At the Encino project, Jeff is in heaven, as are the homeowners, as he completely reconstructed the floor plan and started the process in turning it into a completely different house.
Lorie, one of the homeowners, can't believe he's doing an entire reconstruction "for only $200,000." Either that's hyperbole, or Jeff is seriously a miracle worker in this field.
The next day, Jeff is on the way to the inspection appointment, and realizes that Chris #1 isn't there to secure the house.
Jeff is angry that he'd leave without notice, especially when Jeff has to take off; but after finding out he was at a local bank, Jeff calls Chris #1 and suppresses his anger, telling Chris #1, "Don't worry... we just need to work together on this."
WTF? If Jeff is in the process of self improvement and betterment, this is going to be one REALLY boring season. Nice Jeff is just no fun.
Later that day, the Ben Lomond project was signed as sold, with escrow just a signature away. It wasn't what Jeff had expected:
You can't always get whatcha wannnnt...
Money was lost, and, in hindsight, not selling earlier was a mistake -- a $200,000 mistake. But Jeff is a master blaster, and he'll press on. Hopefully, on George Clooney's chest.
