Brief Description:  primed, riveted

Finished priming all parts prepared to date. Riveted the firewall together. Found the back riveting to be a big challenge for some reason. Had to drill out about 10 rivets before it was all said and done.

Fwd fuselage floor directions did not mentioni riveting together the ribs and bulkheads before riveting the assembly to the floor. I am now stuck with trying to find a way to buck or squeeze some rivets that should have been a simple process. Perhaps I don't have the right tools. I do not yet own any offset rivet sets, and this might be a necessity now and in the future. Pops and I are talking about using a hammer to bang 8 of them. We'll see.

Landing gear boxes are almost complete. I spent a long time in the shop and began to feel very tired and frustrated that there had been so much work and still so much to do so I left them for tomorrow. Need to set the bolts next.
