Clecoed the first rib in place

This was a little tricky, since I had to deal with putting in the splice strip between the outer skin and the rib. First, I primed the rib (primed rib, hmmm, no pun intended) and the skin where it met the rib. Then I started by putting in one cleco in the first rivet hole in the aft end of the skin, on one side, and worked my way around to the other side, one cleco at a time. Tomorrow, I’ll just work my way down the line, doing one rib at a time.
