[phone rings] -[Anthony] Hello?
[Jeff] I'm meeting Andrew at Anthony's right now.
I have way too much on my plate, so I'm bringing in Andrew as an associate.
I know that we're gonna extend this just a little bit.
When are we gonna start the pour?
We're gonna form on Monday and then once we get approval from you, we'll pour.
Okay.
I received a complete estimate from Matt with your wish list.
It came out to be 150 grand.
And there's no spa modification whatsoever.
-Really? -Really.
To me, it's a priority.
I will throw in three grand out of my profit.
Okay, great.
I want you to negotiate my next...
[all laugh]
She's, like, unbelievable.
[Matt] Yeah.
This was delayed.
Yeah, the wallpaper was delayed.
[Evan] Okay.
The bed won't be here till when?
[Megan] I think he's probably at least four weeks.
Things are getting delayed all over the place.
[theme music plays]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Where are we starting here?
Do you wanna have all these Salsitas on the table?
I don't.
[Tyler] They're very seasoned.
The dip is in the chip. They told me to say it.
[Jeff] All right. We'll start with Ashlee and Evan.
Did you get a spray tan?
-I did. -[Jeff] It looks good.
-[Jeff] So... -[Megan] Yeah.
Wallpaper and bed, what is the status?
The wallpaper is backordered.
Which wallpaper?
-The hide, the bed wall. -[Jeff] Okay.
That hide wallpaper for one wall is $7500.
So pretty.
And now they love it so much, it's not like I can change it.
Megan did come up with the good idea to do suede wallpaper on the bed wall.
-[Ashlee] I love it. Mm-hmm. -[Evan] Yeah, I love that too.
-[Evan] Wow. -[Ashlee] Oh, my God.
That would be so cozy and beautiful.
[Megan] I think we have about two more weeks.
[Jeff] Okay, now also, I mean, this isn't, like, a pick on Megan day.
God.
But also in the future when we are showing clients wallpaper...
Yes.
[Jeff] We just have to have a general idea of what it costs.
Okay.
We have a budget, right? We always have a budget.
But Megan didn't get the pricing on the wallpaper
before we presented it, which, you know, it's kind of backwards.
And I don't believe I would have presented that wallpaper to them
because it was so expensive.
That's ridiculous. Would you ever spend 7500 on one wall of wallpaper?
[Megan] I would.
I'd spend somebody else's money on it, not mine.
-It's so gorgeous. -[Jeff] I understand that.
It's special and unique and it really makes that whole room.
And by the way, we did go cheap on all the other ones.
I would never spend $7500
on suede wallpaper for one wall, personally.
But what's done is done. You gotta figure it out.
After the bed is delivered, we're looking at one rug.
Do you think one rug?
I think so.
[Megan] I think one rug in front of the fireplace.
[Andrew] Yeah.
[Jeff] With Mira's, Matt is gonna test the plumbing.
If there's any sort of issue, he has to replumb the pool,
it's gonna be another $10,000, which we don't have the money for.
So he's gonna look into that.
Anthony approved the hardscape plans.
All right.
What I was hoping is that you could get Frank
to finish the hardscape in the front yard, right?
Then we can immediately come in with the faux lawn and landscaping
so we can all move on with our lives.
And then we have a new client.
Roselyn Sanchez. What was she in?
[Shane] Fantasy Island.
-She's really gorgeous. -Real pretty.
-[Tyler] Where does she live? -Her home is in Studio City.
Her office is also a podcast studio.
I didn't know she has a podcast, she and her husband.
Everybody does. Do you do a podcast?
Sure.
[all laugh]
We all have podcasts here, right?
-[Megan] I have a podcast. -Yeah.
[Anthony] Where do you do your podcast from?
[Megan] My bed.
[all laugh]
[pop music plays]
I'm so hungry. We would be a few minutes late if I stop somewhere.
Yep.
If there's, like, a minimart or anything like that.
Like, a Chevron?
Oh, it has Food Mart.
Did you call ahead to the Food Mart, let 'em know we're gonna be here?
Yeah, I made reservations for 12:00 on Thursday for two.
-At the Food Mart. -Food Mart.
-Wow. -Mm-hmm. More, please.
Why don't we eat these every day?
It was a great idea, stopping at the Food Mart.
Okay, so we have Roselyn at 2:00?
[Shane] Yeah. Oh, I need Roselyn's address.
[pop music plays]
Beautiful little pond.
-[Jeff] Hi. -Hi.
-Hi. How are you? -I'm good. How are you?
-Hi, guys. -Good.
I am Roselyn Sanchez. I'm an actress.
I was in a lot of stuff:
Rush Hour 2, The Game Plan, Act of Valor, Without a Trace.
Right now, I'm doing a series called Fantasy Island.
It's the reboot.
I am going to Puerto Rico very soon to do a second season.
I have two kids.
I am married to Eric Winter, also an actor,
and we've been together for 16 years.
It's been a long time. [laughs]
It's really nice.
Now, did you remodel or did you buy the house like this?
I bought this house 19, 20 years ago.
A long time ago. It was completely different.
When I first got it, I was single. It was my first property that I bought.
It was such a big accomplishment, you know, to buy your first house.
It was more of, like, uh, Art Deco Miami, old school, very cool.
Then I changed it and I made it completely Mediterranean
because I was into that look.
Now I'm more into modern. I want everything light.
I just want airy. I just wanna breathe. I don't want anything heavy or dense.
And that's what we're going for.
Wow.
-[Shane] I love the back here. -[Jeff] And I love the pool.
[Roselyn] It's small, but it's cute.
You put all these doors in during the remodel?
Everything.
Yeah. And I love the floors.
Okay, so then what you're looking to do is your office? Is that correct?
It's not here. We have to go to a different location.
Okay.
I wanted Jeff to come to my house first,
even though this is not where we're doing the project,
because I wanted him to feel my vibe.
I think he is really, really smart and this is what he does for a living.
So just by walking in for five seconds,
he's gonna be able to scan it and be like, "I know what to do."
