Woman shares video of messy fence after ‘neighbour’s painted only their side’ – and it’s dripping through ALL the gaps
A SCOTTISH resident was left furious after her neighbour destroyed her side of the fence with a DIY paint job.
Fi Wilson, from Edinburgh, Scotland, shared a clip of the major fail after a person who lives next door decided to paint only their side of the wooden fence.
According to Fi, who posted the now-viral video on TikTok, her neighbour had given the fence a glow-up with black paint.
But little did they know the liquid would then seep through all the gaps between the wooden panels – and end up on Fi’s side of the fence.
Infuriated, the Scot grabbed her phone and took footage of the fence in her garden that had been destroyed.
Although for the most part the panels appeared to have been untouched, there were many with patches of black paint dripping.
Luckily for Fi, the garden accessories she had hung on the fence seemed to have escaped the DIY paint attack.
Sharing the video on the platform, where she posts under the username @fiwilson6, Fi wrote nothing apart from a facepalm emoji in the caption.
Uploaded less than 24 hours ago, the clip has already taken the internet by storm, winning close to 128k views.
Unfortunately, it is not know what the public thought of the unpleasant situation, as Fi has since turned commenting off.
Perhaps, to avoid all the mess, Fi’s neighbour should’ve followed the latest trend – transforming dull fences with a shower curtain.
Savvy homeowner Sally Gardner proved you don’t need to splash the cash to give your worn-down fence a new look.

Instead, she revealed how she gave hers a stylish makeover for just £13.99 – using nothing but a shower curtain from Amazon.
Taking to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she shared a photo of the bargain product that features a pretty print of a stone wall, window and flower display.
She then used screws to pin it to her fence, giving the illusion that the backdrop is an actual part of her garden.
And the results look so impressive, it’s little surprise the post quickly racked up a whopping 11,000 likes and almost 2,000 comments – with some revealing their garden makeovers using the same shower curtain hack.
“How clever,” praised one.
A second penned: “That is fab!”
A third enthused: “Beautiful.”
Meanwhile, a fourth agreed: “It’s nice to brighten up a garden.”
Another commented: “Looks fantastic WOW. I love ittttt!”
And further added: “This is a game changer! Brilliant.”
