I dont see it?
No hinge
Jack leg.
Hmmm. Shoulda hired a faller, not a lopper.
"lopper"; is that what they call a faller who works in upside-down land?
and what happened to the "spoon carving with tom" handle you started with? Just curious about the name change.

When I click on the video I get a "your request could not be processed" (or some-such) message. I want to see the house crushed but cannot.
Hey mate, I changed it a while ago to seperate my business from my hobbies. I never expected to hang around here so used the first thing that came to mind, but when I come on here / do saws I don’t want to be thinking of work
Hmm strange! It’s a FB link to an Australian video. Do you have FB?
My wife has a FB account. I stay away from it. Will see if I can access through her account.

Aussies...... ya can't trust em 
I could of bid it cheaper!
I really wanted to see the tree hit the house.
Looks like the sawyer/dimwit didn't make any notch and cut through the hinge.

By the stump I think its the case of a sloping backcut which all pros know make it fall against its natural lean.
Cant imagine how it went wrong, or why the guy didnt stick around to get highly lucrative contract rebuilding the front of the house, 100k left on the table, rookie move.
Pay peanuts, get monkeys

100k damage?!
I'd guessed 10k, maybe 20k at the most. Could rebuild the whole place for 100k!

I know, I do that much damage falling backwards when I'm drunk. (Pun intended)
Serious note:
If you got ten grand out of that, you are making cash. The joist & trusses held out fine. A couple 3 square of roof and some soffit, gutter & fascia and paint.
Just another day at the office...if you're a hack, cowboy.
your always drunk, or full of drugs...………….
If you look at the branches all the weight was pulling it towards the house so it’s no surprise that it went that way after cutting the hinge wood. You have to look at the lean but also factor in where the crown weight will pull it.
