Interesting little factoid lol... If you find an Enderman and you have a water bucket.. empty the bucket next to him and once it touches him he starts to die. So if you want to protect your house from being torn apart piece by piece I suggest maybe putting water around it however you want. It's kind of like the whole witch melting on the Wizard of Oz. Except it's an Enderman and he just dies instead of melting.
