Thursday night, 9:30pm, watching some TV. I hear a crash come from the side of the house and the windows rattle a little bit.

I had a good guess as to what happened. A few months ago a beaver had been doing this in the greenbelt next to my house.


I grabbed the spotlight and confirmed my suspicions. These are from the next morning.

Master bedroom deck:


View down to greenbelt:


From the ground:


View of roof, just missed my skylight:


Scene of the crime:


Doesn't look like any branches pierced the roof so damage is minimal. Climbing up there tomorrow to get a better look after we get the tree down.

First instinct was to get the .22 and exact my revenge... but my neighbors like him around so we'll let WDFW take care of it.

HOA probably won't pay despite the fact I had them take out the first cottonwood pictured and some other beaver damaged trees. They also wrapped some trees in the greenbelt to keep the beaver away. However this tree was 50ft from the waters edge it didn't seem like he'd come that far up.
