We recently had a thread on losing a 500 year old tree to rather semi-conscious workmen.
Locally (in this a.m.'s paper), we had a new roof get ripped off and replaced. The roof that got torn off was 1 year old. The house was at (not real address)
1203 66th St. The house that was supposed to have the work done was at 1203 Cooperland Dr., 3/10 of a mile away. According to the paper, and at least one person in the town of VIenna, WV, those addresses are confusing.The homeowner was out of town and came back to get told of the changes by a neighbor. Fortunately for him, the builder is reputable, so it will be put back as it was by the original roofer.
But, sheest! Confusing? 66th St. and Cooperland Dr.? With 3/10 of a mile between them, it isn't likely to have been streets nose to nose, though Vienna does wind around a bit. Nice little town.
