Mirek Napieralski, 42, had left the team at his home in Torun, Poland, after they promised the job would take no more than a couple of hours.

 

But when he returned to check their progress, he watched on horrified as the house collapsed in front of his eyes.

 

He told the Austrian Times: "This was my parents' house and I grew up in it. Look at it now. I'm taking the builder to court."

 

Foreman, Robert Kaszubski, added: "I'm waiting for an expert's opinion. It's difficult to say whose fault it was."
