i had a pretty good day today. after the power came back on, i was able to get the stiffeners all primed and the inside skin primed and ready to backrivet. after a short break i got the stiffeners all backriveted in. the backriveting is pretty easy, but i had to be careful not to miss the plate. i missed it once and sort of got away with it, but i got lucky. if i have to do this type of operation again in the future i might consider a different way. today i used the box the skins were in and cut out an opening just big enough for the back plate and it worked ok. it finally stopped raining for a while today. we now have a creek in the front yard and a small pond in the back yard.
