- Jeff Lewis reveals what he's grateful for, and gives his take on this week's episode.
The last year has been a challenging transition from being my own boss to working with clients. When I met Brad and Seana Sherwood, I was really excited to work with them. They are interesting people with a beautiful unique property. I found them eccentric, but I liked that about them. As time went on, I started to change my opinion. It's not that they are not interesting or likable, but I began to realize that they are extraordinarily indecisive. I came up with a lot of great ideas for their home that they seemed to really respond too. The problem was, they never committed to anything. They often talked of their other home in the Hollywood Hills and how much they missed it. I started to get nervous, because I realized I had hours and hours invested in a project that may never commence. My suspicions were correct, because after 7 months, the only thing I have done at Skytop is the outdoor lighting installation. My commission on that job was $1400, of which I personally paid $250 to repair their broken sprinklers. With all my time and my employees time, I figure I lost thousands of dollars on that job.

PLEASE tell your new assistant (sister to your realtor/sister-in-law) to quit chawing on that gum!
And, maybe Ryan could PRIVATELY apologize? He can't lose face to the world! I'm betting he really is sorry and doesn't really want to lose your friendship!

Jeff - you and your crew are in my house daily. I'm absolutely addicted to your show. I love the houses. I've been reading the blogs, too and have learned so much about contractors, how to run a business & be a really up front & professional. I teach US History and am always looking for quick to the point clips I can show my students about "what employers are looking for in employees out in the markeplace." You've had several spots in the shows where you told what you expected in an employee. Would you do that again? That's what I love so much about you - - you say exactly what you mean and get the rif raff out of the way & get things done like they should be done. That would be why you have one of the MOST Successful series on 800 channels right now today.
I'll be looking for that clip . . .and yes hurry up and get a big hard bound Book PRINTED WITH ALL THE EXTERIORS & INTERIORS OF ALL THE HOUSES you & the crew have put together so that I can look at them over and over again. I guarantee it will ba a #1 seller. Get it done. hjm

Hi Jeff,
I think you have a great show. I have always agreed with you on the decisions that you make. I dont think people realize how tough it is. I had to do a remodel on my home, I got sick of everyone riping me off so I did it myself. Although, I have a hard time figuring out what Jenni does, it seems her main job is entertaining you. Anyways, I love the show and keep up the good work.

Jeffy! Let me just say that the minute I watched your show I was hooked!!! I bragged about you to my fiance until he finally decided to watch the show. His respond to your first show was: "no wonder you like him, he's a male version of you." Love, Love, Love, and Love you!!! BRAVO, PLEASE BRING FLIPPING OUT BACK! WE NEED IT!!!

Jeff I love you, you are the funniest, most talented.. but I think you are being harsh with Ryan. By reading Ryan's blog, its clear to me that he has not doing anything wrong behind your back. He explains step by step what you have said he does and replies to your comments. Everything makes sense and I dont feel he is a bad guy in any way. Maybe you are a bit jealous of his success. Thats okay too, we all have those feelings at some point.. but you all should reconcile soon. You do look sad without Ryan, dont make a problem where there is any. Take care, Luv you!!!!

I enjoy your show so much and think you are awesome.
BUT I find it disrespectful of Zoila to tell you to shut up at times. Perhaps she should learn that she is after all an employee. Even though you share a close relationship I still find it disconcerting.

Jeff,
Aloha!
Love you and love the show. . . but please be sweeter to Zoila! It hurt to see her cry. She is such a kind-hearted woman. I would love to see you give Zoila a big hug and tell her that you appreciate her.
Those scenes with you and little Chloe were priceless-they made me laugh so hard that I cried. If I ever have a bad day, I just think about those scenes again, and I start to laugh outloud.
Best, Leilani

Dear Jeff,
I feel your frustration with Flad and other contractors/handymen. I own a construction/handyman company and have for years. I have decided 99% are flakes. Good news; I am newly married to the perfect carpenter. He does the majority of the work for my company. He is fabulous. I truly feel you would work well with one another. I would love to have the opportunity for the two of you to meet. You have my email. We are located out of Ventura County. The drive is no problem! Hope to hear from you!!!!!!

You are right you need to know when to cut a client, you also need to figure out your hourly rate. This rate should be variable-consulting,planning,accessorie shopping and even have a different rate for different projects. You are in the business to make money and please the client. Also I love the show.

Jeff, I am your biggest fan. I have watch your so since the first season and I am hooked. I just get you. I would love to be apart of your team and would get you enough brown salsa to bath in -lol.
I am sorry about the problems with Ryan. If it is any consolation, I too would be very hurt by his actions. You deserve
a better friend than that. I believe in Karma tho.On a last note, Would you ever consider dating Chaz ? It seems to me that you two would balance each other well. Chaz's oversized heart and your black heart and all. It does seem like there is some chemistry there. Do not settle for anyone until they are an asset & make your life easier & happier. I am happily single myself and love it.

