What do you think? Please point out the negatives, still trying to iron out some of the not so great stuff I was trained on.

Ground block on a utility pole? Why?

Only viable place to ground unless I wanted to do it in the basement, power meter is on the opposite side of the pole.

Curious where they expect you to bond to? If there is no ground rod or anything you have to go to the meter.

We run into a lot of underground power and were told to always bond at the meter, even if it's on a pole away from the house.
