[upbeat music]
Are you ready to see the bathrooms?
-Are we doing bathrooms and kitchen? -Yeah. No.
Christina's house is slowly evolving into a much larger project.
Look how huge this tub...
-[Jeff] This is stupid. -It's so stupid!
But all of this adds value to the house.
-We'll address this. -Okay.
This is what it's been looking like for the last six weeks.
I hoped my pool would take three months, it's been a year.
We can fill the pool. In regards to the outdoor kitchen.
It's gonna cost you, unfortunately, an additional $30,000.
When can we ******* get it started?
So, where's your kitchen sink gonna be?
One here and one here. Range there.
Stu helped me with the whole kitchen.
I've been in a relationship with Stu on and off for 18 months.
It is kind of committed, but it's on and off.
This would be my closet. And then, if Stu stops ******* up,
he'll be over there.
So, that one's gonna be empty.
[Jeff laughs]
[upbeat music]
Cute folder.
Bananas and lips. [chuckles]
I saw everybody else comes with something.
I always tell you I'm...
I just found a bananas and lips folder. It doesn't have anything in it,
but I look important.
Are you the banana or the lips?
[laughs]
I always feel bad. I'm like, here has always got something.
Um, Jamie always has something.
I just pretend, like, on my phone. But really, I'm taking a selfie.
-[laughing] -Ooh! That's good information!
All right, do we start with Christina?
[Jamie] Sure. Should we get Megan on the phone?
-You're her representative. -Okay.
[Jeff] Megan said she was going to Las Vegas to meet with a design client.
So, she delegated Christina Ricci's project management to Jamie Lee.
There was a list of like six items, right?
So, there was the refrigerator outlet. And then, there was
removing the two recessed above, what is going to be the island.
Christina moved out of the house.
She wants the house done soon as she's putting it on the market.
So, I mean, I have basically the next few weeks
to get her kitchen done and her primary bath done.
That's not a lot of time.
So, we have two new clients, Noah Beck and Regina Hall.
[Tyler] I love Noah Beck.
Oh, my God, he's so fun on TikTok.
I don't think I can focus around him.
[Andrew] Who's Noah Beck?
[music playing on phone]
He's really cute.
OMG. He's gorgeous.
I don't really follow that many people on Instagram or TikTok.
Certainly not kids.
It's not really my demo, I think.
All right. So, we need to...
Noah recently purchased a new townhouse in West Hollywood.
He was doing some light remodeling and furnishing.
What's next. We have Noah, we have Regina.
-We have Christina. -Anthony.
[Jeff] At Anthony's, we need to make a lot of progress, very quickly.
It's gonna be done. We're done.
-The plants are gonna go in this Saturday. -Okay.
The grass is done. It's just the outdoor kitchen.
[Jeff] I'd like the putting green, the landscaping,
the pool, the pergola and the...
We can get it.
Get it done.
Everything was kind of on hold.
And it all was dependent on getting the permit for the pergola.
So, that's what was frustrating. Anthony is like, why has nothing happened?
So now, we're focusing on getting the kitchen going.
And then, Anthony wanted to add a putting green.
But it is the number one priority to plaster that pool and fill it with water.
Fortunately, Anthony is out of town for two weeks.
When he comes back, there has to be water in that pool.
Knock that stuff out so we can finish.
Do you want me to send you a list?
-I'll send you a list. -Okay, send me a list.
That makes it easy. That way, my fake folder,
that has nothing in it looks like I'm really doing something.
[laughing]
[upbeat music]
So... who is this kid? Does he have a talent?
He just posts like dances and skits.
What does that mean? So...
Wow! TikTok, 34 million followers.
How do you build that many followers? What did he do?
He's gorgeous. That's what he's famous for.
Where are you going? Turn left.
Okay, so you're looking at pictures of him and now we're lost.
-We're not lost. It's very close. -Your job is to get me to his house.
I have to familiarize myself with our client.
How familiar are you planning on being?
[upbeat music]
[doorbell rings]
-Hey. How are you, I'm Jeff. -Hey-hey!
How are you? Noah. Good to meet you.
Pleasure. How's it going? Noah. Nice to meet you.
I'm Noah Beck, and I am a social media content creator
as well as athlete and actor.
["Let's Roll" by Ol' Big Bear] ♪ I'm on a roll ♪
♪ And I’ve been dreaming of sunshine ♪
I would say most people recognize me from TikTok.
♪ Settle into the moment Let’s go, oh, oh ♪
I made a bet with my sister
that in two weeks I can have more followers than you.