Hi Jeff, I wanted to write and tell you I think you are one of the most entertaining people currently on television. I can tell underneath that hard, anal neurotic appearing exterior you really do care about people. A lot of really sensitive people are just that way! I also love your wicked sense of humor! I died when I watched the episode with Chloe and her "Girls Gone Wild" responses! I also love that you really care about your pets. It seems all your dogs are mutts and most likely rescues. You just seem to me someone who is opinionated, not afraid to speak your mind and is not interested in everyone thinking you are "Nice". That is what makes you interesting and hence you have interesting people around you! Good Luck with your new business ventures and from what it looks like a possible adoption. I hope you will consider adopting an older child who really needs a family. I think you have the potential to be a Great Dad! Peace Out, Love In, Lisa

Hi Jeff,
I absolutely love your show and your attitude! I know a lot of people are probably put off by you at times, but those are the people who do not have high expectations of themselves or others. I think you and I would be great business partners...and friends since I would give you sh*t back...like Zoila! Your sense of humor is great....keep me laughing!

You may want to consider the eco-friendly portable toilet that Spirit could use instead of the side yard. That way it can be more sanitary and she can keep her home, and everyone wins.

Dear Jeff,
I love you, your hilarious. But, you need to know that you can be obnoxious because your so cute--but, you won't always be this cute and some of the bad things that happen to you might be because of your negative energy not other peoples.
Negative energy attracts negative energy.

Hey sweetie, you just have to remember regarding energy when it comes to whats coming at you its usually what you've been putting out there that comes back. So put positive energy out you get positive back. Embrace, motivate, and educate or better said try mentoring. The energy you give out will be magnetic and you will feel recharged instead of stressed or negative. hugs

Youve discovered something every custom homebuilder or remodeler must learn. People are full of crap, unless you know they are not. And we all know, there is only one way we know they are not..............if their check cashes.
As a "designer" you can do what I do. I do residential architecture & construction, so I have the ability to capture clients with a design agreement and retainer fee, before doing anything. You, as a designer, not just a builder could reasonably do the same thing. The retainer would apply to design fees only. Then the client has the ability to transition to construction or terminate the relationship.

Jeff-
We met on a flight from Turks and Cacaos that was extremely delayed- I knew you looked familiar but couldn’t place your face. My husband and I now DVR your show and watch it regular. Can you give any advice to people buying a very run down 1925 Mediterranean with regards to hiring a builder/designer? We both run businesses and make tough decisions all day but when it comes to personal issues we have a tendency to be indecisive. I feel like we need a designer to help plan out the space and narrow down decisions so we can make progress. Otherwise I think it will never get done. How do we go about hiring a designer that will be strong enough to guide us through the process and narrow down choices but not take advantage of our lack of knowledge in this space?

Jeff,
I think you are a real catch for some very lucky guy, and I really hope you find him. It's perfectly natural you should love
Ryan and his family, but what romance there was with you and Ryan is swept away when he committed to his new partner. I hope you and Ryan stay friends, and I hope you find a new mate of your own
who can appreciate the wonderful guy you really are! The show dosen't hint about your love life, so forgive me if I am wrong. I would love to see that you find a mate of your own, and even have children if you want. I think you would be an excellent, loving father!Love You and the Show,

There is an under current of love on this show. Jenni shows a lot of genuine concern for you and you do for her. Zoila knows you really care about her, too. I laughed out loud when you mimicked the zombie pose on Rachael. It is a setting where people can grow if they just don't take offence, and merciless if they do. Keep loving each other. It is all good.

I am such a fan, I love ur work ethic and style. I know u r gay but - wish I was a little younger and Male at times. you just have an incredible energy and are so engaging. The things that make u difficult or different are what I find Amazing. OCD, means u give a damn and the attention to detail is what makes our contributions in life Stellar vs. acceptable. You inspire me; and make me feel like though Im a woman, and straight that there are other great minds who are like myself. Thanks for sharing your life - even a hollywood version with us.
Jenni - u are the best thing ever.

On Thursday afternoons I tuck my 3 year old and my 3 month old into bed for their nap and PRAY that they fall asleep. After about 10 minutes I literally skip to my t.v. and find my DVR list. I scroll through recorded cartoons and movies to find MY show Flipping Out. I am so happy to jump into your world for about an hour and take a break from mine!!! I have also learned so much about contractors. I had my entire upstairs remodeled recently and the contractor was ridiculous!! Your comment about contractors taking your inital deposit to pay everyone back from the last job was so useful for me. Do you have to give them anymore money? Also do you have your contractors on a time limit? Whenever I decided to get my downstairs remodeled I will take all of you advice and stick it to those contractors!!! Don't get a big head, but you are a genius!

