So I read several other construction sites and everyone finds lots of holes that have not been drilled and they all drill them now. No sense in removing the skins until all the holes are drilled. So I drilled them. I drilled the outboard seat rib, the mid/aft rivet lines, the rivets around the conical bend, and others.
I checked my log and I'm at about 700 hours of labor into this project at this point.
I have a feeling this building of the structure goes a lot faster than the installation of systems due mostly to pondering time. There really is not much pondering time on this structure becauses the drawings and plans are explicit with few options. Later the options with regard to systems is going to require pondering time for decision making.
