Yes.  I know.  Given the instructions, I figured MOST would just jump in
and start building.  As for me, I prefer to understand the complete
inventory.  To each his own.

I inventory the ENTIRE kit and designate the destination of each
and every part.  I have each part individually taped onto paper.
All inconsistencies MUST be understood before proceeding.  This is how I
worked out that there were two capacitors short on in the control panel
bag and "extra" in the RF bag.  I am also short a few plastic washers.

Before soldering each part, I check its identification AGAIN.

I believe, however, erroneously that this decreases my risk of putting the
wrong part in the wrong location.

Perhaps but it keeps me sane and keeps my anal nature from getting the
better of me!!

I fully intend to wind my own toroids.  My only "condition" relevant to
ham radio is being a bit too anal :)

tnx.
