It looks like "we" are totally "relying" on GPS now. I'll bet the real house to be leveled was rated a D5/T5. US Flag

The company that wanted a house demolished did it right per AJC
quote:
Forestar hired Southern Environmental Services, based in Marietta, to handle the ground clearing at 3050 Ga. 16, Nines said. Forestar supplied the company with photos of the home to be destroyed and the address, he said.
But Southern Environmental Services subcontracted the demolition out
quote:
Southern Environmental Services hired a demolition crew from North Georgia Container to knock down the home.

Ouch! I wonder how old thier gps was? Across the highway and over the railroad tracks from where they were supposed to be... sounds like an old Maggie to me Smile I've hunted caches with coords that far off before!

Maybe Jeff Foxworthy could use this.

If a wrecking crew destroys your house by mistake - you might be a redneck.
