Started riveting the aft fuse sides - 2.5 hours

Not much to report. started bucking the side skins on the aft fuselage. Much easier than the bottoms. Just mindless riveting. I tried to re-adjust the assembly to ensure level when riveting, its a bit of a losing battle cause you would get it level, drive a rivet and then it would be all off and then you would have to repeat the process.  In the end I kind of gave up on trying to get it perfect. Looks like you perfect it later when you get the longerons and aft deck skin on the assembly. I did alternate sides after every 4 rivets to help balance and keep things level as best I could.
