Two pretty interesting things:

1. Part of the front of the house was duplicated in-studio. This would probably explain some of the mis-matches I've noted in the past, involving differences with a disappearing lamp post.

2. A lot of stills from that period are in black and white. It was interesting to see a color photo of Wally and Beav sitting on the fence.
