The Beaver War, day 2

 Debris removed from yesterday evening.
I was worried what I would find this morning,
but the water had drained enough today
I could see the entire drain, as well as the "fortress"
dam the beavers had built around it.

 Morning of day 2.

 I started with cleaning debris from the drain itself,
then started attacking more of the side walls.

I think this picture shows a little of the depth of their wall.

Stopping for the day. 

The shovel was not very helpful so mostly used the hoe.

If the water drains enough tonight (and the beavers don't return and rebuild)

then I'll wade out in my rain boots and start attacking the far side.
