Eric is a lifelong carpenter, doting father, and master home renovator who purchased a fixer-upper in Macon with hopes to renovate it and create housing for his children and grandchildren. As soon as he bought the house, Eric began repairing it by hand. In the months that followed, he removed all debris from the property, leveled the yard, painted the house, replaced its front door, and repaired its roof. He also purchased materials for future renovations, like drywall and bathroom flooring, which he stored inside the home. Eric’s house was well on its way to becoming the family homestead he dreamed of but before that happened Macon-Bibb County demolished his property with no court proceeding, no notice, and no financial compensation.
