Brief Description:  Riveted right wing skelton and moved to the left w

I am a bit hamstrung right now. Due to a drive quiting PODS, they where unable to get me my crate on Tuesday. However, my fine wife Sue came through with the suggestion that we could use a trailer for the house! I have learned to never question when my wife tells me to buy "guy stuff". The problem is that I can't get a hitch on the SUV until next Thursday, so I am having to be creative in my building.

I reassembled the right wing skelton and riveted the front and rear spar to the rear ribs. The front ribs will be done later per the instructions. I then had the help of my oldest to move the right wing onto the floor of the garage (on 2 x 6 blocks) while I use the bench to start working on the left wing.

The left wing progressed smoothly with the rear spar marked and pilot drilled, and the rear ribs drilled to the front spar.
