Narrator (We Install)

The Narrator was relaxing in his recliner when the doorbell rang. It was twenty minutes to dinner so he got up and went to the door to check. He saw a dweeby-looking guy in khakis and a blue polo shirt with a company logo on the left breast and a clipboard in his hand. Not looking like a home-invasion robber, the narrator opened the door and asked "Yes?" The man introduced himself as Eric with Superior Solar and that they were in the neighbourhood installing solar systems. Given this, he could offer new systems with a very attractive discount.

The narrator checked with Debbie, his wife who was in the kitchen preparing supper and who confirmed they could afford a new system especially since their existing one came with the place, was "as old as the hills" and "a piece of junk". The narrator invited Eric in and he spread out some pictures of systems and a price list on the dinning-room table. The narrator saw one he liked and again checked with Debbie whether they could afford it. She confirmed they could and the narrator then asks when Superior Solar could install it. Eric replied they had a tech crew in the neighbourhood and could start the next morning. If it was a straightforward job, they could finish by that afternoon. He then asked if he could go up onto the roof to check out the current installation to which the narrator and Debbie agreed.