My husband, when I met him, he has a townhome
and we use one of the bedrooms as a podcast room.
Mm-hmm.
So we're gonna fix that room.
How often do you do your podcast?
-Twice a week. -Oh.
Sometimes if we're too busy, then we do it once a week.
What's it called again?
He Said, Ella Dijo.
Okay.
He said what?
Ella Dijo. He Said, She Said.
-Got it. That's what I figured. Okay. -[laughs]
The name is He Said, Ella Dijo.
Let's come up with a... with a new style of arguing.
We cover every single topic from pop culture to motivational speaking,
to marriages to whatever we wanna talk about.
-[indistinct] -What the heck?
We're very different. You know, I'm Puerto Rican and he's fully an LA boy.
You're not letting me explain what these are.
We somehow make it work, but we don't agree on absolutely anything.
It's very comical.
-[indistinct] -[indistinct]
It's like couples therapy.
What's your husband up to? He's an actor also, right?
He's doing The Rookie for ABC.
So it sounds like you guys are making a lot of money
to spend on this podcast studio.
[Shane] And make a beautiful studio.
Yeah. So this one room is, like, your...
Is that your office?
It's an office, podcast. It's just a room.
Right, furniture, wallpaper, window coverings, paint, whatever?
Yeah.
-Lighting. -Yeah.
I was hoping that I would get an idea of her aesthetic by looking at her house.
Her house is, like, tone-on-tone, minimal. It's very clean.
I know what she wants.
I have the address, so I can just meet you there.
Okay.
I wasn't listening to every word because I was like,
"You're just so beautiful."
Me too. I was distracted. I was distracted by her beauty.
Do you think she had her makeup done?
I don't know. I don't know if she needs it. She's a natural beauty.
[Jeff] I know.
[pop music plays]
-[Roselyn] Hi, guys. -[Jeff] Hi.
[Roselyn] So this is the townhome where my husband lived before he met me.
[Jeff] How'd you meet your husband?
[Roselyn] At a Hollywood Sony event.
So this is where we do He Said, Ella Dijo
with Eric Winter and Roselyn Sanchez.
[Jeff] Oh, yeah, we got a lot of work to do in here, huh?
[Roselyn] A lot of work.
Okay.
Um...
The podcast space, it's not as nice as her house.
Let's put it that way.
I can see why she wanted me to come in and do a refresh.
It's a bachelor pad.
She needs to redo the whole place, not just the podcast studio.
And are these all places you've been?
-[Roselyn] That he's been, not me. -[Jeff] He's been.
-Yeah. -[Jeff] How attached to this are we?
Um, I'm not. I'm sure he is, but he can put it inside a closet.
Yeah, or maybe in, like, a box.
Yes, exactly. [laughs]
Yeah. And then is this your desk?
That's his desk. Yes.
Can you ask your husband if he needs one or can that go somewhere else?
We'll figure it out.
[Jeff] Okay. Well, I just don't wanna step on his toes, you know?
No. No, it's okay. I will.
Okay, you'll step on his toes.
[all laugh]
[Jeff] The celebrities that I've worked for in the past
tend to have a home office space,
something functional, practical for multiple purposes,
but it's not like her house.
Her house is, like, very California
with all of the natural light and the light colors.
The podcast space, you know, it's not as nice.
It could be really nice, though.
You wanna be at a desk or you wanna be in, like,
really just comfortable chairs with, you know, an area rug
and a side table and a coffee table and all that?
Like, a talk show kind of thing.
That'd be nice, yeah.
I guess I'm seeing this very cool, sexy, lounge space.
I mean, maybe the idea of just having, like, two beautiful sofas.
-Not sofa, like chairs, you know. -[Jeff] Yes, yes.
Like, a third one or maybe a nice sofa for me and him
-and then a third... -[Jeff] Right.
A second piece that is just for the guest.
Yeah, so, like, a love seat and then a club chair.
-Correct. -Okay.
Something like that with something nice in the middle and a nice rug.
[Roselyn] I was thinking of doing more of, like, a recording studio
and he's inclining to do something a little bit more loungy.
So it's not quite the idea that I thought we were gonna do, but I'm open to it.
I'm gonna take a leap of faith because he's a professional.
You know, he's the one creating it. I just want it to look beautiful.
-I do hate the doors. -Me too.
[Jeff] But if we painted, we wallpapered, I think beautiful furniture, lighting.
I actually hate the carpet too.
I mean, I'm glad I saw your house. That helps me.
But I want this to be different.
I kind of want this to be a little louder but tasteful.
-Okay, okay. -You know what I'm saying?
Let me ask you something.
This is the little art for the podcast.
Is it cool to have, like, a wall that is maybe that?
It's not what I see. We need color. We need pattern.
Do you think it's gonna be more likely
that you're gonna have a straight on shot on this wall,
or do you think there's gonna be angle shot?
Well, probably angle shots, right?
Because if you have a guest and I'm sitting here
and then you and Eric are here, you're gonna be hitting us this way.
Yes.
So if you're doing that,
I mean, I may want this wall wallpapered too.
So, I mean, look, it's a small room.
-Yeah. -We can do it.
Wallpaper, paint, new doors, new window coverings,
-new carpet, furniture, lights. -Uh-huh.
Let me ask you something.
Is it random to try to do, like, you know, those day beds
that you just go like this?
A Murphy bed.
So once we have a guest, family or whatever,
they just can move things a little bit and then there's a bed.
Could that sofa be a pullout?
Yeah.
I think pullout sofas are very functional.
I have used them before for people.
Like, in this case, this is, you know,
a podcast space that could also be a guest room.
Okay, you're doing your podcast twice a week from here, though.
Can you do it from the other house while we're under construction?
How long do you think it's gonna take you?
Um...
So three weeks?
Three weeks is what we have before I go to Puerto Rico.
So, yeah, I want it done fast.
I have to get furniture.
I need you to rapidito. [laughs]
How soon can you clean, clean up the room?
Whenever we have to.
