, around the area, in abundance.
These are just some suggestions for you and feel free to take the ones that make sense to you. I'd rather you get a pair of roller skates to go from one end to the next, then have your shelves so close together. My first look at the warehouse when I saw how the shelves were placed, made me feel like the space was small. That's because of the closeness of the bookcases. This is your chance to spread out and make your fairly large space feel like a fairly large space. So, forget the roller skates comment and buy a library stool on castors. Maybe get a couple of them. If you do get them, get the ones where the castors are not exposed which can be a tripping hazard. The ones I am thinking of have the castors contained underneath Other than that, I think you will like them for working on low shelves and a way to scoot around. In the states, they go for around $70 on Amazon.
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you, but it can't hurt....get some good insurance for your inventory. Congratulations, Mel. You did it!! Now make it a safe, pest free space, and use the space to its greatest advantage. Function, function, function. BTW, I just looked up space between library shelves and it said 42 inches minimum. I'd be curious to know what it currently is in the warehouse.
I'm hoping you keep an area to back the car in so your books don't get wet when you're loading and unloading the car
Yep I can do that David :)
LOVE IT! In no time you will move into Tom's Warehouse and he has to move lol.... Go Wonder Woman!
Ha ha, move over Thom!
so fun! I wish I could resell in my own space for a living :) keep up the good work girl! P.S. fill up the sink with water. Get a mug or cup you can pour water over your head to wash you hair :D
You are excited and I am for you as well. Can't wait to see it grow and develop. So pleased for you.
Spiders are good luck! They mean big money is coming your way. 🥰🕸
I hope so! I'll take all the money spiders!
Wow, good job!👍👍👍
Thank you!
Bucket in a dish pan for any overflow if an accident happens. Make sure you can hear a drip, to call your attention to a problem. Also, buy shelves on wheels for easy movement.
Greetings from Texas (USA) =). I was wondering if you keep track of what books come from what source? Do you make more money from a particular source? Not asking for any deep trade secrets or anything....just some sourcing insight hopefully. =)
I would get a can of bug spray for the spiders.
100%. I' will spray the surfaces around my doors and computer especially!
Truth Hurts Aye....why hide genuine comments ?
Plenty of room for growth at the moment……..next minute…..
Such an amazing space! Definitely needing someone’s eviction notice lol spiders 😮. You’re super women & so much work😊. How lovely are the guys in the other warehouse - so kind.
They’re awesome. Thank you
Hey Mell, You are amazing! Thanks for taking vlogs to share with us your business journey! Congrats on the new Warehouse! What size padded mailers do you use? We have media mail here in the USA. It takes a while longer but should that be used to get the cheapest rate of shipping.. so that you can offer "free shipping"?
Thanks, Heather
Water Tap (Hose Bibb): unless you have plans to use it, most are threaded, so you can cap it with a screw on cap. Use a little Teflon tape or Pipe Dope to seal the threads too. If you are going to use it, add a short hose ran behind the shelves to a more convenient spot for filling buckets or jugs.
You are so dedicated!!! Keep up your positive attitude - it is so YOU!!!! The shed (oops) WAREHOUSE LOOKS A W E S O M E!!!!! YOU GO GURL!!!!
Thank you so much!
Mel your just gorgeous ❤
❤️❤️
I've got a question. How many times have you moved your eBay inventory before landing in the warehouse??
That's awesome needs a loft with reinforced shelves and a round spiral staircase.
I reckon Clax Cart should sponsor you, with the amount of times you have had their cart on your channel. Best of luck in your new space. Look forward to your next update.
I actually asked them (first time I’ve ever wanted to work with a company) and they said no :(
@@backfromburnout very un-Australian of them. Keep up the great content, love watching your journey ❤
I love books but I need to make some space. I don't know all the book sellers terminology - or any actually haha! Foxing is the brown spots or discoloring I think...
Anywho, I think you and Matt both have at least one video about that stuff, not sure how to find/revisit it though. Teach us?
Wow. I thought organizing and setting up my space was intimidating, but I don't know how you did it. But I would love the space to move around in. I will get there one day. Growing slow, so that I grow fast. Hope to see you in a call this week. I swear, we always make different calls. You're doing great, in everything. Hugs to the kids and you. And I can see you with one of those ladders on wheels.
You are so happy! I have nothing else to say except:
Is the roof of the warehouse separated from the wall at the b back end? It looks like a triangular opening. Ask if you can have a carpenter come in and seal things up. The roof above you especially don't want to leak through rivit holes. Is there a sealed roof above?
I am so excited for you! I'd !I've to come and walk your aisles to buy bokks, but since I am in the USA and not traveling much these days, I just do it vicariously, with great pleaasure.
How exciting to watch your business grow 😀
If you don't think you'll ever need to use that faucet, or "tap", you could ask your friend to turn off the water to your warehouse, so you know you'll never have a leak.
Mel it looks like that faucet has threads on it. Take a picture of it and measure the diameter of the threads across the opening. Take all that info over to the plumbing store and ask them for a cap for it and some teflon tape to put on the threads. It might take a couple pieces but I bet you can cap it and not have to worry about it with a bucket.
