For any of you folks out there, worried about finding help when it's needed... Don't.
Last night I was working on the last few items before I could rivet the tops skins on my right wing. My nine year old daughter happened to be hang'n out with dad, helping me run the clecos. I asked her it she wanted another job to do. "Ah, sure", she's a pretty easy going kid. After explaining how everything would work and what she could expect on the bucking side of a rivet, we dawned the hearing protection and gave it a shot.
The learning curve was one rivet (she wandered off to the side at the last second), but after that 12 perfect rivets!!!
We went out to dinner to celebrate. She's more than happy to help me finish the whole wing. I told her that if she helped me with the rest of the wing, I'd give her 20 bucks. It's cheaper than a bribe to the wife...![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
She's been bug'n me all morning... time to go shoot some rivets!!!
