I ran all the pipes in a trickle for about 2 hours to see if I could release the stinky smell that I am told is a result of stale water in the pressure tank of the pump that brings water from the cistern which stores water from the city supply because the landlord went the cheap route instead of using the cistern only as backup...and guess what?
The water still stinks.

Who the hell is Sheer Almshouse?
- Sheer Almshouse
- Kingston, Uptown, Jamaica
- I am a writer, photographer, moving picture director who HAD a corporate day time job, (which made me a repressed creative). Maybe that's why I developed adult acne? I am truly an undercover artistic bum who would rather shoot documentaries and write and travel on my down time and work my arse off for my clients and my business.
Be my friend !!!

yuck. I've had that in Africa. Our shower water was reddish once, smelt like old mushrooms.
How you keeping? I've been too busy to bloghop lately. Hope your life is sweeter than the water. ;-)
It is... in a way that is not connected to here... and about to get even sweeter..cause... i am leaving :)
The water here smells like a combination of old mushrooms, dirty socks, rotten fish and a cesspool.
