I strongly second Ian's inventory comment, and his reasons for doing it.
It's a bit of a drag, and we all want to heat up the solder station
and start the "real" building, but a complete inventory will likely
prevent micro, mini, and mega disasters.
Also, beware of inadvertently mixing up a part value with a reference
designator, there are a lot of words in the assembly instruction book,
and nearly all of them are important! (e.g., and speaking from
experience, starting to install "C25" and fetching a 25pf cap for it
when the real value is 15pf)
