Tile grouting issue- white efflorescence Q. Customs grout is shady as heck and I'm a licensed 30 years plus tile contractor. My own house had it with light smoke.

Customs use to work ok back in the day, but the last few years, the shading problem has become unbearable, possibly because the tile we use has changed.

Haha km : You never know, you might have some disappointed neighbors now that you have blinds. Good to know about the tipping etiquette. Never even thought about tipping the installer. Now I feel like a smuck. Hooray for blinds.. Can't wait to see some pics! But I just didn't know, so queried the group to see what wise counsel MMMers could provide.

Thanks for the responses, all. I'm on the side of tipping some small amount. Around here it seems that big name companies outsource the service work to individuals, so these are people working on a project basis without typical employee benefits. Both of them were surprised and happy to get it. I only do this for these big projects, not for the postal carrier or occasional landscape worker. Piano 5 O'Clock Shadow Posts: I tipped the reno people of a bottle of cheer each.

This was great repurposing because Mr. Piano and I had received the bottles as gifts, but we do not drink. I also tip if I go to craft classes and the teacher is not the owner. Never anything wrong with being kind. I tip my mailman every day. Its a wonder they don't foreclose. Quote from: partdopy on October 25, , PM. Dreaming of WA Learning. This is such a strange question to an Australian.

We generally don't tip unless the service is exceptional. Quote from: middo on October 25, , PM. I don't get the whole tipping thing, either, although I do it at sit-down restaurants a pretty rare event! Mostly because it's expected and it makes me look cheap if I don't.
