Dam Build Time-lapse of Today
We have been working on the base of the dam for a while. Today we rounded the corner of the pond outline and this is our day in Time-lapse.
We keep the pond drained which is a daily challenge. There is ponds all around us and at least 1 acre of this corner of our property is never dry. We decided to make a pond out of it since that is what is wants to be anyway.
All four in in family work on this, all on Kubota's. We tried to hire this out, called 3 companies, 1 showed up, ZERO estimates. So we just keep rolling.

Ride with me Lane Shark LS-2 and Review

The terrain is horrible due to Hurricane Michael....... this area WAS dense forest until the storm 😞 2 years later and we are still clearing land and maintaining our new fields. Review at the end. Great implement for what I need. The longer I use...
Excavator Burn Pile Cleanup

    This seems atypical of beaver construction, this seems like it’s just debris buildup from the hurricane that struck you. Beavers don’t use fences in their construction.

    • @SandraOpines
      @SandraOpines 2 года назад

      You people STILL don't read do you? We know it is beavers, we know the difference between Dams and Dens. They use what is available. The fence keeps them from building in the middle of the culvert. It costs thousands of dollars when they build in the middle of a culvert and you have to bring in an excavator to clean it. I am just shocked at the ignorance in the comments Just insane.

    • @hexium_
      @hexium_ 2 года назад

      @@SandraOpines What do you mean “You people”? I came to my own conclusion free from external influence. I simply offered my discernment and moved on. Sad that you take someone freely commenting on your video as an insult. Anyways, what you pulled out of the entrance to the culvert is debris, NOT beaver construction. It is neither a beaver dam, nor a beaver lodge. Beavers build dams using organic materials including tree trunks, branches, vegetation, and mud. They do not use metal fences. Why do you think in this video the water turbidity is so high? Why do you think the ground is so damp everywhere? Why do you think there are felled trees everywhere, laying down in the ground? It is because of the hurricane, not beavers. Beavers don’t build inside of culverts that small, the diameter of the pipe is too small to build and maintain structure. Let us consider the occluded pipe for a moment. You mentioned in the video that the beavers must have buried it there to stop the water from running. Now consider that an extremely powerful hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph has just swept over your property. Which is more likely to cause widespread damage? Which is going to spread debris over a large area? Not beavers certainly. This particular incident wasn’t beavers. It wasn’t their construction. This happened because a hurricane knocked over a fence, and because of high waters, it rushed down stream. As the water got closer to the culvert, it sped up in accordance with Bernoulli’s principle. This drew the fence closer, faster, along with other debris that happened to be flowing. The fence, obviously too large to fit into the culvert became occluded at its entrance. The high water turbidity meant that there was a great amount of suspended solids in the water, explaining why it seems buried when it was pulled out. The suspended solids dropped out when the water stagnated, sinking to the bottom. Because the fence was not initially completely blocking the culvert, it allowed water to keep flowing. This drew even more debris to the culvert, which was snagged on the fence, eventually completely occluding the culvert. It is also untrue that they use whatever available. If the supply of trees is depleted, they invariably abandon their site. They don’t go looking for more or different materials, or whatever’s available, they leave. Not Beavers.

      The stump grinders are a CHORE for sure. We found it was just as economical for us to hire an excavator to snatch the rootballs out.

Good thing I enjoy leveling with my planer. LOL It never ends. <3

    We just got through planting 35 Bald Cypress saplings in areas in our community park, easements and along the Colonial Gas Pipeline where the areas are low and swampy either permanently or temporarily here in Northern Virginia. Bald Cypress is native to many parts of Virginia and unfortunately, over the centuries were logged over in many areas to the point of being extirpated. The Virginia Department of Forestry sells them fairly cheap and encourages replanting them. I have two planted at my house that are about 14 years old that are over 30 feet tall. A great hardy tree that has its origins in the time of the dinosaurs.
