A woman was more than surprised when she came home and discovered a group of builders in her house doing renovations in her kitchen.

She had no renovations planned, and even stranger still, a similar occurrence happened the previous year, when builders appeared in her garden to undertake work unannounced. Chloe Fountain could not understand that the same "mistake" had happened again, The Daily Star reports. On TikTok, she said: "Why does it keep happening? Workers came to the wrong house again." In the clip, the TikToker opens the door and steps in to find a long "red carpet" in the corridor.

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 told Daily Star: "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."