I initially thought that it was just straight up furniture
and maybe some painting.
So I figured I could get that done in maybe two or three weeks.
But now we're doing carpet and new closet doors
and I had to skim-coat the walls.
I always listen to the client, but I also have to be very realistic
because I don't wanna create a situation where you're unhappy with me.
I'll try to bring a lot of people on Wednesday
to get all the estimates and get done.
And then Frank's gonna have to do those doors too.
-Yeah. -So we have to have an empty room.
Is that doable?
A hundred percent.
Okay. Okay, all right. Got it.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] What time would we arrive in Malibu?
11:03.
-Okay, that's good. -Yeah.
They're very active around here, these residents.
A lot of walking and jogging and riding bikes.
Where do I go? I feel like I'm getting close.
The house is one mile still.
I just wanna sit in a Jacuzzi with my whole family.
That is something you will never hear me ever say. Ever.
I think it sounds really nice.
-And their girlfriends. -[chuckles]
If I was dating someone and they were like, "Hey"...
"Come over and meet my parents."
"We're all gonna get in the Jacuzzi."
That's just weird.
"Me and you and my parents and my siblings and their partners."
[pop music plays]
[Chris] Hello, Jeff. Morning. How are you doing?
[Shane] I'm excited to see it's all torn up.
How quickly they did it too, it was impressive.
I mean, they tore up all the concrete, gone.
-[Shane] Wow. -[Chris] Yeah. It's crazy.
Just the first day when they took down the fence made such a difference.
Yeah.
And then to see, like, they did all this in two days.
Mira and Chris wanna remodel the pool.
They wanna change the equipment.
They wanna fix if there's any plumbing issues.
They want a larger spa.
They wanna raise the spa, a new pool deck.
They want a fire pit and they want an outdoor barbecue.
It's a lot of work and we need to stay within the budget.
Hey, guys. Hey, Matt. How are you?
[Matt] Hey, how you doing?
Did you ever, um, test the plumbing?
No, because we open it. That's why we have to cut everything.
So we still don't know if there's any plumbing work to be done on the pool.
Yeah, we don't know yet.
Okay.
Matt has been very open and honest in saying that
he was gonna pressure-test the plumbing to see if there need to be any repairs.
So I do get worried that they're gonna hit with another six, eight,
$10,000 if they have to replumb the pool.
[Jeff] Hopefully there's not gonna be...
-Anything. -[Jeff] Right.
Once we finish this, then I will test it.
Okay. Now, you were planning on redoing the steps and making wider steps.
-Is that correct? -Yeah. Yeah.
What was not in the budget at all and never discussed
was that once we installed the pool deck,
we had to transition the travertine deck into the steps.
There was a lot of repairs that needed to happen to these stairs.
What am I supposed to do? A little, like, three-step ladder?
We had to build steps.
I just didn't take it off because I didn't know what's the plan on that.
Obviously, it's additional, but maybe you could build the stairs for us?
Okay. That's gonna be out of, like, wood again?
-I think so, right? -Yeah.
Yeah, 'cause there's a lot of hardscape.
[Chris] So, I mean, it could be cool if we did wood.
Even if it's temporary because ultimately these are gonna have to be rebuilt.
[Chris] Yeah.
[Jeff] But I don't know what he's gonna charge us. We'll find out.
All right, um, when will you give us a bid on the steps then?
[Matt] Yeah, I will. -No, when?
Oh, uh, today later on. I could do that.
-Okay. Great. -[Matt] That's not a problem.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Good to see you. Looking good.
Oh, big shocker, you got the same thing as yesterday.
-No, I did not. -And the day before.
[Andrew] I thought you guys had Chick-fil-A.
[Shane] Now we're into The Carving Board.
We eat at the same place every day for two weeks
and then we move on to somewhere else.
Oh, by the way, this is what Anthony just said.
He went and looked at the house. He said, "Too much hardscape for me.
I like trees and grass and things to soften the area."
I said, "Let's discuss."
I was surprised when I got the text from Anthony
that there was too much hardscape.
I absolutely don't agree with it, but I understand.
Right now, yes, it looks like a concrete jungle.
However, the lawn that we're doing in between all the concrete
will soften everything.
So this is what I told him.
It's going to look like the driveway is huge,
but he doesn't realize that we're building those walls out.
With Anthony, it's been very much of a compromise.
So I haven't agreed with him all the time,
he hasn't agreed with me all the time.
So that's why there's been so many revisions.
I think he's a little frustrated with everything that's going on.
[Andrew] When does he wanna be in the house?
[Shane] Like, a year ago.
That's why we're doing the front rather than anything else,
just so he can park his car and get in the house, you know.
Get in there.
I appreciate your help with this.
We'll get it done.
And then he's gonna realize what can really be done
and then go into the inside and the backyard.
Hopefully. And then fix the other person's mistakes.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] What do you have today?
[Megan] I got a bunch of shit for Ashlee and Evan.
Some chandeliers, pendants, fabrics for the window shades.
-[Tyler] Hi. -Hi.
It smells so good in here.
It's such a cozy day.
-[Jeff] We have food for you. -Thanks.
Did you guys meet anybody at that party you went to?
Yeah, a little young, a little young.
Really, really cute guy obsessed with Jeff.
-Did not look at me. -[Jeff] Too young.
Like, your age young?
-Mm-hmm. -[Jeff] Yeah, too young.
Wow. Yeah.
The problem is, is that I wasn't interested, so I was aloof.
-[Shane] They like that. -Yeah.
It makes it worse. Somebody wants a daddy.
[chuckles]
[Megan] Ashlee and Evan.
Let's look at window coverings.
[Tyler] And this is pretty.
[Tyler] If she wants to go lighter.
-I wonder if you should go lighter. -[Megan] Mm-hmm.
When we stained the ceiling, the room got a little darker.
So I'm hoping to bring in some contrast
with some lighter fabrics for the draperies.
Do you have more, um, of these samples or no?
Yeah. These are the ones I liked.
-That's pretty. -Mm-hmm.