And then, that night, I made like two videos and posted them.
I woke up the next morning to 20,000 followers, which was kind of nuts.
And uh, the videos, like, blew up. It was crazy.
So, I bought the place last August.
We installed the brick and everything, which was pretty cool. Yeah.
I went for like, New York loft vibe in the middle of WeHo.
[Jeff] And then, will those shelves stay there, or...
No, those can be gone. Those are just for storage now.
Just temporary, okay.
Being able to buy my first place in West Hollywood was pretty special.
We've added a few things. And I would say, renovation-wise,
we were about 50-60% done.
But the deadline was supposed to be a lot sooner.
So, I'm kind of looking to pivot and I really need Jeff's help.
[Jeff] You have a roof leak?
[Noah] I think they found a leak or something.
Prior to this, I hired a contractor.
So, they've been working on it.
I'm not exactly sure why they opened this up.
I walked in and it was... It was a wreck.
The place was a wreck. There was plastic everywhere.
Furniture was pushed against the wall. There was a lot of boxes.
Why does this house look like this? What is going on with the ceiling?
And what's taking so long to fix it?
Did you do the kitchen? 'Cause that's beautiful.
-This is my vision, yes. -It's nice.
So, this is a similar vibe to what I'm going for for the whole house.
I think I tend to go towards dark, modern,
almost like industrial loft vibe.
And then, what is that window back there?
[Noah] That window leads into the second living room,
which I've made into a screening room.
Screening room. It's a really nice kitchen, don't you think?
[Shane] It's beautiful.
[Jeff] Okay, let's look upstairs. -Let's do it.
It was good that he already did one room so I can kinda get an idea of his vibe.
He still has a lot, lot more to do.
This is the storage room. Just like every other room, pretty much.
-You have a lot of stuff. -Again, a lot of stuff, for sure.
-You can't even get around the place. -Yeah.
Drink a lot of water, take vitamins, drink wellness shots.
-Don't read all of that. -Check on friends and family.
I could do better.
[Jeff] No ego. I should put that on my board.
Gonna put that on your computer so you see it every day.
This is really a lot of responsibility here.
[Shane] How's your Spanish coming?
Not...
On his resume, he said he was fluent in Spanish.
-He's not. He lied. -Does he get the job then, at least?
-Sí. -Yeah?
In a room of white people, I speak Spanish.
-Okay, what's next? -And now, we're going to the primary.
[Noah] This is where I've been setting up shop.
-[Shane] Mm-hmm. -Yeah.
The bathroom's a mess, so enter at your own risk.
[Jeff] Thanks for cleaning up for us.
He doesn't have time. He has to stretch, read ten pages, learn Spanish. It's a lot.
-[Tyler] He's very busy. -[Jeff] It's a lot of commitment.
I have attachment issues, and I need to work on that.
I didn't really grow up with a lot, so what's mine, I want to keep.
What's most important to you?
I feel like I would really...
love and appreciate the help in the living and dining room.
I feel that would be very nice. Everything else is put on hold.
I desperately need help in there.
Where are you putting dining?
I was thinking like TV here, and then, making this kind of like,
sofa and like, coffee table or something. Then having a space right here,
and then having some kind of table.
I feel like this calls for living room and that calls for dining room.
Yeah, exactly.
The place will feel bigger once this stuff comes out.
What is all of this?
This stuff in boxes is like... Under here, there's like toilets.
-Is that a kitchen sink? -[Noah] Probably.
It is. It's an under mount kitchen sink.
[Tyler] Is there no sink?
There is. That's why I'm wondering why there's a second sink.
[Noah] I don't know.
He's a kid. He's like 22 years old. I mean, who buys their first house at 22?
He was in college, like, not too long ago.
I mean, I think he was thrown into this pretty quickly.
Um, he's had overnight success. And I think it's a lot to manage.
Do they not email you what's happening?
-[Noah] They do. -Do you read the emails?
Not as much as I should.
-Okay. Okay. -Yeah, yeah. [chuckles]
I don't know if he feels confident enough
to like handle these contractor issues.
It's a lot of responsibility. How old are you, 22 or something?
Twenty-two.
I was living with three roommates when I was 22.
No, I was still in college.
It's impressive, what you've done.
I think he needs guidance. He needs me to do the great room.
I think there's issues with execution.
I think he has an idea of what he wants.
I don't know if anyone's really managing the job.
So, I think honestly we got there just in time.
