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. See links above to learn more. 🏡 *Check out another charming solo woman's tiny home in Germany:* czcams.com/video/Cah9jlVlHZc/video.html
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.
@@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
You just proved women don't need a man for everything! Go girl!!! You did great with your home. Love it. 🎉
I truly admire Karen! She has taken a negative & made it into a beautiful positive. Shame on that SCAMMER!!!
Hey, Karen! Did ITH fix the problems that you have with this tiny home yet?
She did an INCREDIBLE job with her IncredIbox.
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.
There's nothing wrong with a strong, bold, loud woman either.
This woman is amazing! She did all those inside builds herself - incredible. I love her tiny house and her attitude.
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
These types of older single women have delirious fantasies of Randy which causes them to buy overpriced sheds?
You can have a family and be even more alone with one than without one. Depending on the family.
@@dammitbobby283What makes you repost the same silly comment over and over? Grow up.
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 ...
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!
It's Great that they allow tiny homes in rv parks in Arizona. Many places dont.
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! 😊
💗💗💗
❤
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! 🤩🏋♂🏆😻❤🏡
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.
Lovely lady who made a beautiful home for herself! Such an inspiration she is!
We agree!
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.

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. 👍🏻
I love her energy and her fluffy cat, she took an L but she kept on her path to happiness
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!
Cats always make a space feel like a home! 😻😻
😊😊 1:01 😅😊😊😊😊 1:06 1:07 1:07 😊😊😊😊😊
What a competent, resilient woman! She really made the small space beautiful and cozy.
We love her reminders of the joy and ease in simplicity. She makes her 16ft tiny home look super spacious! Well done❤
The world needs more of her. Her vision and attention to detail here are awesome, love it! 🙂
I just hate to see people get ripped off but Im happy to see she’s doing well.
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.
😻🐈🐈⬛
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.
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??
So glad you worked with Randy, he is the best. You now have a beautiful home. I wish you happiness, and peace. God bless you.
Hey, Karen! Did ITH fix the problems that you have with this tiny home yet?
I'm happy for her, she still kept her dreams and found someone reliable to build her tiny home. She lives a quality life.
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.

@@dammitbobby283 sounds like someone is jealous
@@herschelpowers5086 I must acknowledge that your previous communication left me underwhelmed, as it failed to provide any discernible substance or intellectual depth. It is regrettable that such a limited display of cognitive prowess has crossed my path. However, being the epitome of intellectual acuity and possessing an unparalleled repository of knowledge, I shall graciously engage in this discourse, hoping that it may serve as an opportunity for you to expand your intellectual horizons.
I implore you to cultivate a more profound understanding of the subject matter at hand and deliver a cogent argument, replete with substantive evidence and logical coherence. Merely exchanging vacuous statements will not suffice in eliciting a meaningful intellectual exchange that befits the highest echelons of intellectual discourse.
I eagerly await your forthcoming contribution, hoping that it exhibits a more refined and profound cognitive ability, thus stimulating a thought-provoking exchange befitting the intellects of the highest order.
@@dammitbobby283 Go away.
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!
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
You were number 37, I was 36. Glad to see you did an awesome job. 👌✨️🌟
It must take a long time to clean it.
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!
Ok, I loved this very tiny cottage. However, seeing the Maine Coon chillin on the bed let me know that it's purrfect!!!
Being scammed sucks. Bless your heart for paying back what you had hoped on.
That was so sad that she lost her first twenty thousand. She’s a really admirable lady 💗
I am absolutely faszinated, how tiny this house is. And how few stuff this woman has. She's an inspiration!
Definitely!
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 !!!!!!
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.
Great job! Finding any rent for $399 in Tucson is a miracle! You did it up so cute!
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 !
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!
She is incredible! Thanks for watching!
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.
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.
I love Karen's tiny home! It is the first one I have seen that I would actually like to live in. She has done a great job with it!
Mrs. Karen, beautiful custom job. You should be very proud.
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.
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.
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.
We 😊
She is living the life in her tiny house..I love minimal living..it's everything you need 💙
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.
I heard all about that charlatan, and I'm surprised he isn't behind bars. You are resilient, and I wish you well for your future!!
Her future seems very bright, indeed!
You can tell you lived in an RV by your exceptional use of space. Well done!
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!!
Wow, that home looks so tiny from the outside, yet so spacious on the inside with everything a home should have. Amazing.
Your home is just ... * Tooo Cooot *! Love your story , determination and courage. YOU GO GIRL!😅🎉❤
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 😀
Thanks for watching!
What a nice decoration, 🌸 🌺 I know you will make to Paris 🇫🇷
I would like to have a tiny house like yours 🏡
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.
I get angry at the abuses that have entered the Tiny House movement. Glad she kept at it.
I’m so sorry she had to go through that. Amazing persistence and perseverance! My thoughts and prayers go out to her. Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
She did an awesome job decorating! Beautiful
That's the most cute, neat, spacious and well organized tiny house of that size I have ever seen!!!! Wow.
