Author's Note:
I started writing this story, never intending it to grow into what it has become. It seems to have taken on a life of its own. I hope you enjoy
The next week passed slowly but steadily until Thursday afternoon when Mike called. "Afternoon, Max. Hope I didn't wake you from your much-needed beauty sleep."
"Nope, I'm awake and dealing with some financial shenanigans trying to increase my wealth. You know, your typical retired, rich guy fun and games. What's up?"
"The delivery driver just called to let us know he was checked into the Hampton. He was going to head out to get some supper then head back to get some much-needed shuteye. We plan on meeting at the shop in the morning about 8:00 and then head out from here shortly after that. We should be at your place about 9:00 or so. You still want to do this?"
"You bet, Mike. I'll have the heaters running and the coffee going when you get here."
"Sounds great, Max. I have an electrician scheduled to show up about 2:00 in the afternoon to run the wire for the heaters. I figure we'll have most of the shelter bolted down by then and he can get started on the wiring."
"Perfect. It sounds like you have everything planned. I'll just sit back and `supervise' again. I'll see you guys in the morning."
"We'll be there, Max. Have a great evening."
I kicked back the rest of the evening watching a movie and letting the mind unwind for a bit. Bed came early that night so I could be up early in the morning to get things ready for Mike and his guys. Morning reared its ugly head much quicker than I thought it should. I got up and headed out to start the heaters. Too bad my brain wasn't in gear before I went out there because it was colder than hell with no clothes on. I started the heaters anyway, then headed back inside to pull on something warm before Mike showed up. I found some sweats and headed to the kitchen to get some food. I was just about done with breakfast when the sensor dinged to announce the arrival of my shelter.
I opened the front and rear garage doors and waited for the guys to show up. Mike pulled past the driveway, then got out and directed the truck driver into position to unload the panels. Once the panel truck was in position, Mike's guys began hauling tools through the garage and Mike introduced me to the truck driver, "Morning, Max. I'd like you to meet Bob. He works for the pool shelter company as their delivery driver and installation supervisor."
We shook hands and I said, "Nice to meet you Bob. I can't believe you drove all the way from New Mexico. That's one heck of a long trip."
"It sure was, that's why I went to bed right after supper last night. I'm feeling more alive now."
"I imagine you spend a lot time away from home delivering and setting up shelters. Bet your wife hates your job."
"She doesn't really `hate' it, but she doesn't really love it either. It pays well since I get paid 24 hours a day while I'm on the road. That lets us save enough money through the summer that we can survive the winter with minimal income. There's usually not a lot of shelters being delivered in winter. I think the last winter delivery I had was 3 years ago."
"Well, I'm sorry if I ruined any plans you had with my order."
"Aw, don't worry about it. It's all part of the job. Not gonna be much fun today with the temperature where it's at, though."
"Follow me, Bob, and I'll show you where the pool is." I led Bob and Mike through the garage and Bob couldn't believe his eyes.
"A tent?! Are you freaking kidding me? Did you set this up, Mike?" Bob sputtered.
"Wasn't me, Bob. You have to thank Max for that."
"Well, thank you, Max. I've never had a winter install happen in a tent before. Guess there's a first time for everything. Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought." Bob came over and wrapped me up in a giant bear hug. He suddenly backed off and said, "Sorry `bout that, man, I don't usually go `round huggin' guys, but for some reason, I couldn't help myself. That tent is about the nicest thing a customer's ever done for me."
"No worries, Bob, but I didn't do it just for you", I laughed. "I was thinking about Mike's guys as well."
"Of course, you were."
"I'm glad you like it, though. I'll get out of your guys' way and let you get on with it. Coffee and bathrooms are inside, which is where I'll be. You need anything, just ask." I headed on in and let them get to work. Mike got them started, then came inside, also. He poured himself a cup of coffee and sat in a chair next to me where he could watch the work as it progressed. "Is the electrician still scheduled to show up this afternoon?" I asked.
"Yep, I talked to him yesterday afternoon and he said he had all the materials he needed. He should show up shortly after lunch."
"I hadn't thought about lunch yet, Mike. What do you guys want or did you bring something with you?"
"I was going to send one of the guys over to the Subway at the truck stop to pick up some sandwiches for everyone and have them brought back here. If you don't mind, that is."
"Good idea, Mike. If you find out what everyone wants, I'll call the order in and pick it up for you."
"I'll let them work a while before I bring up food. If I do it now, that's all they're going to think about until they sit down to eat," he joked.
"I know what you mean. Now that you've brought it up, it's all I can think about. And I just finished breakfast." We sat in our chairs while the guys made short work of getting the wall panels in place and bolted down. As they were placing the last wall panel at the far end, Mike went out to get their food orders. He came back in and handed me the list of sandwiches to order. I had all the drinks here, so I didn't have to worry about that. I called the order in and told them I'd be there in 15 minutes to pick it up.
At the appointed time, I got up to grab my coat and Mike asked, "Mind if I go with? I'd like a ride in that car. I've seen it several times, but never gotten a ride."
"Not at all, Mike, grab your coat and let's go."
Mike stuck his head out the door to let the guys know we'd be back shortly with lunch, then met me in the garage. He climbed in the passenger seat and pulled on his seatbelt. After we got out of the still slick drive and on clean, dry roadway, I punched it a bit. "Wow, this thing really kicks you in the ass, doesn't it?" he asked.
"That, it does, Mike. And quite nicely, I might add. It stops on a dime, too. It's a blast to drive. I'm gonna miss driving it if I'm successful with the adoption."
"You're not selling it, are you?"
"Hell, no, but if I accomplish my goal and adopt all 4 boys, this car, as nice as it is, ain't gonna be big enough to carry all five of us anywhere."
