Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

BEAVER BENEATH THE FLOORBOARDS


So yesterday I get an email from guess where, South Carolina. And he says no kidding I think a beaver is living under my house. He’s  put in some cameras and sends me a video. He lives by a lake and his basement is near open water. And this is what he hears bumping around at night.

And I think, wow this is the luckiest man who has ever lived. An Amy Chadwick wrote that she would be handing him apple slices on a silver platter every evening. But I suppose it might get old after four or five years when he starts gnawing on the floor boards.

I called Mike Callahan who talked about finding where the beaver is getting and covering it with wire or chain link fencing. And I passed that along to our lucky friend with some other thoughts of my own.

But man oh man I need to go check my basement right now. It could happen you know, the creek is only a block away. One time a crawdad climbed all the way into our pond just on its own so you know its possible.
