building order?

I thought that the building order was:

1. Strip the hull.
2. Strip the deck.
3. Recessed cockpit.
4. Plane, sand and fill hull and deck.
5. Cockpit uprights.
6. Glass hull.
7. Glass deck.
8. Hatches,cockpit rim, recessed deck lines, bulkheads and footbraces.
9. Attach deck.
10. End pour.
11. Varnish.
12. paddle.

the reason I ask is I have just read of people glassing the hull before ever laying the first deck strip. Am I doing somthing wrong? Half of my deck is done.
Should I stop and work on hull?
