Brief Description:  Rivet front spar

I didn't get as much done tonight as hoped. After riveting 2 ribs to the front spar, my rivet gun quit working. No idea what the problem is, so I will be calling Cleveland Tool tomorrow and expect to have to return it for service. I also attached the wing stands to the floor, but not before buring out my impact drill while drilling the last hole. Bad day for tools.

About the only good news of the day was that they have started grading for the new row of hangars, where I will me getting a larger spot more appropriate for housing the Decathlon and building the RV. So maybe by the toime Winter rools around I will be moving there. I plan to install heat and air in the new hangar, so that will make for a more pleasant work environment.
