After taking a couple weeks off from building (including a nice trip to see my mother in Virginia), I was back to work on the last few pages of Section 10. I'm still not in a rush, because my wing kit isn't due to be CRATED until the end of this month, and thus delivery won't happen until 4-6 weeks from today. I'm still kicking myself for not ordering the kit at least a month earlier. Back to the top skins: First step included deburring the edges and holes of the two top skins, then dimpling, and finally clecoing the left top skin, ready for my wife to help buck some rivets.
Checking the fit of the left top skin, prior to dimpling - enlisted my daughter to help raise and cleco the ~8' long skin
Right top skin, after dimpling:

Turned fuselage on its side, preparing for riveting (when my wife gets time to help me - these are a bit difficult to do by myself):
