Having any amount of work done on your house is time-consuming, expensive, and overall chaotic . While exciting, it can be a bit of a burden until it’s all said and done.
For one TikTok user, though, it was seemingly a blessing when a crew of construction workers showed up at her house despite her not scheduling anything. She decided to see where it went and uploaded her findings online.

Summer is the season of renos, but what if one begins at the wrong house?
This is what supposedly happened to TikTok user @chloefountainn , who uploaded a series of videos showing construction work being done in her backyard when she didn’t schedule any.
The first TikTok shows a truck dumping gravel into her driveway while Chloe exclaims, “You’re at the wrong house!”
Though she sounded distressed in the first video, she quickly changes her tune by the second.
“Well, they’re at the wrong house, but I’m not going to stop them,” she says as she films the men hard at work in her backyard, “[…] I would love to have free concrete, or a deck, whatever they’re building.”
The third video has her speaking to the camera and laying out the situation again.
“[…] there’s no way I’m telling them. I’m going to tell them when they’re done, I want whatever they’re doing down then I’m gonna be like ‘wrong house’!”
Here is where people started to get concerned, worrying if she was going to pay or not. She clarified in the comments and in the fourth video that yes, she would.
The next update leaves us on a cliffhanger, where not even Chloe knows what’s happening.
The workers left for the day so she’s showing off what they left. It was a large patch of gravel, and again Chloe reiterates that she has no idea if it’s concrete or a deck, and asks her followers if they have any idea what this could turn into.
The next day, the builders didn’t show up.
Which was a bit odd, because they had left Chloe’s yard covered in gravel, her hot tub on the lawn, and all their tools stacked up. It sure seemed like they ought to be back to either continue with the job or at least claim their tools, right?
It turns out, Chloe’s initial video going viral had some unintended consequences.
She had neglected to blur out the name of the company on the dump truck, and so viewers had called in to clue them in to the fact that they were at the wrong house. So, Chloe had to take that first video down and own up to the situation.
And so, Chloe says that she did finally contact the company to apologize and sort things out.
“I had no idea it was going to go this viral,” she said.
Amazingly, it sounds like the builders weren’t even that mad and promised to come back on the weekend to finish the work they had started.
Of course, not everyone bought her story. In fact, most didn’t believe it at all.
The top comment on the fourth video reads, “[Wouldn’t] they have had plans made up before they got there? [Woudln’t] the actual people that booked them have rang by now to find out where they are?”
A comment on the third video has another theory, “They are at the right house…she just wants to prank them for their reaction!”
What do you think? Was this an honest mistake, or is Chloe pulling the wool over all of our eyes?
