Started on the inboard skin center ribs first

Using the offset backrivet set, I started in the middle of the rib and worked my way up and down, till I got them all in from top to bottom. The weird thing about this offset backrivet set is that I couldn't hold on the rivet at a perfect 90 degree, the rivet would go off to one side. I found that I had to lean the set towards to the rib at an angle in order to get a perfect rivet. Go figure that one. I also had to set the pressure at 60 lbs to make it work right.
