What time is polite on the ‘weekend’?
10am and later, I think
That is overly polite in my opinion. I'm happy to fire up the lawn mower after 9am.
Here in the Texas summer it's about seven in the morning. Annoying, but everybody realizes that if you go out any later, you're gonna die of heat stroke.
i used to work at a customer service call centre, we had a rule against making outbound calls before 9am
That may just be because the FTC has rules for when you can call, and it may have 9 AM because of where you live.

FWIW, the FTC says 8 AM is fine for calls, so presumably 8 AM is fine to start work on the weekends.
noon.