-This could be great. -Yeah.
We could do a whole living room set up, dining room, rug...
Yeah.
...paint, artwork, lighting. I mean, it could be pretty fantastic.
Like the kitchen.
[Noah] Yeah, right.
Then, we could fix this thing for you.
Love it.
First we have to fix the leak in the roof. Then we have to re-drywall the ceiling,
paint the walls, and then, we will furnish.
The big thing is to just put things into storage.
Can't start construction until we get rid of everything.
I can't do any work until he cleans out the great room.
Yeah. There's no room to work.
Are you dating? Do you bring people back here?
No, I'm embarrassed to have people over, and I don't.
I would never sign up for a TV show...
[laughs]
You can't not have people helping you.
I actually have assistant meetings tomorrow. So, hopefully I find one.
Don't be like me and just hire the cute ones.
-I promise you... -I'm great at my job.
You're gonna regret it. You need people who are smart and competent.
[chuckles]
I'm sure there's another Shane out there somewhere.
[Noah] If I'm lucky.
I would really love Jeff's help. It's gonna be cool to pick his brain
on what he thinks is best for the space. So, I'm very excited to collab with Jeff.
I think when it all comes together, I'm really excited for it.
[Jeff] Thanks, Noah.
Lovely. Thanks you guys, so much.
Your packages are here.
Just while we were talking I get more packages.
-Probably more shoes. -[laughs]
[upbeat music]
I gained seven pounds in two weeks. I mean, how did that happen?
It's happy weight.
Especially with you two... What's for lunch, what's for dinner?
We're literally at the [indistinct] cutting our salads
and you're looking up the menu for Gigi's to go out.
I know.
We're getting along really well, Stu and I.
And it seems to be after each break we go longer spans before the fights.
But we're due for a break-up in like two weeks.
All right, let me talk to Stu.
-[Shane] Okay. -[line ringing]
Hi, how are you?
I gained seven pounds in two weeks.
[Stu] That's, you know, that's you on your Chili's and your Olive Gardens
-and Krispy Kreme... -We haven't been to those places.
-Carl's Jr. -Yeah, but that's different.
In 'n Out.
Yeah, that was good.
I just think at my age, I don't want like the heaviness and the drama.
I just kinda want to just have fun and enjoy my life.
[Stu] I'm getting food for the house. I'll drop it off later.
What are you making?
[Stu] Some roast potatoes and I have some pork tenderloin and some broccolini.
Sounds nice, thank you.
[Producer] I mean you're smiling...
you look really happy right now.
I'm just thinking about lunch.
In all honesty, I'm hungry.
All right, why don't we jointly, together, try to lose weight?
Let's not work against each other.
[Stu] Yeah, okay, so, no alcohol this week, okay?
I don't want to be, he has a martini in the fridge for you.
I think one martini in lieu of dinner is fine.
But we cannot open up any wine.
-Wine is bad, that's all sugar. -The wine is bad.
[Stu] Just... yeah.
One martini that I sip over two hours is fine.
That's good for you.
[Jeff laughing] You're so funny.
[upbeat music]
Where are we going, by the way? What city?
R-Reseda.
So, we're going to Regina Hall's rental property.
-Yes. -Are there tenants there right now?
-Or is it vacant? -I believe it's vacant now.
What I would say is... This is what you do.
"I'm assuming, Jeff, it's vacant, but I don't know for sure.
Let me confirm of we'll see when we get there."
You answer questions like you know the answer.
I give you the best information that I have.
Is that him? Let me peek. There he is!
Wow, this is nice! You don't need anything done here.
Wow, this is really nice.
My name is Regina Hall and I am an actress, producer.
Lady of the evening... No, I'm not.
Just actress, producer.
Most people stop me for Scary Movie, Girl's Trip, Best Man.
And probably Think Like a Man.
-Look at the back yard, it's huge! -[Regina] Yeah. Mm-hmm.
-So, you did the work. -I bought it like this.
Just the furnishings.
You did the furniture, okay. So, it was done like this.
-It was done like this. -Let's see it.
I'll show you where the problem is.
I wanted to get into investment properties.
A big thing for me was my mom passed away suddenly.
I wanted my family, when they came to have a place to stay
for awhile, if they wanted to.
So, I came and found this place. It's a three bedroom, two bath.
It's quaint and was intimate, but also spacious enough on the inside.
I've definitely been using this place as a rental.
I mean, I have had some issues and things that weren't really working.
I'm very excited for Jeff to come in and get a feel of the space.
