| Description: | A house in three hours and five minutes. That's what men can do when they put their minds to it. It rises before your eyes as workmen race for a record. A swarm of workers assemble the prefab home. VS construction workers doing various tasks. Young women look on with anticipation, one jumps excitedly. Some of the shots could work for 1950s growth of suburbia. Carpenters building a home in a rush so they can break their own record. MS - A pre-fabricated chimney swings into place. MS - A carpenter setting a window into place. MS - Roofers working on top of the house installing a roof. MS - A half-a-dozen painters pick up their paint cans and go off to paint. High Angle Shot - A crowd of people standing out side the finished home as movers move in the furniture. MS - Workmen watering the lawn. | |
