I am wonder if it would be possible to move my power meter to a better location so it is not going though my tree. I did trim a lot of the tree last night, but I think I would still rather have the meter in a different spot. The thing I don't know, is if the power co can run a drop to my house from the middle of a run between 2 poles or if it has to come directly from a pole. I have taken some photos and make a drawing to help show my setup.
The Large Red Line is the current drop. The orange line is where I think the drop should be. You can see there is a pole in the far back corner and one in the front all the way across the street. I don't want a new pole installed.

The pole I currently connect to:
The side of the house where I think the power drop should be - so it is not near any trees:
I am sure the power co will come out and talk to me about this, I just wanted to get an idea if something like this is possible or even if it is a good idea.
Thanks
