Leave it to a boat builder to notice the absence of a boat.W.

From time to time the beavers would stop up that pipe and flood the entire property, several feet deep.<br /><br />They also managed to cut down quite a few of my cottonwood trees, some as large as a foot in diameter. I use an axe. They use their teeth!<br /><br />One day I was watching the Discovery channel and saw how ranchers were solving the beaver problem. They installed a wire fence in a semi-circle which was several feet in front of the drainage pipe. That prevented the beavers from approaching the spot where they wanted to build a dam and they moved on. <br /><br />I did exactly the same thing, and it solved the problem. This year they moved about 200 yards down the road and built their dam on another creek. That resulted in the destruction of the road. However the work to repair it was not my problem. <br /><br />I can tell you from personal experience that beavers never rest.W.

There is one like that in the opening theme of MASH. <br /><br />I am a bit jealous, that you have beavers near your cabin, Woodworking wild life animals. That is hard to beat that one.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.com
