    He had a pull line and attempted cut a notch for a hinge. the problem was not enough tension on the pull line, and the notch was not deep enough. When trying to fell a tree against its natural lean more than 1 pull line should be used and the notch has to be deeper than normal. In order to make a house killer tree fall where you want it the pull lines have to force it to lean away from the house before making the final cut.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    He should have taken a moment to look up the definition of gravity.

    with a lean like that, I'd "block it down"
