Brief Description:  Rivet bottom outboard wing skin (left wing)

We're on the home stretch now!! Just the two ribs and spars around the last bay, and the main spar on the second outboard bay to go. Nearly done :-) All the remaining rivets can be reached through the lightening holes in the outboard rib so we've cleco'd the skin back down to maintain proper alignment. The main spar and forward-most rivets of the 3rd outboard rib and bay were by far the hardest to reach of the whole wing. Still, a little bit of jiggling and trying different methods and bucking bars and the rivets are in and to my satisfaction; had to re-do a couple of them but otherwise ok. Taking a break tomorrow night, but possibly on Thursday night we'll get this skin finished; rather depends on Jackie since she might be working late. No matter though, I have a renewed enthusiasm now (that won't last long; I'll be starting the other wing soon!).
