Tip help
Sorry for another tip question.
Getting a swing set installed this morning, we paid $200 for installation and they said should only take 3 hours (a bunch of the stuff is prebuilt). What do I tip these guys? It's raining a bit so I was caught off guard that they would still do it so I need to run to an atm fast lol.
TIA!

Re: Tip help
Thanks guys! They ended up dropping it off on my lawn and will come back tomorrow to build it. I called this morning saying it was raining and to reschedule and they said they still do it in the rain and when they finally got here, told me it was raining too hard. Now the surprise will be ruined for my kids when they see huge boxes after school. Oh well, I know it's a first world problem and i should keep things in perspective but it's still pretty annoying.

Do you mind sharing who you are using (assuming you are pleased with them tomorrow)?

We are using njswingset.com .. The owner is my DHs friend, they played college baseball together. I will say he's extremely booked bc he was on good morning America recently and his business blew up fast. I'm hoping everything goes well tomorrow, I can let you know!

If you look at the superior play sets, install is only $199, he said they are better than the gorilla playsets, so that's why we went with one of those.

Re: Tip help
Just an update now that it's up. It's seriously amazing lol. My DH was playing on it was our kids and some neighbor kids, so it's big lol. Went up fast in 3-4 hours, they found the best spot for it and leveled it so well, and even moved it around to make sure it was to our liking. I truly recommend them!