Now, this was done wrong. This did have a door,
but this was fitted... Only an electric could fit here
but of course, it's gas back there, so you couldn't.
We took the door off and did a curtain.
I don't love that.
He's so talented, I'm looking for his eye to elevate the layout.
This is the office. Non-traditional office.
And of course, this is the bathroom which feels like it should be in a bedroom.
That's a full bath but it's not connected to anything.
So, I think that this should be a powder room.
And I think that this should be a bathroom because we don't need this office.
Powder room is easy. This...
we leave it the way it is, we just close the wall.
and you're taking that area where the tub is
and you're giving it to that closet.
Now we could do a big, full-size stackable washer and dryer,
and you have a nice, big, deep closet.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
She's made some good investments. And for a rental property, it's very nice.
She's done a really cute job, but it's just the floor plan is funky.
So, here's a bedroom. They're cute little bedrooms.
[Jeff] Yes, they are.
Here's another bedroom, very simple.
And then, I consider this more of the larger bedroom.
-[Shane] This is a short-term rental. -[Regina] Mm-hmm.
So, you don't need an office. Why would you do an office?
I don't know. It's kind of nice to have that extra room.
[Shane] For what?
Two bedrooms and an office?
That was a good point.
He's smart. Sometimes he says smart things.
But sometimes he says really dumb things.
The duality.
[laughing]
There's two existing bathrooms that are very, very tight.
It's limited to who you'd rent to.
So, if somebody's coming out here with a family,
I think that could pose as a problem. I feel like adding a bathroom
will appeal to a broader audience.
We don't want to mess around with walls and everything.
This becomes a really nice, big bathroom
that could serve that bedroom and that bedroom.
I feel like that adds value.
Mm-hmm, oh, for sure.
This could be really easy. The only thing I have to do
is I have to jackhammer the floor to get a drain line and plumbing and all of that.
So, this is gonna be a very nice, big, spacious bathroom.
It's funny, 'cause it's not the designated primary bathroom,
but I would see someone use this as the primary bathroom.
Just 'cause there's so much room and storage.
It's weird that the one room that has a bathroom is not a bedroom.
It has no closet, so you can't make that a bedroom.
This is the first time I'm getting to see Jeff in action.
Oh, shit.
I think I loved having Jeff really understand the importance
of the flow of the house and bathroom, and the things that weren't really working.
This is gonna go back and we can put doors.
-Or sliding doors. -Yeah.
I have my idea, and I'm excited to see his idea,
and then see how close or different they are.
Let's see if we bump heads or butts.
Bumpin' it out or bumpin' it out. I don't know.
-Do I get hugs? -Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

-You want to leave hot and sweaty. -Mm-hmm.
Would you like some dental floss for Noah?
Yeah, I need to make some room.

[Jeff] How's it going?
It's going.
-It's looking cleaner. -It's way cleaner.
We did some damage since you were here.
[Jeff] You did. It looks great.
So, ideally, what I'd like to do, is I'd like to replace the floors,
the baseboards. Your furniture can go into storage for now.
Honestly, a storage unit could probably be very beneficial.
The shelves can go, and these dressers are going?
Yeah.
-I wouldn't use these chairs. -No, those can go.
-We can drywall, we can paint. -Perfect.
-Are you opposed to green? -No.
By redoing the great room, I think it is adding value.
The overall plan is we're gonna split the room
and we're gonna do a dining room and living room for sure.
Repair the leak in the roof, replace the floors, all new furniture,
new TV, rug, art, um, the lighting plan was totally off.
I just want to make sure that it coordinates with what he already has.
Little bit more moody, very masculine space.
I know you got this sofa for this space,
but would you be open to a sectional? Like a comfortable sectional?
Okay.
Do you have any hesitation? It looks like you do.
You can always speak up.
It's kinda... I think...
I feel like seeing it...
[Shane] Would it be helpful to look at inspiration pictures?
What is this?
Just like inspiration pictures of...
-Like a vibe. -Like a Pinterest board.
I love like a New York loft type feel.
[Jeff] Love.
[Noah] I love the dark and then the lighter is nice.
But something dark, moody.
Yeah. I think the best bet is you guys kinda just pulling inspo
of what you think would look best,
-then me green-lighting it there. -Right.
When it comes to these things, I don't understand the lingo.
So, I'm like, okay, like, yeah. Go for it if you think that's best.
We should look at what happens with the floors.
This doesn't even look like real wood.
