I tore down my privacy fence and built a new one – it wasn’t as hard as I thought, all I needed was a bit of delusion
A DIY enthusiast has shared how she spruced up her own yard, hyping herself up with a bit of delusion.
She revealed that she tore down her old privacy fence and replaced it with a brand new one she built herself.
Darlenee (@deardarlenee) filmed herself working on the home transformation in a video on TikTok.
“I have a confession. I tore down the fence at the home that I rent.
“Hear me out, though. It’s disintegrating, it’s peeling, it’s falling over. It’s on its last leg, so I tore it down.
“But I’m rebuilding a brand new one. I’m confident it’ll be better than last. I mean, how hard can it be?” she said.
She shared that a positive outlook on the project helped her complete the yard glow-up.
“I just figure a can-do attitude and a little bit of delusion is really all I need to get me through this and I will build a beautiful fence, I’m convinced.
In a follow-up video, Darlenee shared the results of her delusional approach to replacing the old fence.
“Honestly, this is not as difficult as I thought it was going to be,” she said, showing the brand new fence. “And now I don’t have to stare at an ugly fence anymore.”
She also shared some perks of going DIY on her rental property.
“My landlord paid me to demo and rebuild a new fence in the backyard of our home and I was HYPED to do so.
“Because, did you see that old fence? Big yikes,” she said.
The videos drew in many viewers who expressed their two cents in the comment sections.
“How much did materials cost?” one wrote. “I want to do this too. I’m just broke lol.”
“Materials were a little under $400 for a 60-foot fence,” Darlenee replied.
