It's every homeowner's worst nightmare. You finally buy your own place, spend ages getting it just right, fixing it up... then the council comes along and levels it to the ground.

Pity then, poor Andre Hall from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who came back to his home only to discover a lot of hay its place – all thanks to a clerical cock-up on behalf of the demolition contractors.

He'd bought the house while it was about to be foreclosed, but had successfully petitioned his local Bureau of Building Inspection to prevent demotion from actually happening.

All was well with the world, Hall thought, but it seems that the house next door was still set to be taken down – and the demolition team thought they ought to take his with it.

"My dream is done now," Hall told his local paper, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Someone needs to man up and take responsibility for this."

At least he wasn't living it in already, mind – but it was close, as Hall had planned to move in with his girlfriend and his children in a few weeks' time, but now his $31,000 (Approx. 20,000) dream home is no more.

We're betting lawyers shall be hearing about this, and maybe it could be worthy of being added to Asylum's ever-increasing demolition fails. Maybe. Just maybe.