We could find something you like better,
like a wide plank, hand-distressed. We could still go dark.
Or maybe something even with variation.
I am curious to see how the floors make it look different.
I think it could definitely change the vibe in here.
It's one of those things I'm trusting Jeff and the team to figure out.
Yeah. Ana, I think it's really important you get that storage in here.
But I don't know what size you need.
What do I have?
You have a big one. You don't need one that big.
What about the storage unit?
[laughs]
Why would I know how big your unit is?
You rented it.
Eight months ago.
-It's like this whole thing. -It's probably 10 by 20.
Yeah, there you go. You should've said that.
-That's accurate. -You don't like when I make shit up.
He gets really mad.
He will say things so convincing, but he doesn't know the answer.
He makes it up, he assumes.
I love to just make stuff up.
Okay.
[upbeat music]
Is that a futon?
Is that a squatter? That pillow's from the trash.
-No one is staying here. -Not that I know of.
Do you think she kicked out her husband?
Let's ask her who's sleeping here.
We've got a couple different objectives with Christina's house.
We're doing the kitchen, the primary bathroom.
That's all going to be beautiful. But not everything is getting done.
And it could be moving quicker.
What are we doing with the appliances? Does she want to donate them?
What's the name of that charity we made up?
Oh, it's going to the shelter for those coming out of bad situations.
That sounds legit.
What about "Clean the Oceans," or some shit?
"Save Wildlife," or whatever.
Well, why would wildlife want appliances?
[laughs]
Shane, seriously?
The cabinets have been ordered, right?
Ahem. Okay, so, that's the thing.
I spoke with Edik, it's gonna take eight to ten weeks.
When does Megan come back? We have a lot to do here.
I really don't know.
Of all the days, why did she go today?
The people that work with me; Megan, Andrew, Tyler...
they have their own clients as well.
But there's certain things that I need.
I need to know things are gonna get done
and that people are gonna communicate with me.
But Megan called with less than a 48 hour notice and said she was going out of town.
to Las Vegas to meet with a design client.
Well, I needed you.
Why didn't she go on the weekend? Do you know?
'Cause she didn't want to give up her weekend?
No, I think it was an emergency call.
-A design emergency? -Mm-hmm.
She's not a doctor. I really wanted to meet with Megan, the project manager.
Not her assistant.
So, why did she choose the day that you had already committed to me?
I have a lot of other projects that need my attention.
So, that's where the pressure is.
It doesn't sit well with me. 'Cause I don't feel like a priority.
[Jamie] I do not know any of the details.
Okay. This house needs a lot of work. It's a lot of work.

[Teka] Who's the good boy? Milo is a good boy.
I think he had four accidents in one day over the weekend.
Absolutely. Because right now, he has to learn the routine in this house.
-Yes. -At his house, he knows.
-Well, he's basically here now. -He lives here now.
As far as Stu and I, I didn't think this was ever gonna be a thing.
Like this ever could be a committed, monogamous relationship.
I mean, we're pretty much living together now.
He's there almost every night. And his dog lives at my house.
Stu brought him over and never took him home.
Sometimes when we go on a walk, Toby's different with him.
I'm like, Jeff, give me the leash.
Then he's with me and he just goes off. Is he terrified of him?
-No. What it is... -No, you are.
You have to realize what I was dealing with when I started dating him.
I mean, he's the life of the party, dating all the time,
independent playboy kinda guy.
But ******* fun. Like, really fun.
But what happened is,
he slowly started making big, big changes in his life,
where the parties weren't as important. He wasn't out every night until 2:00 AM.
He's matured and grown up, and learned from past mistakes.
The difference between the two dogs is Toby is the life of the party.
He's like, everything's great.
But when you call him, he might think he's in trouble.
-So, he shuts down. -Yes.
That's what goes in his mind.
-[Jeff] Toby. -Like now, watch.
[Jeff] Come here.
When they're insecure, they try to go around the wall to feel safer.
Is that why you go around the wall too?
[laughs]
He never comes straight, he's always going around.
I should be like Milo.
I was with somebody for ten years. We had a kid together.
He would never go to therapy. Ever. Never go to counseling.
Couple's counseling, nothing. Would never, ever, ever even consider it.
I mean, six months in, Stu's like, let's go to counseling.
I mean, that said a lot to me.
That said, like, okay, you're dedicated. You want this to work.
[Producer] The white dog pooped over here.
Stu is gonna clean this up. Are you kidding?
I flushed it down the toilet. It's cleaned up.
