Al Byrd received the shock of his life Monday when he checked his voice mail and listened to a message from his neighbor telling him his house was being torn down. Byrd called his neighbor just to confirm that he had heard correctly and listened in disbelief as his neighbor told him again that his house, at 11 Byrd Trail in Carrollton, had been demolished that afternoon.

“I said, ‘you got to be kidding me, I’ll come down there,’” said Byrd, a Carrollton native who now lives in Atlanta.

On the way, he contacted the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and was accompanied to the house by Deputy T. Cook. By the time he and the deputy got there, his 2,200-square-foot house and a barn, valued at $200,000, had been reduced to debris and dumped into four huge Dumpsters. The backhoe and crane were still in the yard.


Local contractor sent to demolish house, but it's the wrong one

Man if this was my house I would be royally pissed and I would be glad I don't own a gun. That contractor would never work again in that state for sure.

    Oh man I'd be so pissed. A friend of mine has a roofing company and decided to take a few days off and one of his crews was sent to re -shingle a house and accidentally did the wrong house.

    how does something like that happen? I mean, wouldnt the FIRST step in tearing down a house, or being on a crew that is sent to tear down a house, would be to check, the address of the house? And verify that this was indeed the right house?

    How incompetent can one be?

    Damn... I'm not a sue happy person, but I'd sue the fuck out of everyone involved if I was that guy.

    They relied all too much on the GPS system they had but if that was me I would be double checking it for sure. That's technology for ya and mix in a lack of common sense and you get this mess.
