“All right. I’ll see you Friday morning, bright and early. I should be able to get this finished by Saturday afternoon at the latest. Oh, you might want to know what this is going to cost you.”

“It would probably be a good idea,” Wylie agreed. Carl took a tape measure and a pad of paper from his bag and spent the next few minutes jotting down the dimensions of the walls.

“Better than I expected,” Wylie commented. “Do you want, say, half down?”

“If you would, please.”

Wylie wrote out a check which he gave to Carl. After the man packed up everything, Wylie walked him to the door, thanked him for coming by, and promised he’d have the furniture moved by the time Carl arrived Friday morning.