[Tyler] It's warm. I really like that.
[Megan] Me too.
I think that's a great choice, one great choice, but we need more.
-I'll go get more. -Okay.
How was your weekend, Tyler?
Good. Party Saturday, went out yesterday.
Hi Tops?
No, Pump.
[Megan] Pump.
-This one was at Hi Tops. -[Tyler] It was very busy.
-It was so busy out. -What night?
-Every night. -No, just Sunday.
[Megan] Are you hungover today?
No, I did it early.
-Oh, good. -I went at, like, 5:00.
[Megan] Oh, good.
[pop music plays]
Okay, so the other day, I came by to check out the ceilings.
Yeah.
And the gate was closed.
Was anybody here? Like, workers?
No, nobody was here.
And Jeff goes, "Okay, just can you get in somehow? Can you hop over?"
So I hopped over the gate.
And then I was gonna walk around the back,
but the dog was just looking at me through the window.
-So you never even got into the house? -No.
Then I heard sirens. I was like, "Oh, God, I gotta get out of here." [laughs]
[both laugh]
But I kept all the texts.
I'm like, "Jeff told me to do this." So if I get arrested...
If you get arrested, you were allowed in.
I was like, "Jeff told me."
I would've loved it if you would've gotten arrested.
I wonder if they have me on camera?
Probably. Were you wearing a dumb hat?
[both laugh]
It was hot pink. It's like, "Here I am."
[both laugh]
-Oh, hey, Andrew. -[Andrew] Hi, Jeffrey.
Oh, look at that cute little ensemble today. Um...
-Evolve, Jeffrey, evolve. -[Jeff] Is that from Peru?
It is.
-And the hat too? Mm. -[Andrew] No.
[Megan] I like the hat. I think it's cute. Brings out his eyes.
[Shane] Yeah.
[Jeff] Totally, if you showed up at my house,
I'd be like, "I want that guy picking everything."
[laughs]
-[Evan] Hey. -Hi.
-[Jeff] Oh, hey. -Come on in.
-No, you're good. Just walk in. -[Jeff] I didn't know where you were.
-[Ashlee] How are you guys? -[Jeff] I wanna look at this ceiling.
Hi.
-[dog barks] -No.
-[Jeff] God, it's so much better. -[Ashlee] It's so much better.
[Jeff] We have window coverings for you too.
That was what she was doing.
I found it at my mom's house. I thought it'd be nice with the walls.
-I love it. -Yeah.
So they love this that came from her mom's house,
just this book, so we're calling the shade store now to see if they do...
-Do you have to order? -I'm gonna check, yeah.
So what we're gonna do is we have to check from the shade store
how much yardage we need.
Then we have to call these two companies
and find out if they have stock available and how soon can we receive it.
Once we order it, we drop it off at the shade store
and they make the curtains.
[Jeff] Does the shade store have anything lighter?
Not when I... They don't have a lot of green. Yeah.
[Jeff] I don't love this one.
-[Megan] Do you love that one? -[Jeff] This, I much... I like that a lot.
-That might be easier to get. -I think that is a really nice in-between.
Okay. Okay.
[Evan] This one? Between this?
[Jeff] How does that look next to it?
[Evan] I think the earth tones and I think it matches some of the gold.
Okay, see if you can find it. Look at it next to the suede.
The $7500 suede.
-That's pretty. -Mm-hmm.
[Andrew] Very rich looking.
They want what they want and I just need to...
I need to figure it out.
My feeling is, with the custom fabric, it could get expensive.
So we were joking but not joking.
We probably have to go to Living Spaces for the furniture.
-Okay. -Yeah.
'Cause you're worried about the custom drape.
I worry about that, yes. And I also worry about the lead times.
-You guys have really expensive taste. -[laughs]
[Jeff] I just keep adding up all these numbers.
-[Evan] You can add in your head? -[Jeff] Yeah.
You're the only two that can spend 150,000 in one room.
-[laughs] -Jesus.
[Megan] It's not hard to do.
[Evan] Oh, goodness gracious.
[pop music plays]
[Shane] I have something for the car ride home.
My God, I love Salsitas.
-I know. -Why? Why do we love them?
'Cause the dip is in the chip.
-[laughs] -Come on.
Do you know what I've never done which would actually be perfect?
I wanna lay by the pool. I wanna have the big bag.
I wanna have Corona with lime.
And you know how when you're at Javier's,
you dip the chip in guac and then in salsa?
Yes.
What if you dipped a Salsita in guacamole?
Oh, my God, I couldn't imagine.
Can you imagine?
I think...
-Can you even imagine? -No. Mm-mm.
I would... Yeah, no.
You're speechless.
[pop music plays]
-[Jeff] Hey, morning. -Morning, Jeff. How are you?
-Good morning. -Good. How are you?
Hey, Andrew.
This is what's drawn out on the plans.
And it looks like that grass area looks really small.
I mean, yeah, it's literally just a little patch.
Yeah.
Honestly, I think you have to bring it way forward.
It's too much hardscape. Don't you think? Look.
Anthony thought something was wrong and he was right.
This is too much hardscape.
[Tyler] That's the concrete line?
[Andrew] It's way too much.
I feel like you should go to this.
[Jeff] Yeah, that's what we were just talking about.
I think it's important that you have a nice landing
where those pots are gonna be.
So you have landing, a few steps,
another landing, and then a few wide steps.
This is steps?
-Yes. -Yeah.
Why don't you go here? And then you're still widening out.
[Jeff] And then you could put a really nice pot there if you wanted to.
Like, here.
And then you're centered.
Why doesn't the water feature then come here?
And then the tier here.
I'm just wondering why there's all these...
Is it too long, the water feature? Or are you okay with it?
[Tyler] It seems really big.
[Jeff] Right?
I mean, that's a small pool.
That's what I'm saying. Like, we don't need a lap pool.
Like, you could shorten it probably to this window to, like, here.
It's gonna be nice that he can do laps in the water feature.
What about that size?
[Tyler] It's nice.
