Pg. 21-19, Installing the step floors into place. The most challenging part of this page was reaching through the lightening holes (step 4) to rivet the nutplates into place. After a few trials on each nutplate, I would get lucky and hit the mark. They say even blind squirrels find nuts sometimes! Installation of the floors, the F-1048 facet pump bracket all went without incident. I'm getting good at nutplate fabrication/installation.
Moved to pg 21-20 (last page of this section) to install 6 "systems block studs." Wendy helped me with this because it is impossible for one person to turn the screw and hold the nut. To prep for this, I put oil on each stud and screwed the nut on each, up to the stud head, then took it off. I'm glad I did this because without the oil I think I would have ruined the stud head (philips). As it was, this went very well. I used the electric drill to screw the bolt into the nut, which Wendy held in place using vice grips.