Could you get the spray and spray the floor?
Get the... You're not done yet. Get the spray and spray the floor
so he doesn't go there again.

-[Matt] What? So? -Here's Jeff.
He hasn't seen the putting green or anything yet.
Hey.
Good morning.
This looks great!
We've finally resolved the permit issue.
Now we're about to poor the slab and then we can start building the pergola.
In the meantime, because Anthony has been very patiently waiting,
we have to accomplish other things in the yard.
Landscaping is happening, the putting green is finished.
The pool has now been plastered. So, I think now,
we have to get the pool filled because that seems to be number one on his list.
This is really nice.
It came out good.
[Jeff] This looks amazing.
When does the pool get filled?
If he comes home and that pool doesn't have water,
-he's gonna lose his ****. -He'll do it Friday.
If he comes home without water, we're all gonna get phone calls.
Timeline on this: we pour the foundation today, do rebar Friday.
Maybe we can just pour it on Friday.
If he gets home and we have a slab and we have water,
he's gonna be very happy. At least he'll have,
you know, 75% of his back yard to use in the meantime.
They're making this concrete thicker and heavier than the swimming pool concrete.
Uh, are we overbuilding this?
This is gonna be the most expensive pergola in Los Angeles.
This is gonna be here until the end of time.

-[Jeff] How long are you in town? -I leave the 31st.
-[Jeff] For how long? -Four days.
Oh. Where you goin'?
-[Noah] Mexico. -Oh, nice.
This like resort in Tulum, Mexico reached out to my team
and said, "We'd love to invite Noah out."
What is expected? That you just post while you're there?
Typically, it's like, post here, tag us here.
And they literally specified in bold on the bottom, they were like,
no obligations required. We just want to build a relationship with Noah.
[Jeff] Oh. Shane, are you gonna be traveling?
-I'm actually doing Japan. -You are?
I was invited to an event. I just have to post.
Gotcha.
[laughs]
[upbeat music]
We're just gonna kinda follow you.
Pick whatever you like, just tell us, we'll take pictures.
We already have an idea of what the look is, right.
So, we kind of have to stay consistent with what he's done
in the rooms that he's already remodeled. He's more moody.
The only thing is, there's only so much gray we can do.
I wouldn't mind, you know, some lighter furniture pieces for contrast.
I kind of like the idea of just a sleek leather couch.
This feels old school, like we used to buy eight years ago.
So, I feel like I'm gonna try to steer him in a different direction.
-The leather's pretty. -I like this a lot.
I think the scale's perfect. You can get three Jeffs on here.
And it's very comfortable.
I love the leather, love the color. I love the scale.
-You like this? -I like this a lot.
Me too.
I try to ask, do you like that, what do you think of that.
If you don't like it, tell me.
because it would be very easy to bulldoze him.
Again, it's not taking advantage. I think if you get a really strong person,
I could see where his opinions would get lost.
[upbeat music]
There's a spaceship.
[Shane] I feel like it's very cozy.
There's no way! What?!
We could do this instead of a dining set up.
You want to sit in there? Children must be accompanied by an adult.
[chuckles]
-How much is this again? -$130,000.
What a cool meeting spot. I'd take my Zooms there.
Where are you now, Noah? You don't want to know.
[Tyler] Let's look at the dining table and chairs.
-Maybe an oval. -It looks nice.
It'd bring in a soft curve 'cause everything's so linear.
The ones behind Shane. Are those too wild?
-[Noah] Those are funky. -[Tyler] I think they're kinda cool.
They're kinda fun.
[Tyler] Do you want to put it at the table?
That is cool, actually.
-[Tyler] It looks cool. -Next to the brick too.
-Might be kinda fun. -Do you want to sit in it?
-What do you think? -They're different.
I don't think I'm gonna go to anyone's house and they'll have these.
I love the table.
I'm actually glad you're here, Noah. This is good.
-Okay, let's keep going through. -Thanks.
That was pretty successful. I think after a few laps in that store,
I think we got kind of a clear idea of what he wanted.
-Are you happy? -[Noah] I am.
Yeah. I'm, like, I really like the layout of like, what we've done.
-It took a minute but we got it. -[Noah] Yeah.
[upbeat music]
[Jeff] My God, the pool looks great.
Should we go swimming?
[Matt] Is Jeff going to go golfing?
[laughs]
What's up, Drew? How are you?
Wow, the pool's beautiful, Matt. It really is.
Is he home? Has he seen it?
No, he comes home tomorrow, I think.
