Does anyone know which direction the house on the set faced? I always had it in my head that the home faced the south. Like when the sun was coming from the direction of the barn that it was morning and when it was coming from from the side of "the shed" that it was the evening.
Is it?
If I recall, the real Hamner home faces south I think?

Hi Eric. I would of never thought west though. I was showing someone the other day all of my Waltons Memories things and came across the autographed photo you sent me not long ago. Which was by the way so very nice of you, thanks again.... Anyway my friend said , Ben always was my favorite and sooooo good looking and seeing that I have seen pictures of you from The Waltons Reunions that folks on here take when they are there. I told her, he still is soooooooooo good looking. I am introducing my Grandaughters to the show now. Hope you and your family are well, Happy Holidays. Hope to meet you at a reunion one day, maybe next year...

Thanks Eric. I was thinking either west / southwest or south.
I guess it was depending upon the time of year the filming took place dertermined the sun angle. Do you recall what months most of the filming took place? Say, if an episode aired in March, what month would it have been filmed? I am currently watching "The Tailspin" where Jim-Bob needed glasses. It aired on March 15, 1979.
Thanks again. Tony

Another good question. Usually we started filming in May for September airing, and continued through to end of January/beginning of February. They would "hold" a few of the last episodes for May sweeps. This was for advertising rates. Our post production took longer than alot of shows because we were like a feature film (we photographed and edited in film). Our schedule was usually 24 shows per season taking 6 1/2 work days per episode. Some changes in the later seasons.
I hope that helps,
Eric
