According to the AHJ's around here, as long as the application has
reached their office (along with the check, of course) then we are okay
to start wiring.  We don't have to necessarily wait for the permit to
come back.

There have been days when my boss and I have left the office at the same
time (or there-abouts) I was going to the job site, he was going to the
county office.