See, that's cleaner. It just looks better.
I like this, Andrew. I think it looks good.
If you just wanna just copy it on this side.
Yeah, want me to make it?
Yeah.
We're working on new drawings so we can get approval from Anthony
because I don't wanna have to do any sort of concrete demolition.
Because if I were to pour the wall forms in the wrong place
and he said, "That's not what I wanted,"
it's not like I can give him a change order.
I would have to spend the money and the time to demo the concrete and repour.
We're trying to avoid any sort of mistakes so we can pour once and be done.
Looks good. I gotta go.
It's okay, though, to tell them to start digging?
[Jeff] Yeah. Thanks, Tyler.
[pop music plays]
[Megan] What is the room?
This is gonna be the new podcast studio.
But it's like a lounge, like a set, like we talked about.
[Megan] Oh.
-[Andrew] It's done. [chuckles] -[Jeff] Yeah.
Roselyn, her request of me was to create a work-from-home space,
but they also didn't wanna lose a bedroom.
So they wanted it to be versatile.
The people working from home now,
they're spending money decorating these rooms
because they're spending so much time.
So it's no longer this guest room that they used,
you know, during the holidays.
It's a room they're using every day, so they're putting money into it.
What we're looking at doing is we wanna smooth-coat the walls for wallpaper.
[Razmik] All the walls? Yeah.
[Jeff] Yeah, and then we want to get rid of the mirrored wardrobe doors
and she wants to do something else.
And then we're looking at maybe, like, a half-panel all the way around.
All right.
[Jeff] And then we wanna pull up the carpet too.
[Razmik] Okay.
Is there any chance you would start Monday?
No, I can't. I can't Monday.
Uh, the best, best I can do is next week, not even.
Contrary to what people might think, it's not like I drive up in a van
and I have eight people waiting at the curb
and so the second they say, "Let's go,"
I'm like, "Hey, guys, come on, we're ready."
That's not how it works.
So it takes a couple days to get people out to do the estimates
and then I have to negotiate the estimates.
And then once we come to a price, then I have to schedule them.
It's two weeks, minimum.
Especially right now, it's not like people
are just sitting home and waiting for me to call them and they can start tomorrow.
That's not how it works.
Okay, so the smooth coat, what, two days?
Well, usually they do a couple of coats.
It has to dry, come back, sand it, you know, cover it.
-[Jeff] So is it... -So at least...
If he can start, let's say Monday, it will be probably Thursday.
Okay.
Once he's done with that, then we need to come and do the paneling.
Yeah.
Paneling should take a couple of days, most.
Then we have to paint and we have to do wallpaper.
-And carpet. -And carpet.
If I was hiring someone to do a job at my house
and I was leaving for five months,
ideally, I would like it done before I leave.
But I don't wanna phone it in
and I don't want to make all these concessions
in order to finish the job in three weeks.
It won't be as special as it would be
as if I had a few more weeks to do what I want.
[Jeff] Megan.
[Megan] What? What's happening?
[Jeff] Gotta call shade store. You gotta look for wallpaper.
Tyler, can you look for, um, different...
You think you're gonna fit a sofa and two chairs in there?
-Love seat. -A little baby sofa.
-She wants the sofa to be pullout. -No.
Because they wanna make it a guest room sometimes.
-Can we look for that? -[Tyler] I'll look.
The least ugly and then we'll have to cover it with throws and pillows.
-[Megan] They're real little. -I know.
[Tyler] And they're real heavy.
You're not gonna get a pullout sofa up that stairwell.
[Shane] Oh, that's a good point.
You know what I want is solutions. That's what I want. I want solutions.
-Less complaints. -[Tyler] Pullouts. Perfect.
-[Jeff] And paneling too, paneling. -Wall paper, shade store.
Pullouts. Perfect.
Solutions.
[pop music plays]
[Shane] Ooh.
[Jeff] That's all the tile and the coping?
[Shane] Yeah, I love the coping.
-Hey, Matt. -[Matt] How you doing?
-Good. How are you? -[Matt] Good to see you.
-[Jeff] Is she happy? -[Matt] Yeah.
[Jeff] She loves the spa?
[Matt] Yeah, the last time, she was, like, really happy with it.
What do you think? It looks... It looks good?
Honestly, what does it remind you of?
It feels like Capri out here.
[laughs]
I just want to get in the Jacuzzi with my whole family and think about Capri.
[laughs]
I think we're really accomplishing that.
Any other expenses here or...
How's the plumbing?
[Matt] The plumbing was good.
-[Jeff] Okay. -We did the pressure test.
Everything was good.
-This is all-new plumbing, correct? -This is all-new.
Yeah, the spa is all-new and then we did another two return lines new
and then the skimmer is new and the drain is new.
[Jeff] I was relieved.
It would have been another six, eight, $10,000 if they have to replumb the pool.
And then she wouldn't be able to get everything she wanted on her wish list.
And then that would just...
That just wouldn't have been good.
What's happening with the outdoor kitchen? Do we have all the appliances here?
[Shane] No.
What are we waiting for?
The sink, drawers, and doors should be here.
The barbecue is the week of the 14th. The fridge is not shipped.
So the barbecue is gonna be here in three days?
-Mm-hmm. Yeah. -Okay.
[Jeff] But have they given you any indication on what they wanna do
about the steps or what's happening there?
It just looks so bad.
So it really depends on what you guys decide to do with the step.
[Jeff] The wood there that's existing is Douglas fir.
We can actually just tie in the steps to the existing wood.
It's not a pretty wood.
The Ipe is more favorable because it is fire-resistant and termite-resistant
and it actually is just a prettier wood in general.
For the steps, 8,000. That was only materials for the Ipe.
As far as building the steps, all framework will be 75.
Obviously, 75 plus eight is 15-5 if we're gonna do it with Ipe.
Does that include also the actual...
No, it was just the steps.
-Just the steps are 15,000? -Yeah.
The problem is you can't have Ipe steps and then...
-[Matt] And then painting. -Right.
