(8-9 step 7):
Today was 'cleanup & dimple' day ;-) I started off the
day early by deburring the holes in the remaining skin. Then it
was off to church. Once back I took down the cradles and cleaned
up the tables. I then layed out all the ribs to check them for
any missed spots... only one! In keeping with our 'scuff &
prime' the alclad pieces, I sanded on one of the inspar ribs until I
realized it would be much quicker to just alodine it so I left the
others as-is. So it was on to dimpling. Not too long after
I got started on it Angela returned home from her soccer game &
decided she wanted in on the fun! She helped finish up the
remaining ribs.

After
the ribs we scuffed up one of the skins prior to dimpling the
holes. Angela then tried out the dimpling set up and did as many
holes as she could on her own while I sanded down the stringers in
preparation for priming. We then finished up the remainder of the
holes on the skin.

It's
a little hot outside today… I think our outside temp reading is
a little off, but it is definitely HOT! Our garage door faces
West & our sensor is mounted just outside it so it's probably not
too far off from what the door is actually seeing… Wow! It
could be an oven in here!
|
Our little heater/AC unit is struggling, but its doing enough! I'll take 88 degrees any day over 100+
|
(8-9 step 9): The
last thing I did for the day was scuff up the other skin. I made
a remark to Angela earlier in the day that I was starting to look like
the 'Tin Man' from the Wizard of Oz from the Aluminum dust so I decided
to get a shot of it.

| Next time we'll dimple this skin & see about alodining the ribs. |
