ok,
to me the "pole" is my mast. not the service pole. that service pole is a good 30-35 feet away angled across the driveway.
the mast is along the rear of the house. (like were the green ladder is in the photo) as the end of the house is were the high voltage line arrives on the roof. (to something that looks like your photo).
the end of the house with the power in. ground is concrete, (south wall), and i use the back door for access in and out of the house.
the wall with my mast (west wall), ground all concrete out to 5 feet,
north wall, ground is concrete house to fence about 4 feet.
east wall (front of the house) porch mid way is a concrete block/slab, and "standard" 3 ft wide walkway with flower bed to the wall of the house to the driveway, (south east of the house).
as to the "eve" as the mast is along the wall were the rain gutter is. i built up a bracket to drop below the rain gutter to attach to the mast. as i do not want to drill through the roof.
as to the fresh water piping in the house. yes made of metal. house built in 1952. so the water out, is a clay pipe.
wiring is two wire, cloth covered. i get a lot of static shocks, heck even when i touch my pu truck. but the wall switch boxes are metal. (if i could afford it i would rewire the whole house).
new gas piping is metal, just were it comes up out of the dirt there is pvc over it, shovel protection? water protection? it is in the flower bed on the front of the house.
but same end of the house as the power, cable, land line phone all come to the house. (all wires on on the south end of the house. anchored within a couple yards of each other). power up on the "stick" others just to the edge of the roof. all on the outside of the wall, including the meter and fuse cabinet. this box has been a up grade some time back as the org went down through the roof and was inside. so i have two of the power sticks up there, one in use one to hold the support cable.
i will try to get some photos posted up here, but has to wait till next week. as friday is my monday. will only see the house while the sun is down till tuesday. heck i am supposed to be in bed but woke up , i am trying to get used to a new work bid, it is a 12 hr off set to what i have been doing for the past 3-4 years. ( i am a day walker now).