Yeah, to wrap this whole thing with Ipe as well,
that's gonna be another 8500 with the Ipe.
-So is that 24,000? -[Matt] Yeah.
[Jeff] So you're looking at 98 versus 24.
Very few people are just, you know, just give me an open checkbook.
But some people are more budget-sensitive than others.
I think the real problem with Mira's is that I don't know...
There's so much work that needs to be done,
I don't know where to stop.
So I'm stressed. I'm stressed about the budget there.
[Matt] You wanna talk to her about the steps?
I don't, but I will. I mean, you need steps.
How you gonna get down from the house? Ladders?
Jump?
You can jump.
All right, guys, we'll keep moving. Let me talk to her today about this.
[Matt] All right.
God, I sure hope... I sure hope you get paid.
[all laugh]
[pop music plays]
So let's go over the plan. Where is Andrew with the big plan? Do we know where he is?
No.
Maybe I'll take this call. This'll be quick.
Oh, yeah, that's fine. I don't have a problem with that.
-I'm gonna do it right now. -[phone rings]
-Hey, Chris. -[Chris] Hey, Joe.
-[Mira] Hi, Jeff. -Oh, hey, Mira.
-How are you? -[Mira] Good.
I wanted to talk to you about the, um... where we are with the budget.
And then also I did get pricing back from Matt on the steps.
If you wanna do the steps in Ipe, it is about $15,000
and that doesn't include the two decks.
-[Mira] How much? -15,000.
The Ipe, he said that the materials alone are $8,000.
[Chris] Oh, wow.
-[Mira] Uh, no. -[Chris laughs]
He's saying 9800 for the, uh, the Douglas fir steps,
which he will then paint.
And he said he would sand the two decks, paint the two decks, paint the steps.
Would you prefer a stain over a paint?
[Mira] Well, I think natural wood would probably be prettier.
-Yeah. -[Mira] But what do you think?
Look, I think the stain would be great. I think it would be much, much nicer.
Let me take another look at the budget and talk to Matt.
[Anthony] Jeff, get off the phone. I don't have all day!
Oh, shit. Okay. Bye.
[Andrew] Ooh, you in trouble. -[Jeff] Do you guys know Anthony Anderson?
[Anthony] Next deal once you're done with this one.
He's... He's literally screaming right now.
He's very impatient.
[all laugh]
-[Chris] Thanks, Jeff. -Thanks. Bye.
[Jeff] With the Ipe, we'd have to tear it all out
and redo the whole... all the decks and the stairs.
So the compromise we came up with is the Douglas fir.
And that's what we can afford at this point.
Um, yeah, I wanna go through all of this with you.
[Anthony] Okay.
Landscape is important to me.
I have a nice parcel of land here that I want it to feel
and look and be park-like.
And my concern was, with a lot of the tree removal,
there was gonna be a lot of hardscape and I was like,
"Jeff, I need you to soften it up a little bit.
I need some greenery back. I need some trees back."
[Jeff] I think you were right.
I was worried when you drove in that you were gonna see a bunch of white walls.
Mm-hmm.
I heard what you said. It was feeling, like, heavy in the hardscape.
So I don't want 5,000 linear feet of white walls.
Right.
[Jeff] So every single one of these walls is gonna define and differentiate
the difference between the driveway and the flower bed.
I understood what he was talking about.
Specifically, he was concerned about the area on the right
when you drive in the gate, how he wanted more lawn.
We kind of have to go back to the drawing board.
I pushed the wall further back and then I eliminated
a row of concrete rectangles.
I put a small, low flower bed in front of the two garden walls
'cause my concern was that it would be too much white walls.
So there was a few things I looked at
and kind of went back to the drawing board and tweaked.
Which made him happy.
It's minor fixes.
[Anthony] Yeah.
[Jeff] Look at this, it's gonna be amazing.
You can kind of get an idea of what your driveway is gonna look like.
-You know? -Mm-hmm.
All the revisions delayed us a bit, but he has ownership in it.
He, you know, he helped design it, really,
which I think it invests him and it makes him, I think, more excited.
You can get all your Maybachs, Rolls Royces, Ferraris.
-One of each. -For now, but okay.
To my surprise, he agreed with me.
And I was like, "Well, you should have never took the trees out to begin with."
[laughs]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Hi, how are you?
[Roselyn] I'm good. How are you? Hi, guys.
For Roselyn, we have kind of an accelerated presentation.
We had to really kind of put things together quickly
to make decisions before she left.
So we're kind of going off of the inspiration pictures.
We did want kind of a bolder pattern.
Are you gonna do the entire room wallpaper?
Or are you gonna do paint and wallpaper?
[Jeff] I'm gonna do the entire room wallpaper.
Kind of like your inspiration picture here.
[Roselyn] Okay.
[Jeff] So depending on the wallpaper that you choose,
we could grab a color out of the wallpaper
and paint all of the woodwork.
Got it.
Like, the crown molding, the baseboards, the paneling,
the new closet doors that are going in, solid doors.
Okay. Okay.
Um, then we did find you a pullout sofa.
-Okay. -So you can use it as a guest room.
-[Roselyn] What color, this? -[Jeff] It is.
-[Jeff] And it's like... Yeah. -[Roselyn] This?
We could do pillows, throws, all of that to bring color to it.
[Roselyn] Mm-hmm.
But it's a nice, neutral color,
so it will play well with whatever wallpaper you choose.
-Okay. -We also have two chairs that we found
that I really like that I can get a pretty good deal on.
[Roselyn] Well, it's just... I think it's this one that I have right here.
-[Jeff] It's very similar. -It is very similar.
-[Jeff] It's very similar. -[Roselyn] Okay, yeah.
-I think those would be really nice. -Very nice.
[Jeff] And then now I would like you to take a look at wallpaper.
And I don't know if you'd like your husband to weigh in.
That's fine.
No. Um...
[all laugh]
Okay, so no, no.
-[Jeff] Okay. -[Roselyn] So let's remove.
[Roselyn] Okay, no.
