Home development photo montage

Abstract/Description: 'This is a montage of photos of our home being constructed [from the open land, ground breaking picnic and construction]. A production crew filming a commercial bank loan ad needed a house under construction and our house was at the right stage. The actor playing the role of the contractor pulled a steel tape out to measure the size of the window, but instead of looking at the length, he looked at the beginning of the tape, Number 1 - the first inch on the tape. Hard to measure the window when you look at the wrong end of the tape. The real contractor was laughing out loud when he saw this, and suggested the actor look at the other end of the tape measure. The last image is of the finished house with our puppy "Benji". He was a rescue. Location: Montemalaga, Palos Verdes Estates, CA.'
