/ @628dirtrooster This job here just keeps on giving. We are now in mid January, two and a half months after this job, and I'm still dealing with hip and leg pain from that fall. It's waking me up at night. My injuries didn't fully reveal themselves for about a week after the job. I'm still uncertain of the full extent of damage. I think I may have fractured a bone in my foot but I never went to the hospital to get anything checked. It is only because I've herniated disks in my back before that I know what some of this pain is. Yes, I have a herniated disk, likely from when I landed with my full weight plus forty pounds of tools on my right knee sending a shock through my back.
We recently returned from the Hive Life conference where I was in pretty severe pain most of the time but I hid it the best I could. No one knew I was injured except my wife. By the end of day two of the conference I was sitting down as much as possible. We were able to bring my dad to the conference and with the aid of a wheel chair he got to attend most of both days. For a little while I thought I was going to need to join him in a wheel chair of my own. I am now trying to stay off my feet and recuperate. That's tough to do and still make a living but we'll get by. I have to be ready for 2022 cut outs so rest and recovery is my focus at the moment.
I have to give big love to Mike Barry and Rick (can't remember Rick's last name but he's from Idaho) for both pitching in to help with unloading, setup and re loading of our booth before and after the conference. Those guys and two other's whose names I can't recall were an immense help. They saved my bacon without knowing the need. Thank you guys!!

Randy, so sorry you fell and got hurt and hopefully there’s no permanent ailments from the fall! That was a beautiful sunset and great footage especially to be driving while filming. It was good to talk to you in TN and one of these days I’m going to come down your way and catch up with you on your turf.
Rooster perfection as usual. Thanks for sharing. We are heading out to video hives in the snow. Definitely an oddity in our area. No telling what kind of shenanigans are in store. Glad you are ok.
If I was there I'd make some nice snow angels for the video.
Where are y'all located Craig
@@markbooth8458 piedmont of N.C.
I’ll be honest dirt rooster one of favorite channels to watch. Randy’s a good dude.
You're too kind Shelby
Love watching your cutouts! I did my first in October but luckily didn’t have to get into any deconstruction. I used to work in Biloxi!
Wow! The video of the scenery and sunset was simply icing on the cake!
Really enjoyed it...beautiful area.
Hope your leg is better.
Glad to see you up walking around at the Hive life conference after a spill like that!!! Also wanted to tell you that the scenic shots you add to your beekeeping removals is so inspiring to make a person get up and move to go see stuff like that!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!
I always love your broll. Peaceful
I really like your video style. Taking your time to stop and look at the small things - well edited too.
I appreciate that!
Started watching this as soon as I got home. Another great removal mixed with some funny moments. Hearing you describe your fall has my knees hurting out of sympathy. 😥 Sure hope your doing well.
Thanks for the thoughts Aline
another great video 👍🏼🤠🇨🇦❤️
Little advice to home owners getting work done someone falls through your deck don't be nit picking. not everyone is as nice as the dirt rooster a lot of people would have went for the lawsuit.
Why are rich people so nasty sometimes? Be thankful for your blessings and try to be kind. It goes A long way.
Beautiful scenery at the end!! :)
It was a great day for some sun gazing.
Loctite Power Grab might be useful helping put the wood panel back up. It sets in a minute and can hold while using fasteners to secure it
Get well soon! And don't hesitate to go get it checked out.
I can’t even do removals here in Texas without a suit. Maybe our wild bees here are much more defensive than the LA bees
They can be a little more testy over there.
Hey ROOSTER 🐔 hope y’a ain’t hurt fer long bud!! Tell partner Pete it’s his job to check them walkways.
Man I hope you heal. Praying for it.
Where's the video of the fall? Pete sent it in to TV for $250? I loved his alligator comment. Top stuff! I presume that after she complained about the sag and the squaring of the board she gave you her insurance details for you to claim against her rotten decking? Love the camera shots at the end. what is that bridge?
I didn't bother with her insurance. Probably should have.
That is the hwy 90 bridge from Biloxi to Ocean Springs.
People so ungrateful. You get hurt on her property and she had the nerve to say that. The place is falling apart and she’s worried about one little corner of a board. People are crazy. Well I hope you’re OK
Get better brother
Thanks Jeremy
Nice!
