Building Cat Condos

Didn't finish the condos but made some solid progress. Also, my outlook on my ankle was quite grim in this video. I recognize many people have it far worse than I do and I'm grateful to be alive and healthy. The documentary 'crip camp' is extremely powerful and eye-opening. I highly recommend watching it.

[@scottyprobert3480]

Dean, really glad you’re healing and making videos again. On NYE 2019, I was shot several times in an attempted homicide. I spent five months in-and-out of hospitals and am still recovering from my wounds. With these kinds of serious injuries, there will probably be a lifetime of some frustration coupled with an appreciation of things not having gone worse. Your videos mean a lot to many people and I still remember how excited I was to catch up on Neighborhoods when I got out of the hospital in February. Keep at it!

[@quinndemand]

3:58 "This damn ankle has robbed me of [being able to be] completely engaged." I'm sorry, Dean. I will say that your work following the injury however has been nothing but engaging. Recovery has taken you in some super cool, new and interesting directions.

[@Theyralltakenfu]

This was a nice comment to write, and I agree with you.

[@patrickmetcalf3147]

Hey Dean! I'm from Ohio and watch your videos, my partner is from PA and we love to watch your videos together. About 5 months ago when I found your channel I was dealing with a similar situation. Couldn't walk because I shattered my accessory bone in a skateboarding accident. Every time I walked it would slowly cut away my tendon in my ankle, I 100% understand the whole constantly thinking of your ankle and the things you can't do because of it. You're not alone! Keep pushing! PT and physical activity is the key. Best of luck -Random guy with messed up ankle

[@thr33]

Dean has some of the best audio tracks on his videos. Great musical taste 👌

[@ToxicMetropolis]

So true.

[@ethanbox2010]

I don't know Dean. But, I suffered some injuries in a motorcycle injury in 2018. And, when he talks about the mental and emotional experience of the healing process, I know exactly where he's coming from. I hope he's doing better and living his best life.

[@reuben9896]

Love your videos going to neighborhoods. hopefully you get better soon and can get back to making these awesome videos!

[@olliepaterson6665]

As a photographer/videographer I have a pretty gnarly scar on my ankle from a skiing/sake combo 'accident'. Its been 10 years, the ankle works but it hurts after a big day. However, I can be completely engaged while creating. Hope that gives you some hope my man. Keep up the inspiring work. Keep up the recovery.

[@thomaswood7177]

Dude I know it's frustrating but keep it up! I'm a chef who severed a tendon in my hand (sharpening a knife) and had to get reconstructive surgery. It's been a trip but I'm almost back to everything I could do before. You are an inspiration! Keep fucking trying.

[@Anita-zf9re]

I Pray that you're Well, Healing & Staying Safe🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

[@markjszymanski]

Keep working on that ankle no matter what predictions you get about future mobility, man. Believe in getting it back to normal and you'll get there! Best of luck, brother! Another great vid, too.

[@andrewhotchkiss3466]

We hope your ankle is doing better. Your neighborhood content is awesome. I hope that you're doing better, there's people pulling for you.

[@go_shoot]

the tennis shot/monologue turned out so good, props!

[@kentharvey7323]

I hope that things are going well with your ankle!

[@jonahbayer10]

Yo Oscar for real will never stop letting himself in. The real OG of the run

[@Audioobscure]

You're so talented. I don't live in pburg but know you do so much good and matter.

[@crg233]

This is excruciating to watch. Yet, you are showing progress. Six years ago I had a debilitating neurological illness that basically ruined my ability to walk. I have clawed some of it back but it's a slow go. Persist, but gently. Crip Camp is powerful and even though I had accidentally migrated into that community I was clearly ignorant of the history and the stories brought to life in the documentary.

[@trinity1870]

Also sending healing vibes to your ankle

[@brandonsullivan7095]

Man really needing a new Dean video to watch, been way to long

[@Cytosolic_chexmix]

Hey man, love the videos! I know the PT for your ankle is probably really annoying and painful, but keep with it! I broke my right leg over 5 years ago and i am back to running and playing soccer without any worries. Just want to encourage you to stick it out through this tough part.

[@evanschardt8401]

It might be worth talking to your doctor about wearing an ankle brace while sleeping. Usually your toes end up pointing while sleeping and it causes the ankle and calf to reduce flexibility. By wearing a brace on your injured ankle, you can reduce the range of motion while sleeping and keep your ankle close to the "standing position" which you show in the video. Worked wonders for a family members ankle issues they had in the morning.

[@djdujour1168]

Keep taking care of that ankle, massage it everyday with healing oils (Arnica, St Johns Wort), and keep moving safely. You will heal! Best of luck. Love your videos. Also try Comfrey compresses and tea.

[@phubans]

Dean! I swear I saw you (or a dude that looked EXACTLY) like you on Taylor St in Bloomfield last week! Hope all is well, please make some more videos soon

[@1090Jake]

Does anyone else miss this dude's channel? Me too.

[@benemanuel8134]

playing tennis underneath the bridge looks like alotta fun, I'm jealous!!

[@Thenormalguy101]

when i was young i used to play this game behind my house called walls. There was a portion of the wall you had to hit and you could only kick the soccer ball once. it was so much fun cause sometimes the unlucky person would have to kick the ball from a really awkward and difficult position, you could also play this game by yourself which is nice.

