Houseboat condition

seemed to me like it looked pretty rugged with cracked paint and such when they arrived there, then later it looked like new. by the way, if i happen to sit through a.. what are they called.. those remaking show. right. shows that "remake" places. i think i always, or mostly atleast, preefer how it looked before rather than after.


i'm a drifter,
drifting from place to place,
everyday, i seem to walk a diffrent way,
i haven't got no standing point,
somewhere, some place, i know i can always go,
i'm a drifter,
i haven't found a home,
and i keep on walking, by these roads alone,
nobody looks my way,
i'm by myself, every night and everyday,
a drifter,
going where the wind blows,
trying to keep myself warm,
by some things that happen to come along,
when there is fall,
in my soul,
i'm a drifter,
many diffrent stories been told,
i'm one of them all,
and i seem to keep singing on,
on these drifters songs.

How many people here think that the houseboat looked great first and the scenes where it looks so shabby were shot nearer the end of the picture after they had "aged" it????

It's just a guess, but I suspect they had two houseboats. It seems to me that it would be easier to:

1. Acquire one old houseboat, cheap.
2. Build a nice new copy...

...than to try to refinish an single houseboat, either aging or renewing it.

That would allow them to shoot out of continuity, and do any reshooting needed, on either houseboat.

I was thinking the same thing!
...amazing how some people don't get your question at all! ;-)
