Woman baffled to come home and find builders renovating kitchen after getting 'wrong house'

A woman was baffled when she came home to discover a group of builders in her house doing renovations in her kitchen. Chloe Fountain did not have any renovations planned, and even stranger still, a similar experience occurred the previous year, when builders appeared in her garden unannounced to undertake work.

Chloe could not understand that the same "mistake" had happened again. On the social media platform TikTok, she said: "Why does it keep happening? Workers came to the wrong house again."

The Mirror reports that in the clip, the TikToker opens the door and steps in to find a long "red carpet" in the hall. Chloe looks around and finds four builders in her kitchen drilling on the kitchen worktops.

"Yo you've got the wrong house!" she yells but they can't hear over the loud drilling noise. One of the guys is now talking to his boss. I guess now I have f***ing granite (in my kitchen).

"They gave me a bill, I'm not going to show you and I paid for it. I love it, thanks! Love mistakes."

She said her old worktops were wooden slates and now she's got an upgrade. Viewers doubted that it was a mistake and suggested that the builders wouldn't have managed to make the changes because of the layouts in different homes.

Chloe debunked the rumours and said: "They put granite in my kitchen. So where I live, the homes are all 'cookie cutters', they're all the exact same layout.

"I was out grocery shopping and I don't lock my door. I live in a little town bordering Detroit, super safe."

Recalling last year's "garden incident", which went viral on TikTok, Chloe was certain that the builders were not from the same company.

She mentioned in that video: "They're at the wrong house but I'm not going to stop them because I'd love to have free concrete – or a deck, whatever they're building."
