Don't know much about this but it seems like I remember that the code
most places prohibits more than one ground. Aren't you required to have
a ground for the main service or panel and no secondary ground at any
sub panel?

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.


This is usually the case with service panels.


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.

Is this a concern or normal?


There is probably a green wire snaking out to your grounding electrode,
usually a rod driven in the ground. It could also be connected to various
substitutes for a ground rod that are allowed as well.
