For starters, everything worked out fine.

To answer a few questions:
-My advisement came from a retired NHEC lineman
-Yes, I am grandfathered
-The NHEC rep did not tell me I didn't have to move the pole (but it was his suggestion), and other than being very persuasive, he was never forceful or over-bearing
-Between Hillcountry's info on panel placement, and my advisor, I pretty much knew the right thing to do
-Yes, it seemed the suggestion to move the pole was primarily for NHEC's convenience

The short story:
As this unfolded, the /NHEC strike was about to begin. I called the rep, and, of course, he was on strike, too.

Some time went by, and I tried to resume contact with the rep- but now he had gone on vacation (5/9/18- away indefinitely).

As of 6/12/18, I was told it might be a few weeks (to do the job)

I was told I would receive advance notice of the timing for the install.

7/13/18- 7:00am- No notice- two HUGE trucks show up, ready to go.

It was a very friendly, efficient crew. I had a few yard-care concerns, and they were professionally addressed.

Bottom line- Maybe five hours to complete- no concerns. Very impressive operation.

I know that this type of information may, sometime, be of help to others, so my apologies for the delay.

Thank you for the replies, suggestions, help and concern.
