A mother who was renovating her home has uncovered an incredible message that had been hidden on her wall for 22 years. 

The DIY-savvy mum was stripping her wallpaper when she found the secret message from Jon, the home's previous owner. 

'If you ever need to wallpaper this room again, it will take 8 rolls of wallpaper,' the amusing message reads.

The writing had been hidden under wallpaper for 22 years and was a clever message by the previous owner - who thought new owner might need it

'I bought just six rolls at $17 per roll on [December 5, 1997] and didn't have enough. It really pissed me off.' 

The note was then signed by 'Jon' on December 21, 1997. 

A picture of the discovery was posted to the 'Bunnings Mums' Facebook page, with the Queensland mother adding her own amusing caption. 

'Only a DIY mum would be this helpful,' she captioned the snap, and included the laughing and heart emoji symbols. 

People commenting on the picture were impressed by the thoughtfulness of the writer. 

'Thanks for the tip Jon. I hope you've finally gotten over it. I'm sure it's a story that's still told,' another person said.

'You can just feel the frustration,' another joked.

'This is absolutely brilliant,' a third added. 

The post has been liked by nearly 1,000 people since being posted on Saturday afternoon.
