They have spent this time doing prep work, streamlining the system, working with with vendors, getting permits and supplies/etc.

1000 is probally unrealistic, but it would make sense if a bunch of large projects across the nation are all about to start because of that preliminary work. With 27 states doing some kind of build out this year, it would take just 35 or so in each state to hit that 1000 number in 6 months.

Not so difficult.
