Below are pictures of a private school that had a three story section
collapse early on a Sunday morning back in January. Could you imagine
if this had happened during a school day with the classrooms full of students. 
The official cause of the collapse; a contractor had excavated too much
of the soil away from the foundation in the area of the collapse.

There appears to be a moderate amount of dirt erosion in the area of the foundation. Recommend further evaluation of the condition by a dirt contractor, today

You can fess up. I hear that the state highway dept just purchased your front yard so they can widen the highway. Heard that you made a fortune on the state buy back
