While wiring my shop, I noticed something very disturbing. My house
is not grounded. I open my main panel and there are the two hots and
one neutral.

Ground bus and neutral bus are connected and both ground and neutral
wires share the same bus.

Yes, that is how a panel is done; ground and neutral are the same bus. On a
subpanel they are separated.

My house is newer, only about 8 years old.

Why is there no ground? I know when I did the same work in FL I was
required to put in two ground rods.


There should be a cable going from the ground bus to your ground rods/water
pipe. Look carefully. If it is not there, you have a problem; but it seems
unlikely.

Is this a concern or normal?
