Hello all-
New to this forum and eletrical work in general ..
After having built a room (also a new area for me.. thank you time life books! ) and wiring all the outlets and switches.. I tried to patch into the line existing (this space is at the back end of a large kitchen/den area) .. but that patch didnt seem very good (lights flickerd and I wondered I few things and then decided .. cuz I am not an expert of course) that because the distance from the new space to the breaker box was relatively short (15-20 ft thru the attic) that adding in a new breaker would be a cleaner solution .
Once I had everything ready I opened the break panel and.. please verify if I am looking at this correctly. but I do not see any ground here.

No other panels are within the house, the only other one outside is the main (?) next to the meter (only 1 breaker in there)
Am I missing something ? Want to be sure I am doing this properly and avoid any accidents. Any advice on how to properly wire the ramex in here would be greatly appreciated.
I can call a pro if needed, but I am trying to learn new things and save a few dollars when possible.
Thank you all
Bob
