I can understand how he and Farmer Ted cleaned up the whole house before the 'rents came home. But HOW IN THE HELL did he pay for the damage done to the ceiling and the floor thanks to The Singer's Jock Girlfriend with those weights not to mention all that EXPENSIVE BOOZE! I can probably see him having enough money in his personal bank account from allowances and summer jobs to pay for 2 brand new wine shelves (especially at mid 80s prices). He MIGHT be even able to afford the contractor to make repairs to the 2 floors & 2 ceilings. But all that wine/champagne? No.

Well, firstly, I didn't really see that they did do a lot of cleaning up, except to scoop the empty beer cans and party cups into the trash. You could see in the later scenes that there was still trash all over the kitchen counter and trash all over the front lawn.
But, more importantly, Jake's family was rich. Sure, the parents will be mad as heck that there are holes in the ceiling and lots of furniture destroyed. But, it's nothing that money can't fix. Hire a few maids and contractors and the house is back to normal. Then, it was probably time to redecorate the living room anyway.
Jake may be grounded for a month, but, hey, no big deal.