Some custermers can't be pleased,just send her a doctor bill for fall from rotten deck,can u say home owners insurance
Thanx 4 the hard work video's
I wish I had gone to the doctor. All this time later and I still have hip pain from that. I figured it would heal eventually
Not pink salmon color
That's right! My wife bought me a "salmon" colored shirt one time. I hated it. lol
Hey DirtRooster. Thank you for the video, the photography, the music, the sunset. They are much appreciated. You're in my thoughts. I hope you get better soon. Having rheumatoid arthritis and sciatica myself, I have an idea how you feel. Don't let it get you down. God bless and see you soon.
I'll get all healed up eventually. I hope you find a way to get some relief.
I walked for 6 months on a broken foot, telling myself to suck it up, cupcake. It'll heal. Finally I went to the doctor and ended up having to have surgery to remove all the bone fragments. Save yourself months of trouble and just go and get it fixed.
The foot seems to be healing up, it's the hip that's really killing me. If it doesn't ease up after this week I'll go get Xrays.
Sorry about the fall...those injuries can take a while to heal! Remember when climbing up a ladder "good (leg) up first" and when climbing down "bad (leg) down first". That was a life changer for me. Great footage of the sunset!
Good luck with your injury. You did such a good job of describing it my knee hurts now.
Camp Howze Jan 88-Jan89
There was so much smoke coming out of that smoker, my eyes started to water. Hope your knee recovers fully. Thanks for posting the beautiful sunset video Randy.
Always wonderful to see you and Pete working together so funny
Pete we missed you at the HLC!! Randy, we are praying for you after that bad fall.
You still doing removals this time of the year. Oh wait it’s not cold there.. 😂 snowing in the Jackson area.
Yep, still got them calling.
This was probably months ago
Yeah I see after watching this was Oct though.
Hope by now your doing a lot better. Hope you got insurance information from owner. Love your endings. Your pictures or videos of the area are beautiful.
Dude....that popcorn soundtrack in the opening was hilarious... great choice for audio of the bee catching. Bwahaha
Every good movie needs popcorn.
@16:27 Mr. Paul those bees like it when you SNAP those rubber bands against them. ;)
Now I know why you were relaxin at the booth at #hivelife good to see you are bouncing back. Good cutout btw
It was because I was tore up from the floor up. :)
Yaay, it's only 6 months old I can leave a message :D. (Forgets message...)
much respect,ive never been to Louisiana, props to you for your carpentry skills in a tough spot,i wanted to make hive life,but next year i sure want to,great sunsets ,...thank you,no mites thats cool
Boy you're whole a lot nicer than I would have been. I would have told her that because of her rotten deck I got hurt. And I'd make sure I sent the bill to her insurance company. Yes I know. Not very nice. But it just burns me when people all of a sudden see how bad their deck is after you've worked on it not before. And then you show us all the squirrel holes 🤦🏻
Heal like a youngster. After the citrus run in Manatee county the saw palmetto honey comes next and is a favorite for folks with allergies.
Great video sir. Glad you didn’t break your legs or anything. That could have been a lot worse. Keep yourself safe and maybe some camera training is in store for your help. Lol!!
Half a dozen rat holes & the customer had the audacity too complain about her Olde $hit Board not being square. Yeah, make perfect sense... that's the world we live in! Kudos to you for stickin' out all day on a ladder after scuffing your shins & knees. I think that customer should gift you a new smoker... at the least.;)
Both of you on the ladder...I don't recommend it... y'all funny! When does the roach master start his new job? :)
I start stomping tomorrow. I'm learning the palmetto bud two step.
Blast your furry face, you DO take some F I NE pictures as the sun goeth down. Glad Pop got to go to the shindig with yall and also sorry you busted it. I got sciatica from driving a truck with the clutch set up for a blasted midget. Ended up going for acupuncture for it and I HATE ANY KIND of a needle but it helped. If you don't start getting some relief from the foot/leg/back (try hot epsom salts soaks and maybe ice) go get you some x-rays. Might be more going on than you know. My right knee is prone to gout and when I was driving a mixer I was standing up in the cab and ready to SCREAM when I got to a job 45 minutes away. BAD stuff. Dump trucks had more leg room but I can go to town (22 miles one way) and feel it in that knee when I get back My Mammy said that getting old ain't for sissies. Prayers for yall!
