Southern Oregon Dream: Temporary power pole!

We called for our second utility locate and they came out and marked where everything was. So, we decided the best spot for the temp power pole was right by the street, since the power company said it couldn't be more than 10 feet from the street. We have an easement, so the construction crew will have to run extension cords down the driveway to get power from the pole.
Yesterday we went out to the lot, Kevin and my dad put in the temp power pole. We had to go to Home Depot and buy underground conduit and an 8 ft grounding rod. It took a couple of hours for them to dig the post hole 24 in deep, set the pole, dig a trench to the electrical box (don't know its proper name) and hammer in the grounding rod all the way. It also looked like the excavator Frank was done with the house pad. It's bigger than the actual footprint of the house, so I am assuming that is for extra ground support? I will be calling the City today and leaving a message for them to come and inspect the pole, once they approve it, I will get the power company back out there to hook it up. Then we can meet with Adair to get everything inspected and get the construction ready to go!
Here's a few pics!

Here's Kevin and our eldest daughter working on digging the hole for the temp power pole. You can see the copper grounding rod before it was hammered into the ground.