Also do you have your contractors on a time limit? Whenever I decided to get my downstairs remodeled I will take all of you advice and stick it to those contractors!!! Don't get a big head, but you are a genius!

Cut through all the red tape. Move forward and make Zoila your new partner. From what I can see, Zoila is a fantastic people person, which Jeff is not. Perfect partnership. Plus Zoila seems to be the mother hen, quietly guiding the designers run amok.
And I don't know what the house assistant did, but he better watch out. If Zoila was willing to take Jeff out with bad bacon, what chance does the house assistant have. Leave Zoila alone, we love her !

JEFF, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL EVEN GET TO YOU, BUT I WAS JUST WATCHING YOU AND JENNI WITH ANDY, AND I WANTED TO SAY, I HAVE 2 SONS, A 2 YR. OLD & 7 YR. OLD. I HOPE THEY TURN OUR TO BE HALF THE MAN THAT YOU ARE. YOU AND ANOTHER PHENOMENAL MAN, ( WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE GAY), ROBERT. I ADORE THAT YOU THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. YOU DON'T JUST SPIT OUT WORDS TO HEAR YOURSELF SPEAK. YOU HAVEN PROVEN TO BE SUCH A SUCESS AND INSPIRATION...THANK YOU. I DO NOT WATCH TV. ASIDE FROM ADDING THE LORD INTO THE MIX, YOU, AND ROBERT ARE COMPLETE TRUE MEN.
THIS WHOLE, " WHO'S GAYER, WITH ANDY", IS FUN. BUT REALLY LET'S JUST SPEAK REALITY. IF YOU HAVE THE CHARACTER, AND GOOD ROOTS ARE INSTILLED, THEN, WHO CARES.

Jeff,
I Really enjoy your show, also here is something Ihope encourgesyou. Seemingly out of nowhere the world can change, and those changes can sometimes be very difficult. But don't let those changes fill you with resentment or fear. Instead let the changes ignite your determination.Let them spur you to be more creative, more purposeful, and more focused on what's truly important. When circumstances change, there is great challenge. And with that challenge comes great opportunity. With each change, new positive possibilities are born. Put your energy, your awareness and your creativity into figuring out what those possibilities mean for you. One thing you can always count on is that the world will change. And even in the difficult changes, there is value to be found. Be ready and be willing to uncover that value, and to make the most of it. And no matter what happens you'll always have the ability to get where you decide to go. Ralph Marston

Jeff is so insanely attractive....I have watched the reruns over and over and am so addicted! Not just the show itself (Zoila, Jennie, Ryan, beautiful Chloe, all the rest crack me up) but just to see Jeff, with that amazing smile and sense of humor....total perfection. Not crazed here but he floats my boat....his OCD is so adorable...in a nutty kinda way....just like myself in a milder form. We'd be such a great match! :) We're a match made in Heaven!

Jeff,
Help! I am married to your evil twin Joe. Tell me, how do the people in your inner circle keep from holding you close and feeling the love you have one minute and restrain from kicking the crap out of you the next. He is an artist, a husband, a carpenter, a visionary and a huge pain in the $%^&*ing %^#.

Well Jeff I saw the last episode about you and Ryan and I have to admit I felt for you. I know how much you care for him it shows. However, I also read Ryan's blog (setting the record straight) now kidda feel for him. I hope that you two can work this out I think that it would be ashame if you guy's let ego's ruin your relationship!

I just wanted to say "Thanks". I rarely watch T.V. and when i do its the weather channel befor I go to bed. I call the T.V. the D.M.K. box. (Death Murder Kill). Seems everytime I turn it on the only thing to watch involves D.M.K. I came across your show one night about a year ago and I have been a Loyalist ever since. I admire your attention to detail and your stong will. I hope you never change. And don't forget to stop and smell the roses every now and then....just dont get hurt by the thorns. Much love and success.

Jeff, I can relate to you. Although I don't say I am OCD, I probably am. I like to know what needs to be done, how it will get done and all the what ifs that could happen. then i want it done. i also have my regular duties for myself - and I don't let anyone clean but me because no one can do it the way I like it. I find that I know things are done and done right by staying on top of it and aspire to being the best at whatever I do - at least my best anyway.
I think calling that OCD is a crime. I think what you do you know you do well or you don't do it until you can.
I do see that you trusts some too much and others not enough. Those who can tell you that you are pissing them off and stay with you - those are your friends.
Good luck and I will be watching.