"Ooh, didn't think about that. That's why you ordered the Flex you told me about, isn't it?"
"Exactly. Actually, it was one of the first things I did after my first meeting with Anna. Of course, that was only a couple weeks ago and it take about a month and half to two months from order to delivery. Especially with one optioned out the way I wanted it."
"I assume you got the all-wheel drive version, what with the drive you have to deal with."
"You bet. I love this car, but when it snows more than a couple inches or ices, I'm stuck at home until I can get someone out to plow and salt the drive and that ain't cheap. I should have had a four-wheel or all-wheel drive before, but I figured since it was just me stuck out here, it wasn't that a big deal. With a couple kids or more, I can't be stuck anymore."
"No, you're right about that. You never know when you might need to deal with an emergency."
"My thought, exactly. Well, here we are, let's go get lunch." We headed into the Subway and up to the counter. I told the girl what I was there for and she let me know they were making the last sandwich right now. Mike pulled out his wallet and I told him, "Put that away, Mike, your money's no good here."
"Now, that's not right, Max. You shouldn't be buying our lunch, too. The tent's more than enough."
"Not to worry, Mike, it's my treat today." I paid for the order, we got back in the Shelby and headed back home. I revved the engine to let the guys know we were back and we headed inside. We met the guys coming in the door and I directed them to bathrooms so they could clean up before eating. We all met back in the kitchen where I had all the food laid out and ready for them. They took seats at the barstools and dug in. I got drinks for everyone and we settled in.
I asked Bob, "Well, Bob, how's everything going out there?"
"Perfect, Max. These guys did a great job installing the anchors and everything's lining up just like it should. You should be proud of your crew, Mike."
"Oh, I am. They don't hear it enough, I'm sure, but I think they know how I much I appreciate the work they do."
"I'd like to hear some of that appreciation in my paycheck, Mike, think you could arrange that?" Al asked.
Mike laughed and responded with, "We'll see what we can do, Al. Any other complaints?"
A resounding chorus of "Nope" rang through the house and we all laughed.
"Now that that's settled, what's left to do, Bob?" I asked.
"Next, we start on the roof. I'll roll out the lift so we can get the panels up there safely. I just have to make sure I don't drive the thing into the pool."
"Good plan, Bob."
"Yeah, I thought so. Once the roof is in place, then we get to go over all the bolts again to make sure they're properly tightened and the thing won't collapse. Once we do that, we'll be done."
Once the feeding frenzy ended, Bob, Al and the others headed back out to start work on the roof panels. They were moving right along when the drive sensor dinged. "That should be the electrician, Max. I'll meet him out in the drive and show him where everything is."
Once the electrician had started his work, Mike came back in and re-settled in what had become his chair. Four hours later, the roof was completed and the electrician had the heaters all set. Mike and I headed out to inspect the job and we were both happy with the way everything worked out. The temperature inside the shelter was already on the rise and I could tell the heaters were going to do a fine job when the skies were cloudy. I thanked all the guys for their hard work.
Bob said, "Thanks again for the tent, Max. Without that, we'd have been here tomorrow finishing up. Well, I've got a long drive ahead of me, so I'm going to hit the road. Mike, thanks for the order, pleasure to work with you again. Hopefully, the next one will be a spring or summer install. Max, thanks for everything. I hope the shelter works as well as you expect."
"I'm sure it will, Bob. I'll walk you out." I followed Bob out through the garage and before he could get in his truck, I handed him $500 cash.
"Max, thanks, but that's not necessary," he objected. "I'm well paid and I'm just doing my job."
"Take it, Bob, you've earned it. Take your wife on a nice weekend trip somewhere once you get back home. You've done a great job today and I appreciate it."
The next thing I knew, Bob had pulled me into another great bear hug. When he backed off, he said, "Damn, I don't know what's come over me. I got to quit doing that."
"Hell, don't worry about it Bob. Nothing wrong with a hug now and then. Thanks again for all your work, have a safe trip home and don't forget, you owe your wife a trip."
"I won't, Max. Thanks again and enjoy your new shelter." Bob climbed in his truck and headed down the drive.
I met Mike and his crew inside to finish up my business with him. "Okay, Mike, time to settle up. Let me call the bank real quick." I placed the call and arranged to have the final payment wired to Mike's account in the morning. "All set, Mike. The balance due should be in your account by noon tomorrow."
"Thanks, Max. Been a pleasure doing business with you."
I handed each of Mike's crew a crisp, new $100 bill as thank you for a job well done and asked them to wait for Mike at their truck. After the last one was out the door, I turned to Mike and asked him, "Were you serious about the discount?"
"Of course, I am."
"Well, you know how to handle it. Thanks again for the great work as always, Mike. You and your guys go above and beyond for your customers."
"We aim to please, Max. I want to thank you for the work. Winter's always suck and this just made it suck a little less. Enjoy your new shelter."
"Oh, I will. If you have any other customers looking for a shelter, you're welcome to bring them out so they can see one in person before ordering one."
"That'd be great, Max. Thanks again. We'll get out of here, now. Enjoy your evening. If you need anything else, you know where to find us. And good luck with the adoption. I'll be expecting an invite to the celebration once it happens."
"You'll definitely be on the list, Mike. Tell the guys thanks again for me."
"Will do. See you later."
Mike climbed in the truck and headed down the drive. I closed the garage and headed inside to make another call. I got a hold of Wes at Party Creations to let him know I was done with the tent and they could come take it down any time. He told me his tent people didn't work weekends and it would be Monday before they came back out. I let him know that was fine and I would see his people Monday afternoon.
I headed to my bedroom and got undressed. I'd been out and about so much lately and with all the people coming to the house the past few weeks, I was getting really tired of wearing clothes as much as I had been. I headed to the kitchen to fix something for supper, then to the theater to watch another movie.
