Assuming that's a main panel and not a sub, the neutrals and grounds
connect to the same buss


Would I be losing the advantages of grounded service by doing that. I
guess I was under the impression that the neutral bus and the
ground bus are wholly separate.

I guess I'm wondering if I need to change the panel now if I want to
have the full advantage of 3 prong outlets and grounded service.

The are connected at the main panel. From there on the neutral is a
current carrying line and the ground is just a ground, but at the panel they
become one with the earth. :-)

So now that I've had grounding installed in my house, I'm looking
at my electrical box and I don't see where the ground wire would go.

I won't be doing my own work of course, I'm not knowledgeable
enough, but before I start asking electricians to install new romex
and grounded outlets I would like to know if its even possible with
my current breaker box.

That's my box, a GE panel, room for 2 more circuits, given this
arrangement, how would a grounded circuit be run? Would I have to
replace the breaker in order to accomplish this or is it a matter of
connecting the ground to the bus where the neutrals run?