This is awesome I need to do this!
Mel regarding the faucet/tap as you Aussies say, lol, go to Home D or a hardware store and you can buy a cap that screws on. Just buy some plumbers tape. I’m sure one of the guys could come over but I’m sure you could figure it out. Just take a pic and bring it to the store with you. Someone will help you with the right size.
So much space Mel!! Amazing. 👏🏻 My favourite part was a good minute of you going through the alphabet 😂😂 Looking forward to seeing you grow in this warehouse.
I was thinking where have all the J books gone, lol. I had a shelf in the back room of the old shed that was full of non-book items and I had left "J" for that shelf incase I ever converted it to listed books lol
I laughed at that part also. She got hung up on “H-I…..H-I…..H-I…. I kept trying to help her out by saying J. J. J. 🤣
Goodness looks like you definitely could get a bunch more than just 4 shelves in there. Nice job!! 😊
Well done! Wishing you much success and happiness on this awesome journey you are on.
Mel, you’re amazing. Now time to go and Kick @$$.
Thanks for the videos. Just started watching you as I have been selling plush toys for many years and now trying to get into books. What is a good average price to pay for books? I know some people get for free and others a few dollars, but just wondering on average how much I can figure will be the cost of the books I sell.
Oh yes! Elevate! Make use of that vertical space! Woot!
You are incredible. More power to you. One question - what do you use as a photography station?
Wow that’s a lot of books. Did you put your eBay store on vacation mode for the move?
In 2037 Mel still will be talking about her shed :-) hahaha you're doing great! Please connect your shelfes to one eachother, for safety. Even some ty-rips will help
That's a good tip I will look into that!
Hi Mel! been watching your videos and rooting for you girl! you got this! You are so motivating! thank you.. its been weeks now since your last video. hope you are ok. look forward to the next video.. take care and hope your move goes smoothly.
Thank you! I have videos coming next week. I was very busy last week and I’m away for this entire week at an eBay conference. I’m doing well just busy after the move trying to find a new work flow
We need more Mel! Having withdraws not being able to see your progress videos! Hope you are doing well!
OMG you are amazing what a champion your are. What resilience and determination you have, just love you always have a smile your videos are so up beat, everybody that watches your channel surely feels uplifted after watching your struggles and they way you deal with them. You have come a long way and should be proud of yourself and your great achievements you deserve success. So excited for you future videos in your new warehouse and it is great to see the support you have from the warehouse owner and his co worker. As for the spider a big shoe is always handy haha. Hope your leg gets better soon. Take care stay safe Cheers Tricia.
Love in the new digs. You're doing good girl
Thank you!
Your shed has become Your Shop! Warehouse takes more energy to say 😂💓
When pipes are cold they will collect condensation. Wrap the pipe with foam
Thank you for a great tip. Would a pool noodle work?
WOW what a difference this will be for you! Looking forward to how you get this all put together, it's an amazing feeling!
Can't wait to get into my own warehouse! All in due time. :)
It will come faster than you think!
Dry shampoo if you can get it is great for those days you just can't get hair washed
Get a phone mount that goes on a bike handlebar so that you can mount it to your wagon when you’re videoing in your warehouse
You are doing a great job unpacking it looks great
Love your attitude and enthusiasm. Gives me a boost. Do a walk in somewhere and have your hair washed. It s what I did when my arm was in a cast. Best wishes
You could connect a hose to it and lead it back out side to keep the rodents out. I’d assume once they realize your moved in with all those tasty books.
mell that tap has a screw fitting in the end for connecting a hose you can buy a blanking cap that will screw over it and then if it ever leaks it will never come out of tap no need for bucket
buy a hose. hook it up to water spigot, and then run the hose to somewhere away from books. you could use it to clean hands or other stuff
YOU INSPIRED ME IM GOING TO START TO SELL BOOK IM WATCH YOU VIDEO ARE AMAZING
Congratulations, it’s looking great! ❤
So much work, but it's coming along and looking good. I wish I had that much space.
Yep that was the red back dangerous type. Good eye!
What a difference a little rolling cart, and warehouse can make!!!!😅🎉
It's the small things in life isn't it lol Who knew a cart to pick books would make me so happy ha ha
I was about to recommend getting a utility cart but it seems you've got that covered. Good show!
Yes! Thank you! I love this cart! It comes in so handy when I add the baskets to it and take it to the bookfairs.
I had that same thing when I went from giving private lessons to a rented space/classroom. I grew into a second classroom and created a shop. The same feeling was when I got the first person to work for me and when first person left and when I had to fire the first person. We now grew to team of 4, 139 students, 2 spaces, a shop and we survived pandemic. 8 years later I have a sustainable business.I found your channel by chance and binging all your videos. Love your personality. Keep going, you are doing well.🎉💪❤Greetings from France
Now it is your own office,great videos.
Can't you get the shelves delivered?
Awesome video! Thanks!
All the room! So good. And the trolley now gets to live its best life ;)
