Saturday I'm loading the trailer at 6 with the castle bounce house, a water slide, a combo unit with a basketball hoop, blowers, stakes, sandbags, extension cords and tarps. I've got four deliveries between 7 and 10, each with a setup: I walk the yard for sprinklers and dog mess, lay a ground tarp, unroll the unit, stake all anchor points, fire up the blower and check it inflates tight, then walk the parent through the safety rules and the weight limit and get the waiver signed. One is a backyard birthday, castle for six hours. Around noon a customer calls saying the slide has a small tear by a seam, so I drive over with a vinyl patch kit and fix it before kids get back on. At 3 it rains for half an hour and two customers want refunds, and I have to explain the weather policy while I tell them to shut the blower off and let it dry. By 7 pickups start, and I route the truck to hit four addresses before dark. Every unit comes down wet and grassy, so back at the warehouse I lay them out, scrub with a vinyl cleaner, hose them off and leave them to air-dry overnight so they don't mildew. Late at night I update which units are booked, dirty or in the truck for tomorrow, text the refund customers a reschedule credit, chase a balance from Friday, and add tonight's patch to the repair log.
