With you on that, I have an aversion to cleaning the car in the afternoon, so unless I can get an earlish start I won't bother.  Plus it gives you more time to tinker with a few bits after the clean is out of the way.

Only if 'tinker with a few bits' is code for the aforementioned beer and crisps :wink:

I would rather clean the car later in the day. Get the jobs out of the way that are likely to cause a mess first. Grass and hedge cutting makes dust. Also having to move the car out of the way to do the garden jobs would mean having to drive in socks with shoes held out of an open drivers door in order not to bring anything onto the freshly hoovered mats.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Allocate garden and car jobs to separate days if time permits?

How about a large delivery of hot tarmac?

Or a tree surgeon using a woodchipper on the driveway.  Fortunately I foresaw the terror and parked the car about half a mile downwind from the sawdust.  :laugh:

The new house in the planning will have it's drive and garaging some way from the green stuff.
