I've been quietly waiting for my Month 2 to begin some of the interior work...and they did finally arrive. Months 3-6 gave me about half of the lower frame to assemble...which was great. I did encounter a small issue with the inner/outer ribs. I found that the thickness varied, resulting in a lot of plan when the inner and outer ribs were joined by the connector and 4 screws. I found a simple solution, shown in the following pictures. First 2 pics show the amount of play the ribs moved...even tightened as much as possible. The third pic show the tips wrapped 1 and half times with adhesive backed metal tape used for heating ducts. The fourth shows the ribs back in the coupling with the screws reinserted. And finally the straighter ribs with no play. It definitely helped the sturdiness of the frame assembly. DougRGould2017 attached the following image(s):
