Yea.. located in US... Wisconsin to narrow it down a tad..lol

I have a #4 wire from service panel to the neutral bus through the foundation into the ground.

any auxiliary circuits I have added in the basement, are ran inside metal conduit.. from the 220 dryer and stove circuits to the 120 outlets. so there was no need for a separate bare wire ground..as the conduit is grounded to the box.. just the hot and neutral.

The garage is messing with my head... either it's too simple and I am over complicating things.. or I am a moron...

The garage has no metal conduit, so I am using 3 wire romex... and linking all the grounds together, then to the box.

I got my 60 amps from service to my sub panel left and right hots.
I got neutral from service to neutral bar in my sub panel
I took a shielded #12 solid core wire, and bolted the damn thing to the service panel and connected it to the sub panel auxiliary ground strip.
I took a shielded (maybe #8) white wire, from a single 8 ft pole driven into the ground, to the bottom of the auxiliary ground strip.

I take I don't need this 8' ground to the auxiliary?.. I thought I did...
