Default Expensive Hole in the Ground

Using drilled 6" wells is a necessary evil for those without waterfront property ..... wells are the only way .... at about $6K each. Dropping a couple 1" polyethelyne lines into the lake would be infinitely more cost effective.

I remember way back in the college days, another tenant (an engineering student, naturally) in our building set up a radiator & fan in his bathtub; and exploited the "free" domestic hot water (included in the rent) to help defray his heating expenses. Despite our admiration for his ingenuity, it ticked the rest of us off because there was little hot water for the rest of us to use for showers, etc.
