When we lifted the house we tore off a small addition on the back of the house. That addition had the electric meter and breaker panel in it. We left a small portion of the wall that the service was attached to and demolished the rest. When the house was lifted, the meter sat 12 feet off of the ground; that was a little too high for the meter reader. We received help installing the new mast, meter base and breaker panel from a family friend and the electric company was out to change over our service and up the power to 200 amps.
Any time I have to have an inspection (Labor and Industries this time) and outside labor (PUD energy) do work I feel it is worth a chapter in the This Old House series. The new meter is digital and 5 feet off of the ground.
