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)
