Brief Description:  Rivet fwd bottom skins

Everything seems to be taking so long these days. Access in and around teh gear towers even with the fuselage upside down is really difficult and often your working blind. Not only that, but because of the many rivets and nuts inside there it can be tricky to positively locate 'your one' and you end up spending time fishing around blind. There's also a couple of places, like the bottom inside corners of the gear weldments, where there are screws in very close proximity on opposing faces, which makes getting the washer and nut onto the second one (blind, of course) very tricky. All in all, a frustrating eveing. We got the F-851 fwd skins and F-820 side skins all riveted and made a start on the AN509-8R-10 / AN365-832A screws/nuts on the right-side gear tower but eventually decided to call it a night and tackle the remainder another evening. It was getting late and Jackie and I were getting snappy, so time to quit, if only for the sake of 'family' peace!
