Power Company Engineer came out and looked at my setup and helped me decide on the particulars.  The good news is that I can put the temporary power pole in a centralized location with no problem.  The bad news isn't really bad, but the guy couldn't imagine me ever using over 200 amps.  I discussed a 400 amp service later and he kind of blew me off because he never saw me using the 200 amp.   

I asked him if it was OK to put up another 200 amp temporary power pole later and he said that it was no problem.  He did say kind of off the cuff, "Looks like you are working on creating a traffic jam."

A friend gave me a temporary power pole with a 200 amp box.  All I need is the meter box, weatherhead and cables.   ;D ;D ;D