Take it easy on yourself Lewie. When I was a teenager I hyperextended my left knee pretty bad playing football. It didn't completely recover for many years. I grew up in a body shop and we had an old wrecker with a stiff clutch that I drove a lot. Going on too many calls with it would make my knee hurt really bad even as a young healthy buck. I don't think I could drive a big truck for any length of time, especially these days. I would be a knee replacement candidate for sure. I feel for you.
Sounds like you lucked out have job security with this one. Maybe even put Pete on full time.
We could have a whole new channel. We'll call it 628RoachStompers
I did a similar fall back two years ago. Whoever did the lawn on the side of the sidewalk had a wide enough mower that they went over a pretty significant dip in the ground and cut all the grass at the same height making the dip completely invisible. I was helping my brother-in-law move and went to go put something in the back of the car and bam down I went right onto my knee without being able to brace myself because I was carrying something heavy. Then had to continue to work since my brother-in-law had to be out within the next two days. My knees swelled up, and I could hear it creaking and occasionally grinding on each other. Finally convinced my parents to let me off and got some inflammatory drugs for it. Knee wasn't right for about three months after that but did eventually heal fully by staying off of it completely.
Crazy story for you... When I was a teenager I was riding my bike down a hill and into a field I wasn't familiar with on a road I wasn't supposed to be on. Someone had mowed the ditch level with the shoulder of the road and the field. I didn't see the ditch until it was too late and I was really moving too. I woke up in the hospital with a fractured cervical vertebra, among other injuries. I broke my neck again a year later. Thankfully the Lord was watching out for me and I didn't paralyze myself. I still have a little trouble from it all these years later but I played football into high school and got into boxing for ten years after that. I'd say it healed up pretty good. lol
Get you some down time you deserve it. Bee's will still be there and waiting for you. 👍❤🐝🐝🐝
What was the offer I guess I missed it!
I know right?? I kept thinking it would be at the end…nope😂we’re gonna have to name him “click bait Rooster”!!
One brood cycle later🤣
I just watched a video on plastic jug hives. Fun video. Whats your thoughts on those?
Great idea. Won't work in our climate without extra considerations.
Sorry to hear about the on going pain, I sure hope that clears up soon! It also sounds like you could use some time off to heal up a bit!
I could definitely use some time off. Beach time coming. 😆
Randy did he say 201?!? LMBO!!!
I’m binge watching your videos! I hope you see this comment, even though the video is more than 2 years old. You and your wife are adorable. You’re just a big teddy bear and your wife is sweet and beautiful..your photography at the end of the videos are incredible and give me a warm feeling. I retire in 4 years and after binge watching so many beekeeping videos I’m inspired to start backyard beekeeping in my retirement! I’m mesmerized by the bees! Thank you for the incredible videos!
You're really going to enjoy beekeeping! Thanks for all the love.
Go for it! It’s a great hobby and you will not be sorry! The only thing I can guarantee is that once you start beekeeping, 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 it gets into your blood 🍯🍯🍯🍯 There is something spiritual about it! If humans worked like bees we would not have all these wars all over the world Peace & Blessings to you all! 🙏
I completely understand your being frustrated about being told, "You didn't put the wood back properly." Especially seeing the extensive disrepair the rest of that place was in. But it's your good name on the job.
Hope your legs heal up quickly.
I think my frustration was more in the fact that she completely ignored that I had fallen through her deck and injured myself. In hindsight I should have filed a claim against her home owner's insurance. Almost three months later and I'm still dealing with pretty severe hip and knee pain.
I definitely owed her a trip back to straighten out that board though. Gotta leave it right regardless how jacked up the rest of the house was.
@@628DirtRooster Yes, ignored the fact you were injured on her property - then knowing you should've filed a claim but didn't and now you're dealing with a lingering issue.
I hope you're feeling better and like I said in my original post - It's your good name on the job, we all knew you'd make it right and do more than originally contracted to do. Oh I wasn't saying you'd do a half assed job because the rest of the place was in disrepair, just that she'd point out the board before you were finished with the job is what disgusted me.
Get well soon!!!!!! As we get older it seems to take longer to get back to where we were when we got hurt. Take care of yourself.... or you'll have Elizabeth to deal with! LOL
She won’t let me quit, injured or not. Haha
Moin
Sehr tolle Filme das sieht immer nach sehr viel Arbeit aus.
Du wärst bei uns schon ein ollraund Geny.
