When Diane Andryshak left her home in Middletown, New York on Monday morning, she figured her husband would spend the day renovating their home.

Instead, her hubby, James Rhein, chose to bulldoze it, without bothering to tell her — or anyone else.

Andryshak came home to see the the house — which was in her name only — completely demolished, according to neighbor Steve Belfiglio.

“[Rhein] bulldozed all her clothes in there. Washer, dryer, furnace, hot water heater, everything was still in there. In fact, her medication was still in there,” Belfiglio told CBS New York.

Andryshak was in shock when she saw what once was her house.

Rhein told Westchester News 12 he tore down the house because the foundation was bad. He says they were living elsewhere while renovating the home.

Amazingly, Andryshak told the station she and Rhein weren’t having any marital problems before his last-minute demolition.

The sudden bulldozing didn’t just take Andryshak by surprise. Local officials were also caught off-guard.

Rhein allegedly attempted to get a permit, but couldn’t because government offices were closed because of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday.

Rhein went ahead with the bulldozing anyway, and did it without turning off gas, electricity or water.

Officers who responded to a call about a “hazardous condition” made emergency calls to the local utilities to cut the gas and electricity and prevent an explosion, the Times Herald-Record reports.

A city crew turned off everything, police told the paper.

Although no one was hurt by Rhein’s demolition, he was charged with criminal mischief and freed on $300 bail. He is due in court on Jan. 30.

Rhein claimed he did try to call his wife before tearing down the house, but she didn’t pick up the phone, according to the New York Daily News.

Andryshak is still perplexed by her husband’s actions and what the future holds.

“I have family and friends, right now I’m staying with a friend,” Andryshak told ABC7News.com. “I don’t have any answers for you, I don’t have any answers for you whatsoever.”

Meanwhile, Rhein said everything is fine between he and his wife.

“We’re good. I’m a good husband, what can I tell you?” he told NBC New York.
