inUpdate: the $40 moisture meter we ignored saved a $12k drywall redo
That 18% reading is no joke. Same thing happened to me with a cheap pin type meter on a remodel, it flagged a wet spot behind tile that the expensive one we used first completely missed. Saved us from a nasty callback, now I don't care what it costs, if it works, it works.

inBackyard drainage took 14 months and two contractors in Calgary
Wait, are you sure the old weeping tile was actually hooked into the sewer line, because in Calgary that was pretty standard until the 1990s and it's usually grandfathered in? Either way, 14 months sounds brutal, lol.

inMy sister's 3AM rant about tipping made me question the whole custom
Is it really that deep though? Your sister's raising prices instead of taking tips is just her choice, but it doesn't mean the whole system is broken. Like yeah, the lines are random, but so are most social rules. We tip waiters because they make $2 an hour, we don't tip cashiers because they make $15. That's not a mystery, it's just math. And mechanics charge you $100 an hour, so nobody feels bad for them. The real issue is people get weird about tipping when they're broke or cheap, not that the custom itself is unfair.
