I had a very productive Sunday, consisting mostly of riveting. Specifically, I riveted the tip ribs to each other and then to the front spar; hinge reinforcement plates, nutplates and root ribs to the front spar; counterbalance skins to tip ribs; and, elevator horns to the root ribs and front spar. Also installed a bushing for what I assume will serve as a conduit for wires that lead to the trim tab motor.
Counterbalance skin, riveted to both tip ribs. Pneumatic squeezer made quick work of this task (well, quick for me):

Same thing, but right elevator:
