1.1 hrs, 56 rivets
Used the squeezer to fine tune the aft most rivets for the baggage ribs. Then reinstalled two nutplates removed from the center seat ribs. These had to be removed to allow riveting the ribs to the 905 bulkhead.

Then riveted nutplates to the crotch strap brackets and then riveted the brackets to the seat ribs. Ran screws through the nutplates to make them easier to work with.



Clecoed the corner baggage floor ribs in place again. They still need to be trimmed for the steps.
Started putting the seat and baggage floors in place.

Tomorrow I help the girl move into her first rental house! Gonna have to train a new riveting helper.
