Except for underground rural power where every house has a pad mounted transformer due to the distance between houses (I love the distance).
I bonded the neutral to the ground at both panels in the shop/garage and the panel at the house. I have ground rods at the house and shop/garage. The panels are back to back in the shop/garage and both are connected to the ground rod just outside the shop/garage. I was told this is correct...
