    Ok I like you guys to look at this and give me your expert opinions. The diagram shows the neutral and ground on different bars. If you look at the sub I have here, there is only one bar. I bought a spare bar to install but I would like to consult with you all first. Let me know what you all think.

    Bob, If I run nm thru the attic and out the soffit down 5 feet to a sub panel, Do I still need to run THWN wire for the exterior 5 feet pre-sub portion? If so where will I splice down to Thwn? I know post sub panel I will have to run THWN to the circuit board.
