Flood Damage Pics Thread

[somchaismith]

Just caught a five inch long fish in our home. Water's nearly gone. However, it's very depressing, what a waste.

Here are a few pics of what's left on the first floor of our rented home. We're at Don Muang.

Post your pics, too

Yes, but admit that it looks a little more sad now than usual.

All the cheap pressed wood furniture he can throw away. But then that may be a good thing.

Normally we'd just say "ok, dry it out properly; anti fungal treatment; re-paint." but those kinds of houses are typically right next to a whole lot more just like them, and quite often they just stay in that state.

Time to move. (Was probably time to move before the flood, but ok)

"Melted" is The Word, in my opinion. I had several bookcases, a table, and my computer stand of that presswood, they pretty well just settled down to the water. One largish table is still standing but it does look a bit funny now, it's only 18 inches tall! Hmmm, might saw off the soaked portions and turn it into an eating table for the kids, they're kinda short anyway.

Mac seems to be dealing with a dismal situation with as much positive thinking as possible. Ad the man said "when life becomes shitty start selling fertilizer".

Its too bad they don't have the Salvation Army thrift stores where people could donate and those in need could replace needed items. Agencies like mentioned could go a long way to helping those in need, even without this kind of disaster.

Time to move.

Sure is. Even a two metre section of cement sheeting has fallen out of the front roof. Might have been caused by the weight of the water rocking the house.

Must get the motorcycle to a garage, too. Hope there's not too much damage to the engine. Had it up on bricks, but this wasn't enough and consequently it's been sitting in a metre of water for this past month.

(Was probably time to move before the flood, but ok)

In hindsight, yes it was .

Right now all I can think about is spending a small fortune on replacing most of the furniture, toys, kitchenware and electrical appliances, etc, together with the added costs of moving house.
