A California backyard transformed on HGTV's popular Flip or Flop show.

Just talk to Joshua Levitt, who spent the better part of 2014 sitting on his couch in South Orange, N.J., watching shows like "Flip or Flop" and taking notes as the charismatic stars frenetically bought distressed properties and, with the right mix of of anxious looks and Carrara marble, successfully flipped one by the end of every episode, Kaysen wrote.

Then Levitt decided to try his luck and bought a vacant house.  "It was a disaster," he said.
