Torvaldr Update

Sorry I have not been around. I am having a bit of a double wammy right now. I have been having a LOT of trouble with my internet being up and down since I got back from Pennsic. Verizon can't seem to find the problem. The tech was out here yesterday, and it worked fine all day, then when I got up this morning it was all screwed up again. So my email communication is going to be sporadic until they find the problem and fix it.

I am also dealing with some water seepage issues in my leather shop. This has been one of the wettest summers in history for this area and the basement I have my leather shop in was never sealed inside or outside by the previous owner who built the house. Sir Alexander and I knew we were going to have to paint it with sealant, but we decided to wait for the dry season, but with all the thunderstorms the ground has never dried out and there was a lot of wet coming through into the shop. I lost some of the scrap leather to mold and mildew while I was away at Pennsic. My own fault, I should have been using plastic tubs to store it in rather than cardboard boxes set up against the wall. So I have been cleaning and painting the basement. It will affect the delivery time of some of the orders that were in the que before Pennsic, but it should not affect the Pennsic orders at all. I expect I will have the painting all done by the end of the weekend. And Sir Alexander is buying a large dehumidifier to put downstairs. So all will be well soon.

But that does not mean all production has stopped. I am still working, just a little slower.

Okay, shop has now been painted with the masonry sealer and the new layout/work table is done (or will be in about an hour) so I will be back to full production tomorrow (Wednesday)

Still fighting with verizon on the internet, but shop work is back on.

Well, it looks like Verizon finally got the issue taken care of so I am back on line. As folks mentioned here I had some trouble with moisture in the basement shop and internet. Both now have been taken care of and I am back at full production. If you are looking for an update, please contact me directly at torvaldr@skaldic.com
