I like the matter of fact way she says - "we just took out half the house. well.."

Utter stupidity..

1. why did they need to cut that tree down?
2. lucky, could have been worse

Stupidity can sometimes be poetic. In this case... quite.

This is like "Cloverfield" for Canadians.

1. why did they need to cut that tree down?


So that a storm wouldn't blow it down on top of the house.

Didn't top the tree first, didn't line the tree, and didn't even cut the base correctly to drop it 'not the wrong way.' Seems like a well thought out plan went in to effect here!

Top the tree off as flechette said. Also his notch on the 'fall' side was FAR FAR FAR too small. You can barely see it.

Oh well. Maybe he can have the local lumber mill cut boards out of the tree, and use them to rebuild the porch

Noooo doubt... Idiot. I have no clue how to do that job professionaly and even I have a better understand of how to do that so it'll fall to the left, open field direction. shit now I want to go cut me down a big tree just to do it.

Is that one of those 'paper houses' I saw on the sift the other day?

TURN OFF THE GOD DAMN CHAIN SAW.

I was sure there would be a second disaster.

god that pie cut is way to small, to fell that tree properly you would need a bigger pie cut with a line cut on the back and throw a couple of wedges in it and you are good to go.

NO no guys. It was perfect the way it happened.

If only there was some way to easily get instructions on how to cut down a tree...

That housing bubble just got popped!

the motor can be running without the chain spinning

I love the body language of the guy with the chainsaw just as the porch roof goes. Such devastation in a mere droop of the shoulders. It's almost poetic.

I had to cut down a tree near a house once. I was smart enough to call a professional to drop it. Then I used my chainsaw to cut it up. Saved me money, and the house was safe from me.

He should have taken a hint when the chain kept jamming.

Even if you're not exactly sure how it's going to fall.. wouldn't you at least cut it 90 degrees from how he did it now? Then it could still go either way, but at least not.. into the house.

Thats why you get someone who knows how to cut down a freaking tree instead of running out, buying a chainsaw and doing it yourself with zero experience.

It's also why every year at least a dozen people die when a tree falls on them.

We pulled down 10 or 15 trees 60-80 ft tall really close to my house. We ran a rope about 15 feet up each tree with a ladder, wrapped it around another tree away from the house and tied it to the Suburban pulling at a 90 degree angle. The trees go where you want them every time.

The commentary makes the video!

Set up some ropes to prevent it from falling the wrong way, duh.

At least when the log lied, nobody died.

"And it's going the WRONG WAY... OH MY GOSH!" Awesome fail.
