Show the meter in the proposed cabinet or finish layout
Use an overall view of the cabinet or surrounding finish and identify the meter’s position from information already available. Describe which parts appear fixed, which existing doors open and which parts the proposal would retain. Do not dismantle the enclosure or utility equipment to produce more detail.
Give the carpenter a marked description of the proposed finish area. If the design depends on changing an opening or covering an exposed area, identify that dependency explicitly rather than treating the cabinet appearance as the entire job.
Ask about access before the enclosure is agreed
Cody’s utility page explains that older meter upgrades often need indoor access and that the City communicates with residents about it. The resource does not approve a particular enclosure design.
Ask the utility about access for the actual layout before settling the private carpentry scope. Keep meter work and cabinet work separately described. An answer about one should not silently authorize the other, and a utility-access question should remain visible while finish options are compared.
Questions about this project
What should a carpenter see when an indoor meter sits inside a cabinet?
Show the existing cabinet as a whole, the known meter position and the proposed retained or changed finish areas. Use available information without moving or opening utility equipment.
Does Cody’s meter-upgrade information approve a new enclosure design?
No. The page supplies access context, not design acceptance. Ask the utility about the actual layout before agreeing the enclosure work.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
