Bang up Job

Hi, how are you?

Would it be okay to use "of -ing" after "a bang up job"?


[1] You've done a bang up job clearing out the garage.

[2] You've done a bang up job of clearing out the garage.
Best wishes,

Hiro

Hi Hiro

I've also heard 'on' and 'with' used.

Hi, Amy.

You mean the following would be possible?

[3] You've done a bang up job on clearing out the garage.

[4] You've done a bang up job with clearing out the garage.

Hi, Clive.

You mean the above message? If so, I must have pressed the 'post' button twice unwittingly, and if not, I don't know which post you mean.

Thanks for your help as always.

My best,

Hiro
