Hire an electrician!I don't know all that much about it (still looking for some good resources) but there is a code, and it's full of esoteric rules that have no explanations. Each of them is there because somebody, somewhere, got zapped. You want a setup that reflects that hard-earned knowledge of how to keep people from getting zapped.
One thing I think I do know: the ground must be made at the same place that the neutral wire is grounded, and the two (ground and neutral) must travel close to each other. You can't just run a ground wire into the room from a pipe stuck in the ground.
