Andy,

Don't worry.  My kit building experience had been confined to some Heathkit 
station gear-a VTVM, coax switch, Cantenna, and code practice oscillator-all 
done back in the 70s.  You can imagine how rusty my soldering skills were.  
Early last year, I put together a K2 with most of the options,and later on,  
a KPA100, and the KAT100.  It all works great, and my Icom 746 now fills in 
for SWL  RX and some VHF work.  I'm really looking forward to building some 
of the new options for the K2.  Take your time, and if you get tired just put 
down the soldering iron until you feel like continuing.  Like somebody said, 
it's not a timed event.

Have fun and 73,

Don W5EI
K2/100 #2478
