So, ironically, I just found out that we have a crew of 4 coming on Friday
morning to add some insulation to our house (Foam in the cellar, blown in
cellulose in the attic. No wrestling with nasty fiberglass batts.)
According to the big spenders in the group, we should tip these guys how
much for one day's work?

Use your best judgement. You'll have seen a wide variety here on how
various people handle this. With over 25,000$ worth of contracting work and
DIY parts to repair renter damage, I havent tipped in money (except the one
fellow who undercharged) because I do not have it. Miltary dont make all
that much (this is 2/3 my annual take home).

I do not stint the food or cold drinks. Expect in hot weather they may
drink 1/2 a drink then get a new cold one. I make up lots of ice cold
gatoraide and have plenty of cups in hot weather. Sure, they'd 'love' to
get 100$ each extra but they want to come back here because we appreciate
them and show it in our own way.

Grin, you'll note perhaps TFM who does contracting work, would be delighted
to come here.
