Woman Shocked After Leaving Partner To Strip Wallpaper For A Few Hours

In one clip, the woman explains how she had left her partner alone in the house, and later returned expecting to find wallpaper-less walls... but instead she got exposed brick and a whole load of mess.

Captioning the clip, she wrote: "Left him alone with the wallpaper scraping for five hours..."

She then posted a series of pictures showing what the house looked like when she returned - basically, a pile of debris at the bottom of the stairs.

She then wrote: "Imagine my face when I came back to this..."

But not everyone saw it as a DIY disaster, with some actually explaining that it might be for the greater good.

Commenting on the clip, one person wrote: "The brick will be a nice feature. Won't have to be replaced every 2 years like wallpaper. Great job and saved a fortune on paper."

Another was less convinced, however, writing: "Not insulated with a massive heat sink to the house. Say hello to a massive heating bill during winter."

Backing up the bloke removing the wallpaper, a third person said: "The wallpaper is no longer on the wall, I'd say job well done."

Got a point.

Another told her to get it re-plastered and said it's going to look 'great', to which another TikToker pointed out: "What if she leaves him to re-plaster and comes back to it freshly painted/wallpapered."

One can only hope.

"In old houses, the wallpaper is the only thing holding up the plaster," said one user, adding: "But even that looks like he got a bit carried away."

The original poster then replied saying: "Wallpaper was holding ceilings as well... well, not anymore." Uh-ohhh.

She also explained how the handyman was 'very pleased with himself' and the work he did to their 100-year-old home.

Others were impressed with his speed, with someone even offering him a job: "If he can do that in five hours with a wallpaper scraper, I'll employ him!"
