Renovation TikTok sees new homeowners document their house improvements – or for some, the absolute fails they have committed.
This was the case for Tiktok user @walton_reno, a woman who shared on the video posting app that she left her partner with the seemingly simple task of stripping the wallpaper.
The woman’s partner was left alone for five hours to strip the paper from the wall that goes up the stairs.
Balancing himself on the ladder, her partner got to work stripping the wallpaper.
When the woman came home five hours later she was met with absolute disaster, as she witnessed the aftermath of what she describes as “wallpaper scraping gone wrong”.
A messy job just got messier as her partner not only removed the wallpaper, he had removed all of the plaster from the wall exposing the brick.

Tiktok users chipped in on the renovation mishap in the comment section, with some praising the man for achieving the goal of removing the wallpaper.
