Ironically My Favourite Song Is "Living In A Box"
A Pittsburgh man said his house was demolished by mistake when a city contractor took it down along with a neighbouring home.
Andre Hall said the house, which the city agreed not to demolish for 6 months when he bought it in November, had been demolished with a backhoe when he arrived to work on the property Monday. "I leave for the holidays, come back and see a backhoe sitting on my house," Hall said. "This is not the way I thought I would start off my new year."
The Pittsburgh Bureau of Building Inspection said the contractors were told to demolish a neighbouring home and instead took down both houses. Hall said he has a copy of the letter sent by city officials to contractors PJ Deller. He said the document bears the message, "Do not demolish" in large, bold letters.
Let me get this straight... he bought a house which might be being demolished in six months? If that isn't enough he was going to work on it?
The contractors were on site when the owner arrived...
