Brief Description:  Drilled and clecoed the lower skins to the left wi

Big time visual progress today! I started drilling the outboard skin to the ribs, but was having a hard time doing it myself. The holes in the skin were perfectly straight, but the ribs were not. They were close, but still needed a little fine tuning. My father in law came over to help me, and helped guide the ribs as needed to see the centerlines through my pilot holes in the skins. I also pre-drilled the inboard skin. I know it is double the drilling, since you still have to drill through the ribs after already doing the skin, but it is worth it to KNOW that there is a rib flange behind the hole in the skin. With his help, we drilled both skins in about an hour, clecoing every other hole. I finished the day by drilling the OTHER 'every other hole' between the clecos. Looks more like a wing now!