If there was no water in that pool, that would've been bad.
My goal was to make the back yard more functional, more usable.
Now the pool is gorgeous. Something had to happen while he was gone.
We're seeing a lot of progress very quickly.
So, that was good.
-Is that gonna be blue enough? -It's a perfect amount of blue.
He was leaning towards that resort...
Like bad resort...
Like cheap Mexico resort blue.
-Very blue? Like candy blue? -Yeah.
Kinda.
Like all-inclusive, buffets. It's like Mazatlan.
I know right now it's a little murky
[Matt] Now because of the chemicals but it'll be very clear once we're done.
So, this is already going up. When is your ground cover going in?
-Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday. -[Jeff] Okay.
-It'll be backfilled. -It will all be full of ground cover.
[Matt] Yes.
All right, so, ground cover this weekend. This is then gonna start tomorrow, Matt?
-[Matt] Yeah. -Okay.
I know I always ask you about this, but with the lawn and the faux lawn,
do you just do that last, are you thinking?
-Mm-hmm. -Okay.
There's been a lot of problems and setbacks,
but it's no one person's fault.
I think Andrew got a lot accomplished in just a very short period.
So, the pergola is almost completed.
I still have to do the BBQ area and the tile and all of that,
but I can at least see the end. You know, for awhile there, I couldn't.
I mean, that's the longest order I've ever seen.
What is that?
A vente ice-caramel macchiato with oat milk blonde espresso,
risotto, upside down, five pumps of sugar free vanilla,
no vanilla syrup, light caramel drizzle...
-That's like a grocery list. -That's your order?
That's one of the longest orders I've ever heard.
-It keeps going. -It sounded like five orders.
-All right. Nice to see you, Matt. -[Matt] All right.

Could use a fountain right here.
Well, they gotta get that working again.
Oh, they have one. Probably want a clean out first.
-Hey, how are you? -Pretty good.
Did you get rid of the appliances?
Um, no.
If I got to a jobsite on a Tuesday,
and now I have a meeting the following Tuesday,
and very little has happened between Tuesday and Tuesday,
we've got a problem. Megan delegated to Jamie.
I don't even know if she even knows what's going on.
It really should be a conversation.
And it shouldn't be, I'm not gonna be there.
[Jamie] These are getting taken out in the next day or so.
Okay. What's happening with the painter?
He's calling me at the end of the day to let me know
if he can come tomorrow or Thursday.
-Did you talk to him about electrical? -Yes, I talked to Kevin.
Do we know what day Kevin is actually starting?
Um... from what I understood, they're starting this week.
Push them, because they haven't done shit for two weeks.
-Kevin? -Nobody's done anything for two weeks.
Great.
Christina's kitchen is starting to make me a bit nervous.
Even though Christina has not given me a drop dead date yet,
I imagine after she makes a few rent payments
in addition to her mortgage payments, that that's gonna start putting
a lot of pressure on her. And then, in turn, that means pressure on me
to finish so she can get the house sold.
You're looking at eight weeks to do this and upstairs. We have nothing.
I'm gonna have a conversation with Megan.
I think she's busy. I don't know what she's doing or where she is.
I don't think she's prioritizing this house.
No, obviously not. There's not really a lot going on.
They demo'd, left, and never came back.
I'm gonna have a conversation with Megan.
I didn't hire Jamie. I hired you. You're the person I want to meet with.
And I'm not asking to meet with you every day. Once a week.
'Cause there's a lot of people that would love to be in Megan's position.
Get this done so we can get out.
-[Jamie] Yes, sir. -[Jeff] This place is depressing.

-I mean, this just looks so nice. -So chic.
-Whoa. -What do you think?
It's amazing.

It's so, like, grown-up feeling. It's so, like, mature. Wow!
I vividly remember what it was before it was this.
It looks amazing. It's like everything that I wanted.
We've done well here, I think.
What do you think? All the furniture is what you picked.
[Noah] It's so cool.
[Jeff] We used your barstools. Those are nice.
-Everything else is new. -I don't think you saw the chandelier yet.
No, I just saw that. It's so cool.
Obviously, I've seen all these pieces. But all of them together now,
everything is just so cohesive and it makes sense and I love it.
The moodiness, but also mature, straight out of a catalog.
Everything is perfectly fluffed, it's amazing.
I love the little splashes of black to match the brick, the table. It's amazing.
-[Jeff] You do love the new floors, Noah? -[Noah] I love 'em.
[Jeff] I love it. I'm happy.
