Clean things up as you go. Get a digital camera and take pictures at every stage. Put your bolts in baggies with notes about where they go.

My original F-3 was 6' 9" tall. I was barely able to slip it under the garage door. So when I moved and built my new garage I made sure the door cleared 7 feet. Now that the F-3 has been lowered it's shorter than my original F-1.