Wow..a real tiny home as opposed to the other large large ones that make the same claim..LOL Very cute place.
Karen did a great job, I wish I could find such an affordable lot in my area!
Great video, her approach to life inspires me to get that too. And good for her for not giving up after being burned by that first builder!
Yes, good for her! Thanks for watching!
What a kind woman. I wish her all the best in her beautiful tiny home and I hope she can get to Paris one day to fulfill her dream
This woman is absolutely incredible...i just admire her so much. She did a phenomenal job on decorating her incredibox. I love the siding outside...it looks amazing...and all the little ways she made that small space work is just ingenious. I am a subscriber to incredible tiny homes and Randy is such a blessing to so many people...i just wish to God he could put a tiny home community much closer to my location in Massachusetts. Ive been very interested in the incredibox because of the price. Thank you so much for sharing her interesting story. So happy for her to have such a wonderful little place to call home.♥️😊
Thanks for watching!
Would like to have one here in Germany ..... ❤
I have been watching Randy and ITH for a couple of years now. I hope they got to see this video! It is great PR for them and they deserve it!
Thanks for watching!
I've seen her house before on an incredible tiny homes video. She did a great job using every space very efficiently.
She made that tiny house a home. She designed her home with such intention. I love it. She is such a lovely woman.
Fantastic job on the work she's done herself on her home. With the laptop or desk set up, it would've been easier to turn that bench top into a flip up/down piece. That way she could also use it as more prep space for cooking. And then put it down when not use. You can buy shelves that go on the wall (they look like shoe storage) to put your laptop or keyboard in. And the screen could go on the wall with a swivel mount to use as a TV. All the work she's done is amazing and I'm glad she's happy ❤
Great idea!
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.
She is so super chill, intelligent and resilient. I enjoyed seeing her tiny house and the insights she shared on her challenges, decisions and journey. Very cool.
Thanks for watching!
@@TinyHouseExpedition love your work!
This is absolutely fantastic Karen. U should be so proud. Ur cat looks soo happy too. She’s enjoying lying on the bed.
You did great job finishing Incred-i-box. Very nice!!
Sweet lady. Glad she's found an affordable lifestyle that works for her.
This is a great episode! It is really good to see that Karen's lifestyle was made easier and more liveable when she moved into her tiny house. She owns her home! I hope the lot rent can remain the same over a long time.
Thanks for watching!
I've been watching your channel for about two years. I'm so glad you had a ITH customer on it. I have also watched Randy for about four years. I hope to have a IncredaBox in the future. Thank you!
Thank you for your support! Glad you enjoyed this one!
I'm a Libra also .....I wish I bought one of his earlier deals ....still saving for one, your house is so cute☀️😊
So happy for her. You can tell she’s been through some things in life. Testimony to being resilient .
I can’t lie, I usually don’t like these incredibox homes but when she welcomed us in it had so much warmth and personality. It’s the first time I could picture myself in one.
Karen, glad life is working for you after losing your first money. Cute little house. Thank you everyone for sharing. Take care.🤗👍👍
Thanks for watching!
that's so cute!I am impressed with how she has fixed it up.
There should be a fundraiser to get her a 20 Foot Incred-i-Box to makeover. With so many views of both videos I dont think $25K would be that much to raise.
I have a fundraiser. I need money to pay for my apartment rent. My GoFundMe donation link is in my bio. Donate something.
No matter how small, women always manage to make the place homey and cosy. Nice person and a nice home.
Randy is a great guy with a great heart . So happy for you. I love Your Tiny it's Beautiful 😍
You’ve done a fantastic job decorating your Incredi-box!
I'm happy for her. If you have one of these and land paid for then you are doing better then most people in America.
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.
So glad to finally see another decorated incred i box..it's was wonderful, heck the entire video was awesome..Thanks guys!!
Thanks for watching!
Karen's Incred-I-Box Tiny Home is the Bee's Knee's :) Really good and simple, workable idea for the bed and the seating area and nice idea to make a work station out of the kitchen prep area.
I love her tiny House it is awesome. I would love to have a tiny house like that especially since I am a single guy. I do not want any Big houses or apartments. This tiny House is already good for me.
Wow! I'm so sorry she got scammed by the first builder. Hopefully karma will catch up with him real soon.
You are such an incredible woman! There doesn't seem to be anything that you cannot do ~ your creativity is truly remarkable!! Enjoy every moment of every day! Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you [ and your kitty! ]
Thank you for your video! You did a great job with your Incredibox tiny home. Glad you knew about Randy and his amazing and affordable homes so you could safely make your dream come true! 😋
Thanks for watching!
Cute little and a pretty lady. You sure do not look old enough to have 3 grown kids!!! Enjoy your piece of heaven!
Karen, your humble strength is admirable ❤
Your a strong women. Bless you. Amazing useful sweet build. Useful and pretty
