When empty nester Karen was ready to pursue her tiny house dream, she lost a $20k downpayment to a scammer builder. She persevered & a few years later, got an affordable 16-ft Incred-I-Box that she DIY-finished out with cute decor & clever storage solutions.

I couldn't live in a place with walls like that - metal panels & studs. I don't know if it reminds me more of a submarine ... or what I've seen of prison cells.
You might not think so but you are my wonder woman .I am older now but I wish. I was like you and able to do all the things you did .I am happy for you.God bless you all your days
still sue that other builder and lean on his property, you don’t deserve to lose your money. this house is beautiful but you shouldn’t allow the other guy to get away with robbing you
If she has any sense she will but in reality it may cost a lawyer more than what she deserves back. So, maybe she knows this and is just tossing it up to the game of life.
I see every comment says how great and awesomely amazing she is. I strongly agree. Wow, she's a go-getter,soft spoken lovely woman. She has a special desire for change and she does it with no one stopping her. That's a strong woman. God bless her. She was so entertaining in showing and explaining how she accomplished her wanting a tiny house. She should do more shows.
I agree! She did an interview and tour with Randy Jones of Incredible Tiny Homes, and I have found her to be smart, creative, confident, capable, and persistent in achieving her goals. She tells it like it is, the good, bad, and ugly. I like a lot of the things she's done, and plan on using some of those in my tiny.
You cannot go wrong with Randy Jones at Incredible Tiny Homes. The man and his team have integrity. How many times have I heard of investors paying exorbitant prices for the new rollout that never happens. Sad...really sad. But glad she's thriving.
I really like the upgrades she made to her Incred-I-Box. The affordable housing that Randy is providing in The Grove, his latest community, is a godsend in this environment of increasing housing costs and lot rents.
I normally don't say this but, she's a sweet woman. At first, I felt bad for her to live alone with her cat in a tiny home. But then she mentioned about her son and daughter-in-law. I'm happy to hear that. Which means she's not alone. She has family.
That's so terrible that she wasn't able to get her money back from the scammer! That makes me sick. Who has $20K to throw away?? She has done such a nice job of decorating and building inside/outside of her TH. I hope to get the cottage style version of the I-box down the line. Such a floofy and adorable kitty! I wonder if she's going to build a catio at some point.
She done a great job on decorating her incredibox I'm glad that she is doing well and happy there are still a few honest people like Randy Jones out there I'm sorry she got took by the first POS
that's cool, that she didn't loose her grip and her faith. And looking at her now, she is an uplifting and easy-going person. Hope everything works out well for her
What an example for everyone!! Why do people insist on trying to single us Americans out. So many people who don't live in the U.S or know what Americans are like, seem to have this misconception about us, and believe all the negative things that have been said about us. Are people really that ignorant??
Okay when her cat winked at the camera, that beautiful fluffy feline stole the show! Lol She did a great creative job on her home! Plus if she wants to move it's towable.
Wow! Seeing all her storage revealed was like a magic trick! I'm so impressed with her handyman skills, boldness, and can-do spirit! When she casually mentioned cutting off part of the kitchen counter and removing an outlet I found a new hero! 🤩🏋♂🏆😻❤🏡
This is a perfect example of why Randy and the Incredibox, as well as other models, are changing housing. The personalization when starting with the quality build gives one a beautiful tiny home. Thank you for sharing, and a shout-out to Randy and his vision!
I love this lady's determination. Even though she got scammed, she is not dwelling on that and moved forward with her dream. Her home is lovely and it's shows us all that it's not about you and your things, it's about you and your lifestyle. Only thing missing is a washer/dryer.
Living in the thoughtful way that she is I’m sure she will make it to Paris when she decides on a date. Kudos to this young lady and to Randy and the ITH crew.
Karen is so inspiring. Despite being scammed she stuck to her dream and achieved it. I love how she's set up her home, it's so functional and also beautiful. It really feels like a home, possibly because she has a cat!
Nice to see she is safe,comfortable,secure and happy in her tiny home,Randy is a God send to many who would do without without his vision to build affordable homes for people !
Wow what a incredible women, she even knew the rear axle ratio of her truck, thats impressive. Oh and she even does carpentry and remodeling, again what a incredible individual, great job !!!!!!
I hope that first tiny home builder was prosecuted! Your attitude is amazing, and I love that you have a home that is yours where ever you go. Maybe one day you can bring your own “moms apartment” when visiting your kids at their homes, having your own space is so important as we age.
It's a beautiful little home and she seems to love it. Im sorry she was scammed, but happy she has a safe home for her and the kitty. All the best to her and the family.
