Construction and demolition workers have long battled the negative stereotype that assumes that they are all brawn and no brains.
However, a recent boneheaded incident that took place in Carrollton, Georgia, lends some credibility to that less-than-complimentary image.
When a local homeowner was contacted by someone who informed him that some workers had pulled down his entire 3 bedroom childhood home, he may have believed it was crazy and absurd, at the time. However, when he rushed to the area in question to find out for himself, he saw, in horror, that the caller had been right on the money with what he told him.
The whole house was, indeed, totally demolished by the overzealous crew, along with all the furniture, valuable heirlooms and other items it contained inside. The man's father built the home, according to him, so, it, of course, also had great sentimental value.
Apparently, there was a "mix up" and another house was supposed to have been bulldozed instead.
Wouldn't you think these folks would have been smart enough to check and make sure that they were going to destroy the right place?
My guess is that this dimwitted demolition company will soon be receiving a lawsuit notice.