Machst du das Hauptberuflich.
Toller Einsatz bei Dir ist immer was los mach weiter so.

This is my primary job for a few months out of the year.
Pete’s fear of rats cracks me up! I think that was the fall you took right before we came to visit. Another awesome video!
We need to start Pete out on hamsters.
Dang... that hurt my knees, hope it heals up quick!
Me too bro. Thank you
Darn it Randy - you look after the injuries, or they'll come back to bite you. And if you have to claim on the homeowner's insurance, do it.
Once she called you back to seat the crooked OSB to match all the other crooked OSB and rat holes, she lost the right to play good neighbours.
You have witnesses and video of the damage both before and after she repaired it (and left a dangerous trip hazard sticking out - is she intentionally laying traps?).
I started out with a limp from my knee, now I have to use a wheelchair, so I have most definitely been there and done that.
You only get one body to last a lifetime, so look after it.
Thoughts and prayers for a complete recovery from here in the UK (where we are civilised enough to have healthcare covered by our normal taxes).
Nice travel log, now I don’t have to go.
Road trip!
The sky is beautiful and what a sunset thank you Randy
It was a great day.
Holy Crap Randy, I hope you get some relief soon.
Unfortunately your like me and think it's gonna go Away 😬.
You should tell those people about there damn Deck and make them compensate you for real😨.
JO JO IN VT 💕😄☃
Randy I hope your knee is OK that’s a hard fall to take I know I’ve done that exact same thing on a dock and tore ligaments so you make sure that you get that taken care of because when you get to be my age in the 60s it’s going to bother you believe me take care my friend always enjoy your videos
At 52 I'm not far behind you. I don't heal nearly as fast as I used to.
Hi Mr Dirt Rooster or may I call you Randy? Sorry to hear you were hurt and for a big strong man like you admitting, however begrudgingly, to being in pain, you must be really hurting! I do understand pain and if I’ve learnt anything it’s that you should not hide it. In the long run it doesn’t do you any good and it doesn’t give those around you a true understanding of what you are going through. I know medical costs in the US are HUGE , we are so lucky down here in Australia with our health system, but get yourself seen to. You are too young and active to carry an injury that can have many long term effects physically and mentally. Look after yourself as you are too important to those around you to be suffering. So sorry if this sounds like a lecture but I am speaking from experience. Lecture over! Btw I love your channel, I have watched all of your videos, some more than once. I don’t grow bees I should and probably could but life does get in the way sometimes, I just enjoy the bees, love watching you chilling at work and maybe even most of all your beautiful photos and videos of your local beauty spots which you often end your videos with. Stunning vistas all of them! Recover well, stay healthy and safe in this crazy world. Hugs Deb
I keep seeing you on that little giant ladder .. I know it’s uncomfortable stand on . I’m in Nashville I’d give you my platform ladder just see you love its 2’ square standing area and handrails.
Poor Randy this really sucks… this lady’s house insurance should cover your medical bills… you saying you have a disc hernia could possibly be causing some pressure on your sciatic nerve and causing all your pain,you should have a MRI to confirm that,I went through all this after falling down stairs years ago and frankly still have pain on and off from my sciatic nerve… get treatment before this becomes chronic…. I could feel your pain while you were quietly working while your buddies were chatting….best of luck to you Randy in your recovery…💕
Seems like home owners bee sweet talking worried you might hire a lawyer. Normally customer starts complaining before im done I'm not getting paid .. doesn't happen often in the wildlife control industry but it happens .. had saw might go in better trimmed it little OSB isn't exterior .. Solar seal caulk comes out clear drys harder than that silicone caulk .
Paint him green and call him Mr Banner! Come to think of it, I found myself next to Lou Ferrigno once. Boy was his lady small, about 5 feet, his daughters pretty much normal!
Falls REALLY suck! When you're overweight and getting older, they mean a whole lot more than they used to. Here's hoping for a smooth recovery from here and for crying out loud, don't push it!
Sorry about the fall Randy, I took one a couple of weeks ago myself, got real lucky and no injuries other than my pride. Hope you heal up good as new soon. How about an update on your dad's longhive, really interesting as I understand you don't have to lift boxes with them. Thinking of starting a hive or two myself on east bay across from Pensacola, lots of salt water here but I have a small fresh water pond on my land as well. Only problem is we have black bears here !
