You got a lot of cleaning ahead of you. Especially the time to take care of your 4x4. I need to get my truck washed soon. although it doesn';t get driven much anymore, it has collected a lot of dirt and stuff around the fenders from when it was driven in the rain last.
When we were first married, the wife and I used to clean our little apartments and houses on Sundays. As our houses got bigger and kids came in the picture and got older, we stopped doing it. Now we have an empty nest I might see if she wants to go back to doing it. It was kind of a special thing, we would get up whenever on Sunday, have breakfast, then commence to whooping it on together. When we were done, we would order pizza or something like that and snuggle in front of some movies for the rest of the day.
My partner and I clean the house (inside and out) together and don't mind those ranking days. We tend to do a little each day or so which means it doesn't mount up but we have a big cleaning day every couple weeks as well. She doesn't help with the vehicles, she's not up to my standard there, but she sits out and chats with me when I work.
I think it's nice to do those things together, as with you and your wife, and it makes the relaxation time, in a lovely clean home, feel nicer.
That is great you two do that together and share in the chore. Heck I bet it helps time pass washing the truck even if she just sits and chats with you.
If it's hot and she's got a bikini on the car washing takes way longer. 😉
I bet it does.
