One month following Jean sold the home, the new owners applied for a permit for demolition.

Alex fixed everything in the home himself and even bought an hardware store out for DIY renovations, TMZ revealed.
He also drove a pickup truck, the outlet noted, so he might pick up supplies from the hardware store for his various renovations around his home.
