We ordered our equipment in July of 05, recieved the keys to our building Nov 1st of '05, submitted our application as soon as we had our keys in hand, recieved our Fed permit Dec 28 '05. Have all your ducks in a row, and do your homework on the regs & your equipment. I also recieved a state and federal inspection during this time. So if anyone tells you it is not possible, let me assure you that it is.