Okay. I feel like these are a little bit more fun.
They're fun and they're bolder. They're bolder choices.
-I love this for a bedroom. -Yes.
But I think for, like, the set that's fun and color and attractiveness.
One of the three bolder patterns.
Yeah, I think this is a little too subdued.
And this is actually where you're leaning anyway.
[Roselyn] Yeah.
I like this one because it has multiple greens.
-So you can pick up a lot more. -Right, you can pick up a lot more.
-And it brings in a little softness. -[Megan] Softness, right.
So it's kind of masculine and feminine. It's genderless.
It's genderless. Okay.
Okay, do you wanna do, uh... Do you wanna do a white panel then?
-[Roselyn] I think so. -Okay.
[Megan] Pretty.
-[Tyler] Do you like the carpets? -Yes.
-[Jeff] Is that, like, a dark green? -[Tyler] It's a dark green.
[Megan] I love that.
My thing is, because it's a small room,
again, are we going to make it look even more?
[Jeff] We have a lot of white accents now, so you're looking at a white ceiling
and all the white paneling and woodwork,
the white doors, the white closet doors.
I think you're fine either way.
-Really pretty. -I think it would read better on camera.
It's rich.
Roslyn had sent me a couple of inspiration pictures,
which, um, they were, you know, big, bold, graphic patterns.
Some people show me grasscloth and earth tones.
You know what I mean? Like, I didn't know what to expect.
I didn't know what she wanted.
So when she showed me those inspiration pictures, I was like,
"Oh, okay, this is what you want."
And it's also, remember this, it's an office,
but it's kind of like a set because she does her podcast,
but she does video as well.
So you want something that's gonna pop on screen.
We got to kind of have fun with it, you know, the choices.
-When we've designed homes for cameras... -Uh-huh.
...the darker colors really pop.
Really? Okay.
The lighter colors just kind of go away.
[Tyler] Especially butt up against, like, that.
[Jeff] Yeah, it's a nice contrast.
It's very elegant and it's an expensive-looking carpet.
Okay.
[Jeff] Okay. You're very decisive.
-[Shane] I like this. -[laughs]
-[Jeff] Wow. -[Shane] Did you hear me?
I'm really good.
Okay, now should we look at, um, shade?
[Jeff] Oh, wow.
There's no way the drape would ever be in the shot, right?
If I place a guest here and then I have one camera for us here
and then this camera is this, then you see it.
-[Jeff] Mm-hmm. Okay. -[Roselyn] Possible.
[Roselyn] Do you hate the deep purple?
I don't mind it.
[Tyler] Pulls in the pink.
-[Megan] That's pretty too. -[Tyler] Very pretty.
[Roselyn] That's very nice.
-[Shane] It's pretty. -[Megan] There you go.
-[Shane] It's really pretty. -[Megan] Winner, winner.
Yeah.
Okay, so now I wanna talk to you about timing.
I know that you have to go back to Puerto Rico, right?
Yeah.
-And then when do you leave? -Monday.
[Jeff] You leave this Monday?
And then do we see you again? Or do we just...
When do you think you're done with everything?
[Megan] I think the longest lead time would be the drape.
But it'll be here this month.
So a whole month. I'm not scheduled to come back at all.
The first season, I couldn't come back at all.
-Like, I was working crazy hours. -Yeah.
And if it doesn't happen, then I go, "Jeff, I'm, like, stranded."
-It's just way to heavy. -Totally understand.
-Then we have to do... -[Jeff] I get it.
-Zoom, FaceTime. -[Shane] FaceTime.
Yeah.
It's gonna be interesting to see if I'm gonna be able to fly back
and be there or if it's gonna be a Zoom.
You know, she's not gonna be able to see it for months and months and months.
So, you know, the only way she's gonna see it is over FaceTime.
I mean, she's very hands-on.
She's very decisive.
And she's very efficient.
And I think she probably would appreciate being there.
So that's not ideal.
But I do think that when she does see it, in 2024,
I think it's gonna be amazing.
You know, I think with your crazy life, you know, you need to come home.
You need structure.
-Comforting, warm, comfortable space. -I love. I love it. I agree.
All right, well, maybe we'll see each other again, maybe.
Yes. No. Thank you. Thank you. Bye-bye. Thank you.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Do you have the Ashlee and Evan budget?
[Shane] Yeah.
We paid for the bed, right?
We ordered it. It hasn't come in.
-Okay, and I need to buy... -Rug.
Sofa, chairs, night stands.
And then outside, I need... I need to do a few things outside too.
I gotta start wrapping up these projects.
[pop music plays]
-[Jeff] Hey. -[Ashlee] Hey.
[Shane] How are you?
-Hi, how's it going? -Hey.
[Jeff] It's beautiful.
[Megan] We see one piece that we like already.
[Jeff] Oh, really? You've already done a whole lap?
-No. No, we waited. -We just walked in.
[Ashlee] We need a bag drop.
[Megan] Yeah, a bag drop.
[Evan] I love this place so much. I haven't been in a while.
[Jeff] Wow. Beautiful.
[Evan] Ashlee, look at this chair.
[Ashlee] Look at this sitch.
[Megan] Ooh, that's a nice sitch. But he's gonna think it's crazy.
Look at this, a little bar scenario.
Ashlee keeps looking at it like, "Stop making this your man's den.
That looks crazy."
I heard about Church the first time from Evan
and he's purchased furniture accessories before.
They have all these kind of one-of-a-kind special pieces.
So I was concerned about the pricing.
[Evan] Oh, my God, those lamps are insane. Ashlee, look at these.
-Look how beautiful these lamps are. -[Ashlee] Oh, those are so pretty.
Those are gorgeous.
So we could pick up a few pieces here, but we can't do... we can't do a ton.
Do you like these?
I do. Are they way too low? Are they...
I don't know 'cause the width looks great. I don't know about the height.
[Megan] The width looks great. Yeah, I don't know about the height.
-I mean, they're gorgeous. -There's a drawer here too.
