Holy Water

So the first morning in our new place, we notice the toilet water is very red. Who hasn't moved into an apartment that maybe hasn't been occupied for awhile and have had some rusty water. So I get busy cleaning them, comes right back, flush a million times, comes back. It doesn't look rusty coming out but it really stains. So we try the tap water using our Brita water filter pitcher. Very very rusty. Again with running the water to clean out the pipes. No luck.


We ask our helpful neighbor about the water. He explains that many of wells here are rusty, that's just how it is. But there is a perfectly normal solution for your drinking water problem. Go to church. Yes, the The Holy Rosary Catholic Church down the road (go to the website and scroll way down on the right column and you'll get the full story) offers the water from their well, which is clean, cold and very tasty. As you can see from the pictures, it is very organized and for a small donation, all the blessed holy water you can drink.

To solve the toilet problem I found "Super Iron Out Rust Stain Remover" a teaspoon after every flush does the trick. By the way, no one wears white here.

2145 Kanakanak Road #7

We live on a road that is a palindrome. It is a 3 bedroom spacious apartment about a mile out of downtown Dillingham. It has a view of Bristol Bay, nice big windows in the living room and bedroom upstairs. Not much furniture but we will go to Anchorage next week and buy some for the barge. It will arrive in mid October.

A slight complication; the building is owned by the city because the owner did not pay his taxes. So the place goes up for auction in 2 weeks. We are hoping to find a good owner who will finish the place (it still has 2 units unfinished) and keep it in good condition. If you are interested in being our landlord check out the details. Also note there will be some rusty cars and an airplane sitting next to our place for auction as well. Link here to see all the goodies for auction.

Do not send us mail here, there is no home delivery. We have a PO box for mail.
