The leggy girl lifting her skirt as she attempts to navigate a puddle of water as Stan approaches Ollie's house is Dorothy Granger, who also portrays the Hardys' maid.
Most of the scenes at the end of this short, when Stan is driving the car with Ollie still on top of the ladder, were filmed on the campus of the University of Southern California (USC), in Los Angeles. At that time the streets through the campus were still public roads, with streetcars. One of the featured streetcars is marked 'Wilshire' (a major thoroughfare north of the USC campus). After careening through neighborhood streets, Stan turns the car off Exposition Blvd. onto University Ave. (now Trousdale Pkwy.), in front of the Mudd Hall of Philosophy and Hoose Library (1929; the building on the right with the curved facade). Other university buildings from the 1920s can be seen as the car progresses up the avenue. The scene where Ollie falls off the ladder in front of a trolley car is along a row of local businesses (now replaced by USC buildings) at the north end of University Ave. A sign on one storefront reads "'University Beauty Parlor". The scene where the car is crushed is also at the north end of University Ave., in front of the Public Library (later the Education Library, now USC's University Club). As the streetcar crushes the car, people on the street cover their eyes in horror--in front of the Bank of Culver City (some ten miles west of where the streetcar crushes the car!).
The stunts where Stan drives through an intersection and is passed by two speeding cars on either side of him, and when Stan honks his horn and Ollie falls off the ladder were performed by Laurel & Hardy themselves.
The house used in filming was built specifically for the movie on a rented lot on Madison Ave. in Culver City, CA. It still stands as of 2020, albeit with some alterations, and it sold for nearly $1.9M in 2019.
According to Peter Squarini, writing in "The Laurel & Hardy Magazine", the crushed but derivable Ford Model T and other adapted Model Ts were created by one Dale Schrum, who for $500 per day would rent them to the Hal Roach studio with the proviso that he drove them personally, concealed within a special compartment. If one is to freeze-frame this film at the appropriate moment, an angled drive shaft leading from the back end to the engine can be seen.