-Yeah. -I love the green.
-It's really nice. -The green with the black...
It's better than the blue.
It connects to what you've already done very nicely.
It all just feels very consistent.
Noah's place before was chaos.
It was a giant storage unit, really. I mean, it wasn't even furnished.
It was a chaotic mess. And not only that, the roof was leaking.
So, we kind of put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
This is where you would entertain a little bit more formally.
If you have people over, you'll open a bottle of wine.
I think this is where you'd hang out.
-That's a real plant? -It's a real plant.
I'm excited to become a plant parent. I love it.
What's nice now is that the entire lower floor,
which is all the public rooms, is completed.
So, if he is going to entertain, he can do that now
without making excuses.
I think that the table's a great place to eat clean and have smaller portions.
Of course.
I think that you could exercise over there if you really wanted to.
I think you can check on your family and friends...
Right, right, here we go.
I'm expecting a lot of Instagram posts in this room.
I didn't know what to expect, but I think I'm a lot more open now.
Obviously, they did a great job, they figured me out pretty quickly
and... my mind has been opened, I guess.
Like, I want to live in here for quite some time.
Well, the place looks great, Noah. I mean...
-I love it. -[Jeff] You picked everything out.
I think you just needed us to put it all together.
It was nice working with you. You were a pleasure to work with.
-Thank you. -I'll probably see you at the gym.
-Hopefully. -I got a lot.
[laughs]
It was fun doing that job because Noah has such a masculine aesthetic.
-Thank you so much for everything. -All right, you're welcome.
And he was very curious. He was very interested.
And I think that helped the process for him.
Because we really nailed what he wanted.
-Bye, guys. -See you guys.
[Ana] Yay, new home! Woo!
It's so cool.
It's so great.
It's so nice.
I miss Noah.
I mean, it's been eleven minutes.
-I'm never going to see him again. -[laughs]

♪ You let me down too many times And left me alone... ♪
Oh, wow, they've got just a wonderful selection here.
Well, it's breakfast, it's lunch, and it's dinner.
Wow.
-You really have options. -Have you been here before?
We've ordered out but I've never been in here.
Are we gonna split the club and then split a salad?
Is that the plan? Or did you want to...
Or a Southwest?
-Asian chopped. -If you want to cross the border.
What about a med... Do you want to do a med salad, or...
Don't do the quinoa beet salad. Bleh.
That sounds terrible.
Okay, we'll do the Southwest and we'll do the club.
Thank you, Matt.
All right, what happened to you on Tuesday?
I got a call on Sunday from my old clients on Karen Drive.
They got the keys to their house in Vegas,
and they were having a floor thing and want to move in three weeks,
but they need the floors. They want...
Anyway, I flew out there just to help them.
Made a few thousand dollars.
They could also be super good for me financially to do the rest...
Did it have to be Tuesday or could it be another day?
It had to, because they want to order the floors.
Then Rafe was coming on Wednesday to start doing the work.
Well, you were supposed to work Tuesday.
But no one told me that.
Well, you could ask. You didn't call and ask.
-You just called and told us. -Right.
So now, you look to me as unreliable.
I'm just telling you how I feel. You seem unreliable to me.
Because one time, I took a job out of town and made several thousand dollars,
now I'm unreliable.
Well, your loyalty is to the jobs you have right now.
I would happily work with your schedule, but just call...
I was told I could do my own jobs for my own company.
You never even asked me. You called him...
-and told us what you were doing. -Yeah.
So, if you don't get booked for awhile, you understand why.
Okay. If you're gonna punish me...
No, I can't rely on you. You bailed. I had you scheduled.
It was one time. It was one time.
I would make thousands and now you're gonna punish me.
And not be like, good for you, Megan.
I'm not punishing you, you did this to yourself.
I'm not punishing you. You're not reliable.
You called... Good. ******* go. Go.
[Megan] Do the ******* show without me.
I think we're gonna be down one less drink, Matt.
Okay.
Hi, I'm Kate.
-Hi, Jeff. How's it going? -Nice to meet you.
This is an amazing property. And very private over here.
It feels like a boutique hotel.
Shall I show you the not perfect? The pool-house.
Enter you.
Oh, wow! I love this!
I finally feel like it's exactly where I want it.
Can you believe this was an office before?
-[phone rings] -[Stu] Hi!
Meg and I had a unfortunate exchange.
I don't expect to talk to her for awhile.
The two of you really need to sit down together
and just go through it and just talk it out.
