What would you do if you returned home to find your house being demolished? That's what 69-year-old Francis Howard was presented with on April 21st.
Her home in Texas has been partially demolished by accident as the crew selected the wrong house on her street. Francis managed to stop the complete destruction, but she has lost the porch and whole front of the house making it unsafe to live in.
How did the demolition crew get it so wrong? They just chose the wrong side of the road to work on. Francis lives at 724 Ruddell Street, the house up for demolition was number 721.
When asked how she felt Francis simply said:
"I don’t have the words to say. I just want this house put back together. I think I need a lawyer."
Although there was a demand on her house to have it repaired or demolsihed that doesn't excuse demolishing it without consent. It is expected Francis will either receive a cash payment or alternative living arrangement. But for the time being she is looking for somewhere to live.
