Moment amateur lumberjack crushes his own house

As fails go this one was pretty impressive.
The man in this video clearly misunderstood the concept of gravity when he decided to chop down a tree - a fairly unremarkable task in itself, but it proved to be too much for the amateur lumberjack.
Concerned that the tree may collapse on his house, he takes it upon himself to get rid of it and spends the best part of a day working out the best angle at which to strike the tree.

Ironic: The man set to work on the tree because he was worried it might one day fall down on his house

Timber! A man managed to crush his own home when he chopped down a nearby tree

It does not end well. It is tree: 1, man: 0 as he manages to flatten his home when his DIY attempt goes disastrously wrong.
The axeman swings his weapon at the trunk four times, driving a wedge on one side.
Lumberjack: The man in the video could learn a thing or two from this guy, who cuts a tree down no problem

That's the way to do it! Trees are cut down successfully every day but the man in the video clearly misunderstood the concept of gravity

As he stands back to admire his handiwork there is silence but for a tell-tale creaking and groaning as the conifer slowly leans toward the house, before crashing down onto it.
The cameraman can be heard saying ‘oh s***!’ as the man stands gobsmacked, staring at the pile of timber that was once his home.
He then screeches out ‘my house… my bedroom!’
Adding insult to injury, the video has been posted onto YouTube, prompting a barrage of critical comments from ‘armchair lumberjacks’.