What a lovely, intelligent, beautiful lady you are. Your home mirrors your beautiful spirit, that comes across in this video. Thank you for sharing. God Bless ❤
I just loved this! Turned out cute, cozy, and efficient for her needs. It made me smile and all warm inside to see that even with being scammed, she kept a positive outlook on her goal. Really glad it worked out for her.
Going solar would be a game changer. I just am taken by your genius way of consolidating furniture as storage! Looks so amazing. Congrats on such a successful choice.
You did an amazing job with your tiny home!! I've been watching Randy for years and love what he is doing for people. Very creative on how you made use of your space!! Love it!!
Karen you did an amazing job decorating your Incred-i-Box! Thank you for showing us your home and you are such an inspiration to everyone that wants to live in a tiny home.
I love the way this incredible woman made this Incredibox into her home. Not only did she quickly pay off the previous $20,000 loss, she kept moving forward with getting her dream tiny home anyway. When she got her own tiny home, she set about making it into a customized home with space to fit her needs. She takes from over here where she doesn't need the space, and turns around utilizing the space somewhere else. Like with the end of her kitchen counter, over to where she made the closet area multi purpose for all kinds of things. Her decor is functional and pleasing to the eye! May she continue finding peace and happiness in her life decisions and choice of tiny home!
You did a wonderful job . I’m amazed you’re so capable in so many directions. Electric, building,painting, etc, and like you say kitty is happy. God bless.
Omg she is a role model despite all the obstacles in the way you can achieve your dreams no matter what live the way you want you don't have to always go the way of the jones.
She seems like a beautiful, gentle soul… That was just awful that she was ripped off the the builder… Wishing health & happiness in her lovely new home…❤❤❤
Karen is an amazing person and I thank her for sharing her experience. I love seeing the different things people are doing with their Incred-i-boxes. She did a good job on all her projects and has made herself a cozy, affordable place to live.
What a lovely positive light in this world! I really enjoyed your video and my daughter and son are buying some land and have offered me a spot for a tiny home. We live in the city now and I love the peace and quiet of the country but we are not the "we have a place in the country" types that could afford a big second home, this price point is right up our alley. So many great design ideas and a great minimalist space. Karen - you've inspired me, I wish you nothing but happiness!
My admiration to you for your perseverance, and to finally realized your tiny home, and a beautiful one at that. Your talent in finishing your tiny house yourself is also admirable. Good skills are hard to come by. However, do sue that scammer builder for the money that you lost, as you deserve that money back to make your life even better for you. God bless!!
Thanks for sharing. I love Randy's Incredible Homes. I have been watching his videos for many years and certainly believe they are sturdy & well-built. I also believe Randy truly loves to HELP people. Thanks for sharing your home and all the things you have done to it. It looks very nice. God bless 😀

@@Discerning_Viewer It's fine, you could finish it any way you'd like. Apparently IRL you hardly notice them; in any case, she doesn't mind.
You might not think so but you are my wonder woman .I am older now but I wish. I was like you and able to do all the things you did .I am happy for you.God bless you all your days
I would sue that builder too 💯
@@Discerning_Viewer there's lots of tiny house ideas your tiny house would be what you invision
still sue that other builder and lean on his property, you don’t deserve to lose your money. this house is beautiful but you shouldn’t allow the other guy to get away with robbing you
I agree!!!🤦🏽♀️
I hope she sue him before it’s too late.
Lawsuits cost money..😊
If she has any sense she will but in reality it may cost a lawyer more than what she deserves back. So, maybe she knows this and is just tossing it up to the game of life.
Small claims court
I can see that this woman is more happy than most millionaires.
I just love how she has decorated her little piece of the world ❤😊
What a dumb comment. 😂
Love how she utilizes shelves. She has organized her little space well. I am sorry she & others had to deal with the lowlife scammer
Yes she is very content. Sweet lovely lady.
Millionaire means more (stress).
I'm happy for her, she still kept her dreams and found someone reliable to build her tiny home. She lives a quality life.
I see every comment says how great and awesomely amazing she is. I strongly agree. Wow, she's a go-getter,soft spoken lovely woman. She has a special desire for change and she does it with no one stopping her. That's a strong woman. God bless her.

There's nothing wrong with a strong, bold, loud woman either.
She did an INCREDIBLE job with her IncredIbox.
This woman is amazing! She did all those inside builds herself - incredible. I love her tiny house and her attitude.
This lady is amazing! The type of determination and self sufficiency we should celebrate. She has been able to do it all on her own....
she is amazing..to balance back and kept going..seems like a sweetheart of a gal!
She truly is! Thanks for watching!
I agree. I love how she builds things on her own. I she has many happy years in her new home.
