"With the floor beam 'B' sections only hand tightened my responsibility was to final tighten them. The best method ended up being just sitting on the narrow (7 inches worth) of stringers and using my feet as such. Safely secured to my personal line, I never got close to, or even felt like I was going to fall during the tightening of all 296 nut/bolt combos."
