>>>That actually is another blooper. In "Divorce, Mountain Style", Andy asks 
>>>Barney to ride the white horse "east to west, east to west". When Barney 
>>>rides the white horse east to west, he passes Andy's house on his left. That 
>>>means Andy's house faces north! 
 
Earlier in the same episode, when Andy pretends he has a sore foot, he sees 
Barney ride by and comments "that's north to south." The building Barney rides 
by is at the north end of the 4-way intersection, which was roughly one block 
west of the courthouse and barber shop. So when Barney rides by from right to 
left, from Andy's viewpoint, he really was going east to west at that point, 
not north to south. BUT, the image we see was reversed, so in real life Don 
Knotts was riding west to east!
 
Trained noticers may want to compare the view in that scene with the scene in 
"Man in a Hurry" in which Mr. Tucker is standing at the 4-way intersection all 
alone (everybody in town was at church, naturally). The building I'm talking 
about is at the top of the screen, behind Mr. Tucker; it's a 2-story brick 
building with bay windows that bulge out of both floors on the right half of 
the structure. When we see Barney ride past this building, it's backwards.
