According to her, she was quoted N70,000 for labour to install new flooring, a price she considered too high. Determined to cut expenses, she decided to carry out the project all by herself.
Lady renovated rented apartment with vinyl tiles
She explained that she purchased three packs of vinyl floor tiles at about N38,000 each, along with a cutter and skirting materials.
Rather than hiring professionals, she used a layout design she generated by asking ChatGPT. She could be seen diligently placing the vinyl tiles side by side on the floor.

The lady completed the installation in less than two hours after understanding the laying pattern.
She said:
"Surprisingly, it came out even better than I imagined. Everyone that walked into this place thought I was a pro installer.
As soon as I got the laying pattern right, this whole process didn't even take me up to two hours till I was done."
However, she encountered a challenge when the three packs of tiles were not enough to complete the flooring. She decided to purchase a more pack, but unfortunately, the store she got it from said it was sold out.
Despite the setback, she expressed confidence that she would find a solution and complete the renovation.
At the time of filing this report, the TikTok video gathered over 850,000 views, over 56,000 likes, and over 1,700 comments.
