Having a Riveting Time…

Dec 23, 2009 –Shot the lower spar strap on today. I am so used to shooting rivets at work, that I didn’t realize how noisy this was going to be in the garage at home. Thankfully, these aren’t -6 rivets. (For those of you who aren’t familiar with what I’m talking about, -6 rivets are 3/16?) The majority of the rivets in this whole airplane are -3 (3/32?) and -4 (1/8?). Tiny by Boeing standards.

I’m going to go around to the closest neighbors and let them know what I’m doing. Next door says they never heard anything today. That’s good. I hope they weren’t just being nice.

Anyway, I’ve also had to move things around, since we need my table for Christmas meals with family. So I can’t do anything else until after Christmas is over.
