For the nominal fee of just $1.00 per person - no family rates - I am allowing visitors to see the brand new compression tank for my well. It's not just any tank; it's an expensive tank.
The old blue pump developed a particularly nasty hole in the side and shot gallons of water into the room and onto the ceiling insulation. The cheap paneling is now moldy and the insulation is wet.
I discovered that the force of the water surging through the hole in the tank was capable of causing large bruises. What fun!!!
Of course, I will be checking to see if I need a license of some sort before tours begin. I'd hate to have 2-3 people show up and then pay the township a fine of several hundred dollars for not having a tour license.
On the bright side, I have replaced the flooring, the roof, all of the windows, the heating system, added central air, replaced the pump to the basement sink, installed a new toilet, updated the shower fixtures, added a Kinetico system and now have a new pressure tank. Once I replace all door moldings destroyed by the cats I'll have a practically new house. If I can remember how to hang drywall I may replace all of that too. Oh, yes, I've spent a small fortune on landscaping too. And a new fence which is falling apart but you can't have everything.
Sadly, I can no longer afford to retire but the basement didn't flood, I lost no trees during Irene, the power remained on, all of my loved ones are safe. Ah, yes, life is good.

But then the Stasi @ LCB or the township will pursue you to see if you have a license to sell alcoholic beverages.
