Ahh, that feels better… A quick shower and some food, and I feel more human. A lot more human. On the plane I did a whole lot of riveting, or more correctly I was the sucker inside the plane bucking the rivets. This invloves holding a piece of metal on the inside of the metal plane whilst someone on the outside hits it with the rivet gun. This of course make a lot of noise, particularly if you are the one inside the plane. Wearing ear muffs certainly help, but it is loud.<\/p>\n
I only messed up a few of the rivets. Given the fact that I was in the middle of the plane and and there were bulkheads in the way I had the keep crawling in and out the plane. And spent a lot of time kneeling on a cushion to get the right height. The good thing was that the fuselage tended to concentrate the air from the fan to keep me cool. <\/p>\n
Next week we are planning to do a whole lot more on the plane. We might even get the plane to a state where we can sit in it and make plane noises… Sounds fun…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
