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.

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

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.

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’.

Why he not trim tree?

Hmmm... NIST report said it should have fallen in its own footprint. I wonder what went wrong?

well, his home is now more effectively camouflaged.

Jewgle will have to update their Street View.

"oh shit"

I'll never understand all the youtube videos of people nailing their vehicles, and houses when taking a tree down.

I've always found it to be a straightforward process.

Thanks for the LOL.
