Assuming that you don't have access to surveying equipment, one way is to wait until a sunny day and use a 3' rule and a piece of string. Mark a circle on the ground with a radius of 3'. Hold the ruler vertically in the centre of the circle with one end touching the ground. When the shadow of the rule exactly touches the circle, you know the shadow is the same length as the rule. Look for the shadow of the house, place a marker at where the shadow of the top of house ends. Then use a tape measure to measure the distance from the marker to the house. As the rule shadow is the same length as the rule, the house shadow will be the same length as the height of the house.
