  • Very clever of the beavers to raise the water level in the pond by placing metal plates across the mouths of the overflow pipes.

  • Oh that's where the barbells got off too. Had a good chuckle at the chain loop and cinder blocks as well. Quite the collection in there. All the neighbors need to get together and volunteer to give those returning beavers a very hard time of it. They never mix well in close proximity to mankind. Their stubborn runs right up against our stubborn. Excellent results as always, yet again Chris.

Seeing here what they can do and how much effort has to be devoted to fixing the problem makes me wonder if this is the best thing to do. Nonetheless it is fascinating to see how pond overflows can be designed to accommodate beaver issues.
