Brief Description:  Last steps to riveting

Even though its Father's day my wife and I went to the hanger. In the morning I went over to get check that all the last steps were completed. There was a few holes I needed to dimple and the F-704H bulkhead need to be countersunk. I grabbed the longerons and headed home to prime them. After priming the longerons my wife and ran some errands while I waited for them to dry. Later that day we took the longerons back and started to reassemble the fuselage. I got my neighor at the airfield to help me lift the center section back in place, then my wife and I started to cleco the center section and the longerons to the aft section. Getting the center section married to the aft section was a pain in the neck, but after carefully pushing it finally slid into place. We finished up the day making sure everything was level on the fuselage and all the remaining pieces were ready for riveting tomorrow (pulling blue plastic, double checking dimples and general prep.) Tomorrow the riveting begins, if I am fortunate I will be able to roll the canoe by the end of the week.
