Question about Wiring a subpanel
I'm building a 28 x 24 addition to a house. The meter is located on a pole about 70 ft from the house. There is a feed to the house, and to a small outbuilding from the meter box. There is room for another circuit in the box. Can I run another feed from the meter box to a subpanel in the new addition? I have about 30 outlets, 5 light switches, and 16 lights in this addition.

May be some confusion here. Running another feed from a meter box on a pole to your house would not be allowed as you can normally only have one feed to a structure. You would need to feed the new panel from a panel in/on the house.
And don't drive another grounding rod - it causes more issues than it solves. You need a 4 wire feed to the panel.
