At the cost of ruining the joke… no you won’t. Even if you do it under inert atmosphere, you’ll get oxide inclusions.
You would get a perfect cast if you yeet the house out to space first, then let everything outgas for a while. Then pour molten aluminum through the chimney.
The joke is some scientists do this with (inactive/abandoned) ant nests to study how they are designed. And thus comparing humans to ants against these giant aliens

Aluminum is a bitch to work with.

Ahhhh, figures. As you might have guessed, I’m more into materials science than biology ;)

Backyard scientists do it to active ground wasp nests as a form of flashy extermination.

Wouldn't the problem be the house would catch on fire?

It will start to smell after a few days but after a while it stops.
