Started sanding the edges of the HS-904 and HS-905 ribs

It took me a total of 4 hours to sand every edge of these ribs, including the lightening holes. I saw on another builders website where he used these sponge type sandpapers (Lowes or Home Depot), which worked really nice. It gave me something firm to hold on to and did a nice job of rounding off the edges. I found that the 150 grit sponges worked the best at breaking the rough edges. Then I finished off each edge with regular 320 grit sandpaper.
