Brief Description:  Riveting fore/aft splice lower skin & ribs

Completed a bunch of riveting in the fuselage slice skins. The aft row of rivets in the splice skin were completed before the bulkhead was installed to improve access. Next the bulkhead was installed and riveted using the forward row of rivets as shown in image 1. Next the forward and aft rows at the forward end of the splice skin were installed as shown in image 2. These were somewhat difficult due to the proximity of local ribs and stiffeners. As a result, I enlisted the help of a neighbor to handle the bucking bar while I crawled underneath. Finally, all of the ribs were riveted in place. Again, these rivets were a difficult reach, but my wife was kind enough to help out with these. I try to rivet everything myself when I can, but if the solo results are going to be poor, I ask for help.
