    You don't need to let us know it's municipality... We know.
    You speak English better than most people I know in NY.
    And the majority of us in America only speak one language. You've no idea the respect I have for those who speak multiple languages.

    Instead of municipality you could say city, town, or village depending on its size. I think you are right in trying to loosen the mud on the back side of the dam. You may not need a lot. If you can cut a wedge down low as far as your shovel will allow when you clear the front side I would think it would collapse.

  • @RikFreemanPhotographer

    That was a monster dam, truly, well built and strong. Congrats on the invite from the municipality. Would that mean you have access to there tools and resources to aid you in the dam removal?

    As I was watching you on this episode, I noticed you were doing something and I think if you expand on it, you can collapse the damn quicker. Before letting the water loose, you usually stomp the mud behind the dam dig it deeper and I would give you more water power to push the dam over for collaps it. Just a thought.

    You work hard to drain the backed up water but if you want to discourage the rebuilding of the dams you have to destroy the dam fully. I know it’s much more work, but if you don’t bring down the entire length the beavers are more likely to rebuild. Thanks for the entertainment.
