-Cost to replace house
-Cost to rent for a year while it is rebuilt
-Pain and Suffering

She is about to be paid. And honestly, rightfully so - who the f demolishes the WRONG house.

How the hell do you tear down a house without quadruple checking it's the right one, and that the person telling you to do it has the authority to do so?


This is the third or fourth time recently that I have heard about this kind of a thing happening. Even obviously vacant houses in some state of disrepair should still have some safeguards in place to prevent an accidental demolition.

Several years ago there was at least one case where a house was in very good shape and obviously occupied and some workers still destroyed it. The fact that the home had no obvious problems with it, a well-manicured lawn and landscaping, and the entire inside of the home still had furniture and personal items on display, etc. wasn't enough to sound off alarm bells to the wrecking crew. I think that a neighbor even told them that someone still lived in the house. Needless to say that the homeowner was in for quite a surprise when they returned from the office that day.

How is this not a crime? It seems to me that this house had some value. Shouldn't they be in jail?

I haven’t read any stories about that happening in a long time,I think hospitals have gotten much stricter about ensuring mistakes like that don’t happen anymore.


They literally write "NOT THIS LEG!!!" in huge print with a magic marker on your leg while they're doing the surgical prep.

Kinda hard to mess up after that.

Maybe if your neighbor is having a house demolished you should put a giant sign in your yard that says "NOT THIS HOUSE!!!!"

You wouldn't expect something like that to happen in such an upscale, manicured neighborhood

I don't think she actually lived there. It was described as her childhood home that her father left her. I took that to mean she lived elsewhere.
Still fricked up that it was torn down.


Almost all of these wrongly torn down homes are un-lived in, uncared for, and appear abandoned.

But yeah, still bullshite that someone tearing down a house wouldn’t double check and make damn sure it was the correct house.

We had a friend we called spare tire. The thought was - he was mostly useless and not needed, but every now and then, and just maybe he was the right guy.

To me, that piece of land is worth more now with a house I don’t have to pay to tear down.


I seriously doubt anyone had lived there for some time.

Not saying this is right, but silver lining.

How can you tell they’re not under the pile of house?

because the "pile" would have some depth and volume as well as scattered debris , rather than look like a few flat walls stacked on each other?

Give her a $20 bill and she's good to go.

Hope she sues or the contractor rebuilds her a dream home of the same size.

they are retelling the story again because now they are suing over it, thats why they are just reposting the story with a few new updates

original story has been posted 3-4 times last year but not recently

i think they should get some money from this, but the yard was high weeds and house was run down and looked like a chicken shack when it was torn down, it wasnt a house or yard that was kept up with, and it was certainly not being lived in.

the original story had a before and after pics and the house was literally ready to fall down, holes in the walls and roof, and looked covered in mold
