No, They're Not Building a New Boat House in Prospect Park

Do all Fedders buildings have foundations?
I agree with the first part of tybur6’s statement; one of the crew members told me that they could only afford to do this because it’s a big-budget film. However, I’m not so sure about this faux building being less sturdy than your typical Fedders [also faux?] building. After all, it’s made of REAL plywood–no particle board at all, although there is the slight problem of there being no foundation.
I’ve been looking for years for sea & sky & so far I haven’t found one that’s any good.
You can have your drywall painted up to look like “exposed brick” and then the next owner won’t be saddled with real “exposed brick” and can simply paint over it.
Does anyone remember all that photo Contac paper of brick. There used to be a good line of Contac-like paper (a heavier vinyl than the Contac brand) from Europe that had photos of Delft tiles and the like. It could be VERY convincing from a distance. I guess the boom (i.e. neurosis) in home/dwell furnishings the last bunch of years has led to many versions of photo-realistic wall and floor treatments.
I kind of like those photo tiles of riverstones but in the end, it all looks pretty ugly when installed.
And…there’s the nostalgia of the photo wall mural…which I do happen to think is funny. Certainly the faded, low quality printed forest wall murals of the 60’s – 70’s are kind of ugly but I’m sure with today’s high resolution imagining and printing, “they” are creating some good murals.
DIBS, that faux facade costs as much as a fedders building. Though slightly less sturdy.
Couldn’t these faux facades be erected in the front of Fedders buildings????
you’re
It’s moovee magic… you’re not allowed to know unless your a member of the union.
ok – is that real brickface????
