So that's what bonding means! I had a neighbor, who is an electrician, which has since moved, who helped me install the service for a workshop and cabin. He mentioned, that we were bonding, and I thought he was talking about our friendship...lol....Thanks, for clearing that up.

I'll follow suit, and bond the ground in the tractor shed, and install GFCI as well.
