    Do you tip tradesmen?

    It's funny listen to most of you talking about "loaded" tradesman, and how great it is, and hoe easy they make their money. Let me tell you this, my hubby works an average of 12 hours a day (taking into consideration traffic to get to and from jobs), and often suffers from pain in his back...
