Comments

From Nikki : Definitely one of the best. In this short Goofy becomes a little wiser in the don't do business yet still proves unsuccessful. When he is cutting a piece of wood at a high level he realized that he is on the wrong side of the piece of wood. So he changes sides and finishes cutting the wood but then still manages to fall. The best gags would have to be the window glass, the plans, and the spray can that has a life of its own. Very well done.

From Ryan : Here we have Goofy building his own home (or at least he's trying to). I find several scenes humorous such as when Goofy is placing the window pane on the window, but it slides over. At the end, however, his neighbors come and literally bring the house down.

From Baruch Weiss : I loved the jazzy type of music that plays during the title presentation. I also loved the ending where several people come over and literary bring down the house!
