Another crazy question but you guys seem to have the answers so thats why IM asking another one.

I have a customer needing a temp pole on property. No problem done them before. BUT the transformer is at the corner of the lot about 200 feet from where the house will be. Any ideas? Set pole by transformer or by house? I saw one the other day the contractor ran a cable (looked like SO but didnt look close enough)from the pole in the ground up to the back of the lot into a spider box. Any ideas?