I agree! She did an interview and tour with Randy Jones of Incredible Tiny Homes, and I have found her to be smart, creative, confident, capable, and persistent in achieving her goals. She tells it like it is, the good, bad, and ugly. I like a lot of the things she's done, and plan on using some of those in my tiny.
@@raysun2be I agree, many should use her as an example, it can be done!
I'm 54yrs old, I don't have any money for my own home.
I'd love to own this type of home.
Me neither. I have never owned a home. Most of my life I have lived in apartments.
I love her attitude! Her home is pretty & fits the needs! She is someone whom I would LOVE to have as a neighbor!!!
She is a great neighbor, for sure!
Me too!
Need more neighbor's like you ..❤ your home ...
You cannot go wrong with Randy Jones at Incredible Tiny Homes. The man and his team have integrity. How many times have I heard of investors paying exorbitant prices for the new rollout that never happens. Sad...really sad. But glad she's thriving.
Randy Jones is great! I hope to buy from him next year.
What a sweet lady! She did a great job with her house, I like the color scheme and hope she makes it to Paris one day! 😊
💗💗💗
Karen, your humble strength is admirable ❤
I really like the upgrades she made to her Incred-I-Box. The affordable housing that Randy is providing in The Grove, his latest community, is a godsend in this environment of increasing housing costs and lot rents.
The Grove -... is fantastic. // Saying that, I have seen a couple what they call Tiny Home Villages around the U.S.... all legal / zoned.
Lovely lady who made a beautiful home for herself! Such an inspiration she is!
We agree!
What a competent, resilient woman! She really made the small space beautiful and cozy.
I love her energy and her fluffy cat, she took an L but she kept on her path to happiness
I normally don't say this but, she's a sweet woman. At first, I felt bad for her to live alone with her cat in a tiny home. But then she mentioned about her son and daughter-in-law. I'm happy to hear that. Which means she's not alone. She has family.
Sometimes you’re better off! I basically live alone … put my doggy down last month 😢 but it’s peaceful.
Pets are family too
@jimrockford1283What makes you repost the same silly comment over and over? Grow up.
@jimrockford1283What is Randy?
@@Kelly_BenThanks for the comment😊
The world needs more of her. Her vision and attention to detail here are awesome, love it! 🙂
We love her reminders of the joy and ease in simplicity. She makes her 16ft tiny home look super spacious! Well done❤
Being scammed sucks. Bless your heart for paying back what you had hoped on.
It's Great that they allow tiny homes in rv parks in Arizona. Many places dont.
Great job! Finding any rent for $399 in Tucson is a miracle! You did it up so cute!
That's so terrible that she wasn't able to get her money back from the scammer! That makes me sick. Who has $20K to throw away?? She has done such a nice job of decorating and building inside/outside of her TH. I hope to get the cottage style version of the I-box down the line. Such a floofy and adorable kitty! I wonder if she's going to build a catio at some point.
I agree, he needs to be in prison and made to work in there to pay everyone back the money he took from them.
Its a knockout! Beautiful lady!
Adorable, great job. So sorry you were scammed with the 1st company. Glad you kept the faith as it paid off. 👍
You can have some of this worthless fiat currency
Jennifer L- What a great idea! I hope she’s sees your suggestion. 👍🏻
This Italian lady is beautiful with a sweet soft voice. I love how she setup her tidy house. It so cozy, cute, clean, tidy and perfect.
She done a great job on decorating her incredibox I'm glad that she is doing well and happy there are still a few honest people like Randy Jones out there I'm sorry she got took by the first POS
That is one of the best reasons I will buy my tiny from Randy. You will receive honesty and excellent quality.
@Jim Rockford sounds like someone is jealous
@jimrockford1283 Go away.
@@herschelpowers5086 💯💯
that's cool, that she didn't loose her grip and her faith. And looking at her now, she is an uplifting and easy-going person. Hope everything works out well for her
What an example for Americans who believe bigger is better! She did a great job making a cozy home!
I have been scammed from pch. Turned them in and nothing.
AND ONCE WELL INTERIORED YOU SEE HOW GOOD IT IS.

Hey, Karen! Did ITH fix the problems that you have with this tiny home yet?
What a great video, this young lady is very talented and resilient! I'm so glad she is in such a wonderful place now. 🙂
Yes, she is! Thanks for watching!
You just proved women don't need a man for everything! Go girl!!! You did great with your home. Love it. 🎉
Keep that thought...you comments are a hate against humanity
Nah just, design, fabricate, deliver, water, power, sewer, etc, etc, etc!
a man built her tiny home which she could not do on her own.
Y pero eso siempre fue así es depende de la mujer si le gusta ser mantenida o no ahora mi pregunta es ...vos tenes tu propia casa ????..😂😂😂
