Question Riveting the Fuselage Together - the order of things

I'm at the point, just before "flipping the canoe", where the side skins get riveted on. After that, you are instructed to finish riveting on the bottom forward skin. I have a couple of questions (RV-7A).

First "...finish riveting the bottom skin". That implies that the riveting has been started. Mine hasn't and I can't see anything in the previous pages that indicate I should have started. What did I miss?

Second, nowhere can I find where you rivet the bottom skins where the mid fuselage overlaps the reard fuselage, and the 623 corner ribs. Again, what did I miss? Do I do it now, or is this waiting until later for some reason.

As always, grateful for the resources out there who have forged this path before me!!!!
