Do you measure your components value before building?

I went to build an FC Power and I couldn’t find enough 1n4004s so substituted 1n4002s for some, then could only find two 4700 µF caps when I could have sworn I bought eight, and then I found the forgotten-about plastic bin into which I’d put all the parts for the build including the PCB (I’d bought two and was at that point nearly done building the other one). Borderline litany.
