33-year-old international cyclist and real estate broker Ryan Flegal has ambitious plans to turn a dilapidated light bulb factory into his very own green oasis in the middle of south central Los Angeles.
He's given himself a four-month deadline to transform the 2,300 square foot second story, purchased for $320,000 without walls, plumbing, or electricity into an ultraefficient, super sustainable live/work loft.
But there's a big difference between selling homes and building them - and Ryan's about to find out whether his sanding, stripping, and salvaging skills are enough to make this investment pay off.
