    I think her grandparents were very caring people to keep their home for their family to have, they could have sold it and spent all the money having fun traveling or doing whatever gave them pleasure but instead they stayed in their family home so that their family could have it for security after they were gone.

    She is such a bubbly, understanding and wonderful young woman who has been through such an expensive lesson and has taken such a hard hit at such a young age. Thank heavens that her family came through for her. Not that her soulmate, her grandmother's dying was great, in fact that sounded just awful for her to loose the one person she felt that close to in life . However, the inheritance bailed her out when she desperately needed a life line. Her mother just must have felt awful putting her daughter on to that scam artist. Thankfully, it sounds like he did not taint her amazing character. It sounded like she still has a positive outlook about life and people. But you could tell by her cracking voice and her tears that this experience is still very raw for her. It may continue to be so for some time yet; though I really do hope that it does not go that way for her. It was very brave of her to go onto the internet and expose herself the way she did. That took a lot of guts. As for that piece of garbage, he's not worth the effort.

I love your home. It is so well planned out. I did have a bit of a hard time spacially with where your bathroom is. It seemed to go off the side to me. (Oh well...lol...) You've got a great pup and a great place to park. Ya, finding space in LA...oh boy... I have an idea where you are - generally speaking - and it's chill and quiet. That's wonderful.

    Being scammed is terrible; I’m glad it worked out for you and you’re in a home and place that you love. I was scammed this spring in a huge garden redo-I’m older and needed something more manageable. The work was shoddy and I have to live with it; they milked money from me because they could (where I live hiring a landscaper takes a year for work to stop and so I felt forced to let them finish-well, I kicked them out at the first available moment and then had to scramble to get help to finish it). First time in my life I was scammed. It can happen to anyone.

You could have ended up spending more money to fix it, if it was fixable. You found a great new company that did such a fantastic job. Your new home is well planned out and so homely. I love every aspect of it. I can't tell you how many times I have lost money through bad trades people. I live in hope that one day they receive the same treatment back. You keep being you, what a fantastic person you are!

    Beautiful house -- you did a great job in your planning. The mini-split leaking happened to me also after only about 3 years (different brand) and after assessments from a couple of different people, it was just too expensive to repair. We had to replace it. Apparently it's not uncommon. And your dog is hilarious -- he sits down just like a person. So much personality! Glad things worked out finally for you and so sorry you had to go through that scam before you ended up in a good place.

    Hi Sofia: You and your dog have a beautiful tiny home, with lovely Spanish tiles, woodwork, and a spiral staircase to the upstairs loft. As heartbreaking as it must have been to be scammed by Holy Ground Tiny Homes, it was meant to be for you to connect with a more ethical tiny home company to build your new home. Your beloved grandmother probably smiled as she helped pay for your tiny home. Your dog is quite handsome and striking, and I love how he half-sits in his beanbag and the leather sofa. Wishing you many years enjoying your home! Jenny
