The rivets to repair the front corners of the galvanized roof rail/gutter are still on their way so that task is on hold for now. However, the rains are coming so we tightened as many of the remaining good ones as possible out of the 168 total around the roof. In the absence of a rivet squeezer tool and dies for semi-tubular truss head rivets of this size, teamwork with a handheld anvil and some diy blacksmith-made punches had to suffice. There are a dozen or more that are either missing or beyond repair near the front corners and these will be replaced as soon as possible.