That's so frustrating about the injury. Hope you can get it checked out soon at least to see if some physical therapy could help. I know that pain of back and knee issues, definitely not fun. Heal soon!
Trouble with being self employed- most people don’t have accident insurance in case you do some damage to yourself. I fell heavily 3 months ago and it’s still a mess. Good luck with it.
I will never understand how people let expensive and nice homes go without proper maintenance. Literal 100's of thousands dollar houses and bad roofs, decks that cost 10s of thousands of dollars that could be preserved with a few hundred dollars worth of sealant. The exterior of a home allowed to rot instead of applying a new coat of paint. I just don't get it.
You should have told Her about Her Deck!!!!!!
So pretty 💝.
JO JO
What is it about avoiding paying $20 in caulking in order to seal things up that people just can’t seem to follow through with this?
I love the banter between Pete and you. Funny as heck!
Pete is a good sport.
Sorry to hear about you falling!! Old remedy, rub a warm hard boiled egg over the bruised area. It will stimulate the blood flow, reduce swelling and color of bruise
That’s interesting! Do you peel the egg? I love old remedies like this!! Seems the old ways work more time than not!
@@meloneycrews you don't peel the egg, you can wrap it in a towel if the egg is too hot. Raw rice in a sock works too. You have to put it in the microwave for about a minute, instant heating pad.
Need to carry you some bees wax with coconut oil in your bucket. It comes in handy for so many things including first aid.
Great Video my friend.... I saw Beaches at the end of the Video... 😃
Hahahab@ Tip of the finger....I'll have to remember to use that.
Wonderful.
Good thing you didn’t try to catch yourself. I broke an arm reaching out to stop my fall.
Hope you recover quickly!!🙏😎
Thank you
Like how people want stuff perfect when it wasn't perfect to begin with the owner lucky you did sue for the rotted out deck board that cause you to fall hurt yourself
You should have had mr Ed thei er to help you and may have done some praying for you, Was a great video It is a great day here in Alaska 10 above
Looks like your staying busy as a 🐝! I hope your leg is ok. Looks like that would have hurt!
If I'd only gotten it on video. lol
Beautiful sunsets 😱👍👍😉
It was indeed
24:36 the house behind looks good,
and the end of video u driving the car, the view are so good too
Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks.
Watching people in shorts while there is 4 inches of snow here in western NC. 😆
I lived near brackish water most of my life in Brige City, Texas near Lake sabine and the Sabine River and surrounded by marsh. But the duck hunting and Red fishing was great.
Yep, plenty of reds around here.
Gumbo Friday. . That sounds good to me. Oh dang, hope you didn’t get to hurt.
Every Friday :)
You should look into adding ASMR to your removals. People seem to really like the same stuff.
Very nice 👍🏼 specially at the end gorgeous 🤩🙏🏽 sorry for the injury by the way 😊
Thanks Jojo. I'll heal up. :)
i broke my leg in that exact move, landed on the corner with my shin, and crushed part of the bone, i know the pain and i am ss. i was 16, i cant imagine the pain of doing that now.
So very sorry that happened to you.
but ya are looking good my friend...
long time no see it seems... hope you have a good one and thanks for the vid
alwasys enjoy the watch...
Dang that reminds me of when I sprained my ankle so bad I thought I broke it. I was 16 then. My brother drove me to the hospital and I could feel every rock in the road as we drove. I hadn't thought of that in forever.
Hate to hear about about your fall. I know its hard but you need to rest as much as you can before cutout season. Falls are not fun anymore as we age. I am glad you made it back home safe and sound. I really enjoyed seeing you in all the videos at Hive Life. Hopefully next year I will get make it and meet and shoot the breeze. Take care and get well soon.
It’s always great to see the sunset with you, specially with that great guitar music. Greetings from Ibiza island Spain
Hi Benjamin
That homeowner should have insurance that will cover your medical costs.
thank you for adding the sunset1 I dig the music you play with your videos. I hope the leg feels better. 1st year beekeeper, thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Nice wrap up to the video. You need more sunsets to enjoy.
"Do you need something to wipe with over there?" Was EXACTLY what I was thinking!
Looked like he was scratching for some wide leaves. lol
You have a new name!! “Click bait Rooster!!l Seriously did we miss the job offer??
No click bait. I smashed a roach and Paul asked if I needed a job. He is a pest control agent.