[@benemanuel8134]

@@Thenormalguy101 i feel like it’s something you could easily play for hours on end!

[@MarissaLynnFiore]

hope your ankle is doing better

[@alexyerkey3141]

Yo I definitely saw you Hittin the tennis ball there before, I play hockey behind that wall a lot

[@Icyle]

Hey Dean, I am so happy to have found your channel. May I email you to ask your thoughts on a few questions regarding relocating? Many thanks. :) Cupping may also help your ankle. I practice it professionally and find it's pretty beneficial post injury. You can likely find silicone cups on Amazon, or elsewhere online.

[@tricatfilms6136]

And I thought i was the only one who LOVES just hitting a ball against a wall NOT MADE for tennis and the challenge of the rectangle target stuff lol

[@ChristianFlanagan]

The best tool for taking apart pallets is a reciprocating saw with a hacksaw blade. Don't cut the wood. Cut the nails and just leave them in. Trying to remove them will only destroy the wood.

[@eggzz72]

Dean, I love your videos so much! My wife and I watch them together and you provide such great entertainment for us. Keep up the great work! You are a very talented man! We are waiting patiently for the next video. Take care!

[@georgelee2920]

Great job on the latest video. I appreciate your work.

[@icarusridickerus]

Fuck, that ankle looks so painful. Really hoping it continues to improve

[@natedarnell]

Love your videos! They literally make my day

[@Tmisp2209]

How much elevating and icing are you doing for the ankle? Wishing you a speedy recovery, man!

[@alanrichardson9449]

Physical therapy friend. That shit is brutal. Another well shot video.

[@defensivebadges2k156]

You should go to crafton heights

[@christianwindecher8051]

Hello Dean, I was planning on moving to Pittsburgh soon, and was wondering if you of any plans out there that help first time home buyers move out there. Please contact me here if you do. Thanks

[@Px828]

Same. I'm planning on moving to Pittsburgh soon and have just discovered Dean's Neighborhood series. Really good work.

[@DashingAgent]

I'm sorry you're not able to do what you love, Dean, but I really appreciate you making these videos regardless. They've been very inspiring and entertaining. Keep up the good work!

[@ryankenyon5010]

Where have you been? Hope all is well.

[@theeckstrom195]

Dean, I find your videos very therapeutic and relaxing. Also, of course, I love the fact that you’re from Pittsburgh too! Would love to meet you and maybe get some coffee when COVID has run it’s course.

[@Waldzkrieger]

Half-Asleep Chris: Yinzer DLC Glad to see you back!

[@Stiofan42]

Loving all the videos you are putting out! While you are recovering I'm sure you have old unused footage, people of PGH. Random talks with people like your old bus story talks.

[@danpatel21]

Créme de dumpe?

[@denisewalker7235]

You're Back , !

[@Cameron-df2vu]

Watched Paddleton recently have you?

[@rain73ful]

I was wondering why you hadn't made any videos in while, but I'm glad your on the mind, and Oscar is cute!

[@MrNobody10000]

I came here for the music.

[@ruskyalmond1977]

Bro your videos are so amazing. WOW!

Slow grind, but you're making progress. There's no magic formula to it, only time and work. Stay in the zone!

[@CorinneWoods]

I use that blender everyday. Love it.

i have a friend with a bad foot

[@samhenzler1596]

Wtf ..did they put it together bad.

[@trinity1870]

Love it; Love the vibes~~~~~~

[@leisure057blank3]

Whipped cream on a green smoothy, never thought of that.

[@Audioobscure]

Oscar is going to disappear one day and get locked in a shed or basement for the rest of his life

[@KevinMay222]

Transmuting pain into art is a noble feat. Btw, have you seen the epic video called "Dream" by Maximus Thor? I think he his your long lost brother :)

[@flyjarrett]

Dean, are you having Thanksgiving dinner from a dumpster?

[@itsdaveynft]

Damnit Oscar.

[@Elise__Mae]

As promised! Condo construction!

[@CrabClawCreative]

Be like Oscar, man.

[@ryankenyon5010]

I'm trying to not take my ankles for granted.

[@natedarnell]

Hey dean! What kind of lenses do you have on your lumix?

[@anto5100]

how far did you wheel those pallets from four mile run??

[@archenema6792]

Umm.... ever heard of a crowbar? or a claw hammer?

[@ToxicMetropolis]

Even better: lifting bar / pallet buster.

[@user-rp1uk2zl5z]

😍😍

[@toni-lynnestrasser887]

Hey Dean, Check out this link to build places for🐱's & 🐶's for winter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmiTXoqbqdynhrM Looks rather easy if you have a drill. Hope your ankle is recovering (I'm sure slower than you would like)! 🎁Happy Holidays to you!🎄

[@denismanace]

When I broke my left foot , I was in roboboot for three months. It's alright , give it time . 🌻🛸BoG

[@rokeeffe91]

What happened to your ankle??

[@ddi1558]

You should try some CBD. Might help with the ankle.

[@silentshredr]

If not THC might do something

[@peaceandwealthseeker4504]

Just was about to type he needs a thca/cbd topical. Papa and Barkley make a CA only version that works miracles. I bet they have expanded to PA or if not let me know

[@gavinpeterson5323]

You just made this video to make sure you didn’t lose subscribers, huh? Be honest.

[@jaygotda9538]

Can we please get some neighborhoods of Pittsburgh episodes sometime
