Brief Description:  More bottom skin rivets - F-826/F-827

More bottom skin rivets tonight with my numero uno. We did some back-riveting wih me inside and Teresa outside. Then we moved on to the standard riveting with me outside on the flush set and Teresa inside with the tungsten bar. It takes a little longer as Teresa gets the feel of the bucking bar and having to measure the shop head with the rivet guage... but we started to get the hang of it. I think the last rivets were the best but Teresa dropped the tungsten bar on her head and she was feeling a little wonky - so that seemed like a good time to stop for the night. But the good news is that we only had 3 to drill out and replace so with about 30 rivets bucked, we were at 90 % on the low end and then after replacement of those 3, I call it 100% !