But you have to open them both like this to get the drawer.
[Megan] Right, but like the drawer.
-Those are gorgeous. -Mm-hmm.
Those are sick, yeah.
Yeah, but we need to see where...
[Ashlee] The height, like, where the window is?
Yeah, I just wanna...
[Megan] It could be a little higher than the window, I think, the sill.
Because it's pretty low, that window sill.
[Evan] Those are almost $5,000.
[Jeff] What, those? I know. That's 9,000 for both.
-[Evan] Yeah, that's a lot. -Hopefully, we can get a better deal.
I get it for maybe 8700.
[all laugh]
[Evan] Ashlee, look at this. Look at that.
[Ashlee] How dope is that?
Wait, this table is really cool too. Oh, my God.
[Megan gasps] Stop. Stop everything.
I mean...
[Ashlee] Oh, my God. Yeah.
[Megan] That could be a good table for in front of the fireplace.
-I know, with all the wood. -Yes.
'Cause I feel like it needs the...
[Megan] Yeah. Should we pull Jeff over here?
-Yes. -Yeah.
Go get him. We have a situation.
What's the situation?
[Megan] Ottoman, coffee table.
-Mm-hmm. -It's really cool.
It just pulls from the hide wallpaper.
[Ashlee] Do you love this coffee table?
I'm most married to the table. I love the table.
-[Ashlee] Me too. -[Megan] Love it.
-I love the table too. -[Ashlee] I love that chair too.
But can we measure that?
And then let's take pictures of these chairs.
I actually think that chair would be so cute with everything.
Mm-hmm.
I love the shape.
I actually do too.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
It's really sexy.
[Andrew] Maybe that color sofa would even work with the right pillows on it.
This situation is so cool.
It's actually very comfortable.
-It's... It's sexy. I like the chair. -It is.
It's cool.
I have such a hard time in here.
[Megan] 'Cause you want everything?
[Evan] I find little things that I like. That's mostly everything.
How much was the table?
2350.
This is good-priced.
-[Megan] Right. -[Shane] Yeah.
Considering, like, 2900 for the chairs.
And then we have... We only have, like...
a little bit of money left.
We need some cheap rugs.
-Not cheap, cheap, but... -[Megan] Inexpensive. Like, 800.
[Jeff] Oh, yeah. No problem. No problem.
What?
That's our pot budget. Pot's budget.
-Oh. -No, no, we'll still have money left.
Do you want me to go play the, like, "Come on, give us a deal"?
Then I can proceed.
Well, let's proceed with getting a discount.
You need to come with me 'cause you're the cute, young one.
Yeah, I'll stay back. [laughs]
Do we... Do we get a discount on it?
-What is the discount? -What do you think?
-So 15 off of this? -Yes.
-I can give you a copy with that. -Thank you.
-You going right now? -Minus 15.
-Look at you. -They'll give us 15 off.
Thank you.
[Jeff] Andrew, he's very good at what he does.
So, you know, he's a good negotiator.
And they they came down a little bit further for us,
which was great,
but I think it was also based on the amount of money we were spending, right?
So we weren't just buying one bowl.
The more money we spent and the more pieces we wanted to buy,
I think they just became more, you know, more aggressive with their pricing.
It worked out great.
Do you guys wanna come over to my house?
Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna come over.
-[Jeff] I'll see you at my house then. -I'm so excited.
[Ashlee] Yay, I'm excited to see your house.
-I'll see you later. -[Ashlee] All right, see you there.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Let me get you a glass.
-Megan, you want some champagne? -[Megan] Sure.
Supposed to be doing a dry January, but what the hell.
[Jeff] Here you go.
[Andrew] Did you show him your artwork yet?
[Evan] No, I will.
See, this is all of the shit in the house. That's one of the pieces.
I think we should take a couple of them and frame them
and put them in your bedroom.
Because, A, we don't have any more money for art and, B, I like it.
-Cheers. -[all] Cheers.
To a beautiful primary bedroom.
By the way, um, Andrew got an additional 15% off.
[Megan] Yay.
What, today?
So they came down to 11 for the night stands, the sofa,
-the table, and the two chairs. -[Megan] Great.
So then we still have a little money.
That's great.
So we need to do rugs and then a couple accessories.
[Megan] Yep. A plant.
[Jeff] If we can frame his art, that would be great.
That would be awesome.
Can you just pick him up and put him on the ground?
I'm gonna have to get some water.
-I got that. -No no, no. I'll take care of it.
[Megan] He's gonna attack you.
What do you mean? He's so sweet.
[Megan] No. Cat, they turn.
[all laugh]
-Bringing a portable party, party. -Oh, my God.
[Andrew] Leave it, leave it.
[Jeff] I knew that was gonna happen. I knew that was gonna happen.
-It's the damn cat. -[Jeff] I know. No, it's not your fault.
I knew he was gonna do it.
He was just letting you know, like, "Don't take me off the table again
'cause it's going down."
[Megan] Oh, Carver.
[Jeff] You're involved with Fortune's.
Yes.
[Jeff] So now I am going to be working on the interior of Fortune's house.
Sometimes I can't leave.
I mean, they just keep adding things and adding things.
[laughs]
You're keeping this right now because you need a place to sit, correct?
[Fortune] Yes, but eventually it will go.
[Jeff] And then we have the bar cart, the table. What's in here?
Don't open it. All of my dirty panties are in there.
[all laugh]
[Megan] Oh, so cute.
-I love these chairs. -[Megan] They're really pretty.
So sofa, small, like, compact coffee table.
Yeah.
A little either side table or side table here.
Great. That's it.
So good.
I don't think I've ever seen a room like this.
[Jeff] Well, I'm glad you guys are happy. You've been really fun to work with.
Yeah, we love you guys. You guys are never leaving us.
How did you allow them to make that mistake?
What are you talking about?
Last time I was here, Jeff was showing me the tiles
on our water feature in the front yard.
Something just didn't seem right.
And then when I left my property and went back home, it hit me.
They installed the wrong tile.
