(WSB Radio)  Somebody's going to be in big trouble for this.

Work crews tore down a house in Carroll County.  The problem is, it was the wrong house.

Al Byrd is the owner of the home.  He says he received a strange phone call the other day from the man who mows his lawn.

The worker asked Byrd if he still wanted him to mow the grass.  When Bird asked why not, the man replied, "Because they're tearing down the house."

"You can't imagine it," Byrd says.  "I'm just incredulous that something like this can happen and no one contact the owner."

Byrd's house is now in ruins, destroyed by mistake.

"I said, 'I'm the owner of the house,'" Byrd says.  "I haven't given anybody the authority to demolish this house."

As near as Byrd can tell, it's all a terrible mistake. He figures the demolition crew was supposed to tear down the house across the street.
