Texas Crew Mistakenly Demolishes The Wrong House

HAHAHAHAoooooops:D
AP) DENTON, Texas (AP) - A woman was trying to figure out what to do after a demolition crew wrongly tore down most of her house, instead of one across the street. Francis Howard told the Denton Record-Chronicle that "I don't have the words to say" about what happened to her family's longtime home. The 69-year-old woman, who lives with her son in Frisco, said Monday that the family had resided in the Denton home for 47 years.

Much of the house was demolished April 21.

City records show the house that was supposed to be demolished was ordered in January to be repaired or torn down, due to unkept lawns, outside storage, junked vehicles and failure to secure the structure.

The landlord of the property that was to have been demolished declined comment.

My guess is it was torn down by a crew of illegals driven out of AZ. :mad:

When the last huricanes came accross the east coast. This very same thing happenned on the beach. I was finishing a house in progress when the huricane came. Several weeks before we could get back to the beach house. Well when we did some houses did not look too good from damage.

But the best looking house for a mile was just a couple doors over. Now you could of tore down a dozen houses and they would of been happy to collect the insurance. I just watched the people leave to go to Lowes for a few things. A few minutes later this crew with huge machines come rolling up and they are looking at the best house on the block and I yell to them " It's not that one the people will be right back. " And a voice yells back "Mind your own fucking business " Well they tore that house to the ground in 20 minutes and was loading on the trucks. The people came back as the last of all they things were being loaded. I thought they were going to die. They had to go with the trucks and dig throught the wreckage to salvage their things. Needless to say they got a brand new beach house.

I walked over as the head guy was hanging his head down and I looked him in the eyes and I pointed to the house next door that had in big orange spray painted letters " DEMO" on the front.

Then I looked at him again and said "MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS" and walked away.
