    There is a lake in the Adirondacks Mt in NY and the lake is as large as it is because beavers laid trees across standing trees and then packed mud and debris against it to seal it off. If you go in the stream side of it ,it is a log wall with the water several feet over your head

    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.

    Beavers (more or less) died out in the UK in the 17C but some are being reintroduced. 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.

    I grew up on a backhoe and would consider myself an operator 10000 + hours or so but from watching your videos for years having no experience on an excavator i was confident enough to take job as an excavator operator. So far so good, the first few days was a bit of a learning curve but I got it now. Not gonna lie I kept trying to spin the seat around lol

    I'm so very curious about the barbells! Perhaps some kind of improvised weight for the pipes! The cement blocks with a chain do concern me though! Where the body?
