peter lovstrom Too right! I wish I had the know-how to put together a reel of him taking falls right through till he died. Man, did he hit the gene pool jackpot!

when younger, he could do a standing back flip. there's a wonderful episode of Rt 66 he did with Joe E Brown in '62.

66 actually. But Master Chan is 67 now and still doing his own stunts.

Norman Wisdom was doing this in his 70s

That’s your house no way 😮

@@jesrovalenzuela1346 It's the exact same model, paint, etc. Built with that first neighborhood, so not my lot, but looks exactly like it!

What did the other two occupants do with a half bath? Did they go into the master bath to shower? That seems to defeat the purpose of having a master.

He was drunk.

@@alphaomega8373 He was never drunk when he worked.

GHS still shoving out grads and Dazzo's Dog House is still across the street!

Indubitably ! He was rather droll !! 🤣

Wow I heard of people that were easily amused but youre in a complete different category!

it isn't "worth" $425k. that's it's market value. the dollar is worth LESS today. to reconstruct that property would cost way more than $425k. as it was, materials are no longer available, and in addition it would never pass today's codes.

The human condition: greed and stupidity.

I grew up in a John F. Long home built in 1973. The el-cheapola assholes used a hollow core door for an *exterior* door, heading out of the garage to the back yard. It died by 1979 after a bad hailstorm in '78 beat off the paint, and had to be replaced.

I very much agree! He must have had a background in gymnastics. I did gymnastics in high school, but I could never do the kind of stuff he's doing in this video - and he was in his sixties!

Cant even get a storeroom for that now.

Acoustical ceilings would be the paper/cellulose drop ceiling blocks (I think they could be just glued on as well instead of using the metal framework). This is a cheaper way of finishing than to have plasterers come in. It's advertised as absorbing noise and cutting down on the echo in your home. Today, I think the ceilings are usually down with drywall, the same as the walls (in the USA, anyway).

Acoustic, or popcorn, ceilings are a lightweight material (until the mid 70s contained asbestos) sprayed onto the ceiling to reduce noise. They look like cottage cheese and were pretty cool at the time but are an eyesore today. Many people have it removed

+Boogster Su Hi Su - I got this message on May 4th, but never got a response to my reply. Said that I would love to have a link to where people could buy it, am still waiting to hear back. Mr. Hall, It appears that you have downloaded clips from Laughsmith Entertainment's copyrighted restoration of THE HOMEOWNER, as well as taken information from my commentary track. As I was the one who found and discovered the film, you could at least give me a mention or credit for this. Love your Phoenix History website BTW. Here is what I found on Laughsmith Entertainment www.imdb.com/company/co0026466/

+Boogster Su Hi Su - You can get the full film on the two DVD disc set called Industrial Strength Keaton, it is readily available on Amazon and other places! It is on Disc two under the Industrial Films section. Really great collection of rare and hard to find Keaton televisions sketches, promo films, archival footage, commercials and the like!

Yes

Yes! And even in 1961 it was very inexpensive for the time. And Buster included!

She has been sold...

長く生きると繁栄！

I lived there in the 70s and it was a very nice neighborhood. Sadly gangs moved in and there was a lot of drug activity, it went down hill for many years but I recently viewed the house I used to live in online and they did some very nice upgrades. Looks like they are at least trying to fix up the neighborhood. Amazes me it still has the same kitchen cabinets! They just painted them

It was just part of the character. In real life he wore very fine clothes.
