being in the same building brings up another question i had the other day..
I've got a sub right next to the main panel ( to add spots) *. *Does it
still have to have the ground and neutral seperate and fed with 4 wires in
this situation?

I don't see any advantage to having a second disconnect if the sub is in
the same building as the main panel. If it's in a detached building, it is
a requirement

That depends on how the additional panel is supplied. If it is
supplied from a breaker in the cabinet that contains the "Service
Disconnecting Means" then you will need to separate the neutral
conductors and the equipment grounding conductors as already
described. If it is supplied by service entry conductors then you
wire it exactly the same as you would the first panel.
