Tempo House Renovation Edits or Me When I Get My Own House refers to a series of videos using several green-screen templates of a team renovating a house where an image appears on the walls and floors as the team paints and cleans. The templates are available on the "Tempo" music video maker app on Android and iOS and went viral starting in July 2022 in edits, often where an ironic meme image or an image of someone the poster stans is revealed as the workers renovate the house.
