I’m transforming my council house and revamped my fence without it costing me penny, it already looks so much better
A WOMAN on a mission to transform her council house into a home has revealed how she revamped her garden fence for free.
Natasha Lawson, from the UK, showed off her DIY skills in a recent TikTok video.
In the clip, the mum said: “Turn my council house into a home.
“This is part one of the garden renovation.
“Today was a really nice day so I thought I might as well try and start painting the fence.
“I had a vision of the fence being black.”
But luckily for Natasha, she didn’t have to go out and buy a pot of paint.
Instead, she could rely on her mum to bring the goods as she already had special black paint to be used outside which she gave to Natasha.
Natasha could then be seen rolling the paint onto her fence, where she asked for tips on how to do it quickly.
However many informed Natasha in the comments that the only quick way was to spray it on – but it would end up causing a mess in her neighbour’s garden.
In the end Natasha used three coats of paint to get the opaque finish she wanted.
“You can actually already see the difference… It’s just so much nicer,” she added.
She also revealed she had a lot more work to do including trimming the hedges in the garden as well as painting the brick wall.
The video posted to her account @natashalawson20 has since gone viral.
Many people took to the comments offering Natasha suggestions on what else she could do for the garden.
One person wrote: “I deffos think black looks good but please don’t paint the wall a think you’ll regret it.”
Another commented: “This will look lovely! I think you should leave the wall though would look nice against the black.”
“A sponge. Like any kind of sponge . Takes less time. Easier on the arms,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “You can get a spray tub but nightmare if you have gaps in fence cos it goes through neighbour garden.”
“I’ve just used black fence paint massive tub for a tenna off Amazon!! It’s amazing,” claimed a fifth.
