Bob the builder is going to be horrified when he hears about Erik Pierwaza's stunt of angrily tearing down his family home in Pennsylvania, USA with an excavator after his wife told him their marriage was over.
With the incident garnering attention this week, police say his wife and two daughters were still inside the house when he began tearing into it.
His violent reaction has blown people away, literally. After a night of drinking, Pierwaza used a construction excavator to partially demolish his own property.
"If it's over, I'll tear the house down," says the 48-year-old. Luckily, the family members who were still inside didn't get injured, with the wife managing to call 911 in time.
Authorities said the damage was so severe that the home's structural integrity was compromised and the building may need to be completely demolished. Relationship experts recommend communication, not heavy machinery.

However, they are seeking federal approval to breed and release swarms of mosquitoes carrying an infection harmless to humans. The team wants to infect them with parasitic bacteria Wolbachia which causes sterility and produces non-viable eggs in mosquitoes.
These âgood bugs', as the company puts them, would then be released in the locations where wild mosquitoes are a constant menace to humanity.
