Here three months, move into our house this week...
So its been a very difficult three months so far for me to settle in but things are moving one step at a time I got my driving license last week so now will look to get a car and insurance.
Will it be cheaper and easier to get insurance with a florida licence? We have also got our own house now and move in this weekend, its been a real rigmarole to get the mortgage etc but all done and worth the effort, I am sure I will feel better in our own place and when all our stuff is delivered from england, this thursday. I have a question... We are having the carpets lifted and having a wooden floor installed this week, its cost a few thousand and the fitters will be there for two days. Do I tip them when they have finished? Will they be expecting a tip? I have bought the floor through a retail outlet and they have subcontracted the fitting. Would not think about tipping back home but would like some advice please. Many thanks |

Other can probably guide you better in this respect. Nice to read that you're feeling more settled. :) |

Ours seemed happy with $100 between 3 of them. They had absolutely driven me round the bend while doing the job, but I think they meant well.

I have used contractors that do subcontract work for Lowes as contractors in their own right, and I certainly wouldn't have tipped them. |

Tip them if you want to. Don't if you don't.
However I would normally hold back on full payment for the job until you've gad a few days to live with it. |
