Beaver Dam Diaries: Inside the Life of a Busy Beaver Builder

Beaver, scientifically known as Castor Canadensis, is an industrious rodent. It’s not just cute and cuddly (though they’re that too!), they are also skill architects, famous for their astounding feat of engineering – beaver dam. Just envision a sprawling network of sticks, stones and mud, crafted to transform babbling brooks into tranquil ponds. That’s merely a glance into the enthralling realm of beaver dam. Let’s dig deep into their life – from evolution to conservation status. Read the full article

I mentioned not too long ago, that this is what happens when people buy a church or school to convert and don't have the means or expertise to do it professionally. It didn't turn out as they envisioned, so they give up and put it up for sale. This is a 1916 church in Beaverdam, Ohio. The description says it has 2bds, and 2ba, but that can definitely change with a new buyer. Priced at $235K.

Entrance lobby with a wide opening and accordion doors.

In the main space they've arranged a living room set in front of the altar pews and placed a board with an old altar cloth on it to make a TV stand.

That's all there is in the vast main body of the church. The altar is still standing and judging by the original carpet, faded where the pews once were, it would be very costly to do new flooring of any kind. A couple of the original pews are along the side walls.

There's low book shelving on the altar, which can be expanded on, to either make a kitchen or family room. Can you imagine having to heat this vast empty space? No wonder they're selling. That may be something they didn't consider- the utilities on a place this big.

I'm sure that the mezzanine and stairs were here. I don't know if the owners built the "rooms," or if they were here as offices, etc.

Taking advantage of the cubicles, they made the 2 bedrooms that are in the description.

The middle one is set up as an office.

And, they turned the last one into a bath.

I can't tell- they may have put up the walls to make the cubicles. Anyway, there are another 3 on the 2nd level.

These are the other bedrooms and they've hung rods for curtains in the large openings, both upstairs and down.

Stairs to the basement.

Down in the huge, open basement. What is in that cage? Looks like a very large bird.

They have a kitchen table and a bedroom set up in the corner.

There are some cabinets, but not a kitchen.

It looks like they're using the former church kitchen as their kitchen.

There's a serving window and maybe heat lamps? Notice how worn the floor is.

Half bath down here.

Plus storage.

The front is cute with lattices on both sides of the door and it looks like they planted a garden and put up a chicken wire fence surrounding the property. Also, looking at the front, there has to be a cool bell tower inside.

The carpet on the those stairs has to go.

For the price it's a very large brick building. I wonder if there are fireplaces attached to the 2 big chimneys.

The listing doesn't give the square footage of the lot, but it's gigantic.

Cute brick BBQ needs redoing. Seriously, it's a large property with a lot of potential, for $235K, but the buyer will have to have some money set aside to fix it up.

BUCKINGSIMSHIRE, Windenburg (SNN) - - Months of preparation, 1,600 pieces of cutlery and dozens of esteemed guests… SNN reveals all that will go into Queen Katherine’s big night.

State Visits are formal visits by Heads of State, designed to strengthen ties between the two nations involved. The last incoming State Visit to the UK was in Jan 2023 when King George hosted South Marvanian President, Mandela Ofoluwah.

As she was grieving and also pregnant, the queen did not host any state visits during her first year as queen. Her Majesty also spent much of her pregnancy at her Brindleton Bay home, Beaverdam, all to the opposition of parliament.

This year marks the palaces first state visit in over two years, and it's a significant one. Niregia has not visited Windenburg in over a century; though the two nations share a common connection: Queen Lara-Leigh, a Niregian-born princess!

- The visit marks Queen Katherine's first state visit since becoming monarch

The Queen has pulled out all the stops to ensure Prince Sobwati III has a splendid time in the country, involved in not just the governmental aspects of his visit but planning the details at the palace, more specifically, the state dinner.

Queen Katherine, while Duchess of Brindleton Bay, was heavily involved in many state dinners during the reign of King George. Her Majesty discussed how she plans to honor the late monarch next week.

"The late King only visited the country [Niregia] once, as Prince of Brindleton Bay, but expressed great admiration for the country and its people, its vibrancy, natural beauty and diversity. I want the banquet to bring all of those things to life... as well as through art. We also relocated my father's famous 2022 George painting to the ballroom for the special occasion! He'll be close."

As host, the queen oversees all aspects of the state dinner which is held at the palace on night one. The venue, as ever, will be the opulent Ballroom, where the traditional horseshoe shaped table will be laid with some 1,600 pieces of cutlery and hundreds of pieces of crockery; each laid with military precision and personally signed off by the Queen herself.

The grand ballroom has hosted dignitaries, royals, celebrities, and more since the reign of Edward I.

- The Duke and Duchess of Kent resume a role they first undertook in 1995

This morning, the Palace released the itinerary of Prince Sobwati's three day visit next week, revealing that Prince Louis and Margot will both be playing a major role in proceedings; a role they often played during the early reign of Louis' brother, King George.

Prince Sobwati and his wife will be greeted by the Duke and Duchess of Kent at his Easton hotel on behalf of the Queen, on Friday morning. In 2022, Katherine and Rainier greeted the President of South Marvania on behalf of the King. After taking on more duties at the age of 21, this duty fell to Katherine, in her role at the time of Duchess of Brindleton Bay.

They will then travel together to the palace for a ceremonial welcome with Queen Katherine. Traditionally, the ceremonial welcome takes place at the Horse Guards Parade [before a carriage procession back to the palace] but road construction has halted those plans.

- Queen Katherine with her Private Secretary's and the Lord Chamberlain

A white tie banquet will be held on Friday evening, with the Queen and Queen Mother both appearing in tiaras. Speeches will be made by the Queen, and by the prince.

This sequence follows the format traditionally adopted during the reign of the late King.

As part of tradition, on Saturday morning, Prince Sobwati will plant a tree in Edward park. Visiting Heads of State are giving the option to either plant a tree in Edward park or lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at Memorial Arch.

Prime Minister Linwood Keller will be next to receive a visit from Prince Sobwati, who will meet him in Downing Street before heading to the Palace of Windsor. There, he will give a special address to both Houses of Parliament. SNN will air the daytime address.

On Sunday, the prince will make stops and speeches at the Foreign Embassy in Platz Plaza, the Energy Centre in south Easton, and the Windenburg Royal Museum before heading back to the Palace to bid farewell to the Queen.

[mawofthemagnetar]

went kayaking with my poor boomer father a few weeks back. Please spare a thought for him, because as we were navigating a couple of beaverdams I referred to our tactic as "the new meta" and I have never seen a more profound combination of confusion and despair cross that man's face in my life.
