Again thanks to all of you who understood the emotion behind the thread. Without the help of the pattaya community I would have been in little room with myself, my wife my twins, my maid and even my persian cat, and the wifes stupid poodle. instead I found a community that i had no idea existed, friends I will keep forever, and memories that are indelibly etched in my mind
it was stressful enough even with the nice house that LT got us, but we are home now and i have put a new battery in my car, got it started and am now taking it to a joint that will deodorize it, and finish the last bits of cleaning.
upon return from the shop I have to get the water blaster and clean all the walls around my house as the water was 18 inches high, and the remains are black sludge.
