The problem with this project is it has a very small communication distance and I feel RS485 is an Over kill

Absolutely.

But the point here is that you said, without qualification, "ground problem isnt a problem" - which isn't true, and could mislead someone reading it who doesn't pay attention to the whole thread.

In your case, quite probably the ground problem isnt enough of a problem to cause major issues - it's still there, just not (you hope) to a significant degree.

But you did mention proximity to fluourescent lamps: even with only a few feet of cable, they could produce quite a lot of noise on an unbalanced signal - irrespective of grounding issues...
