When I had my own business, I would work as much as I could each week.
If they were living in the house, I'd take off weekends to give them a
break.

If it was a vacation house, and they weren't living there, I would work
7 days a week and long hours just to finish quickly.

My "weekends" were often taken inbetween jobs and not any certain days.
Just get the job finished then take a few days off before starting the
next one.

I'd much rather work an extra 3 hours one day to avoid having to go back
the next day for 3 hours to finish.
